Make room in your shed this summer for the powerful Craftsman Weedwacker Gas Trimmer 29cc 4 Cycle Straight. It will give you the ability to switch seamlessly from chore to chore and cross items off your to do list faster than ever.

Easy to set-up and start, it's the perfect tool, ready to go the minute you get it, and built with the Incred-Pull™ starting system, it'll start with more ease than most weed trimmers on the market.

Difference between this and the 71197 Trimmer
I couldn't determine from the website the difference between this trimmer and the one that costs $40-$50 less (depending on the sale) that is also a 4 cycle, straight shaft, 29cc trimmer. After several phone calls, I was told that this one actually has an upgraded oil system that uses oil injectors instead of relying on spray. The injectors are supposed to help the motor get oil when it is held at varying angles used when trimming. My 10 year old Troy built 4 cycle's cylinder and rings still look brand new, so I don't know if this system necessary, but at least now you know so you can make the decision.

Nice trimmer but handle isn't worth the extra money
I purchased this to replace an older model that wouldn't start for some reason. Very happy with the older one and since my sons are at the mowing for money age, thought it wouldn't hurt to have two. I'll get the other one fixed shortly. Back to this new one. Starts easy, lighter than my older one and runs good but the new fangled handle mechanism with the ball/clamp adjustment is terrible. The vibration of the trimmer causes the handle to move while you are using it. I'm going back to the store to see if I can get them to give me a regular handle. My advice: save yourself $30 and get the next model down. Same exact trimmer with a non-adjustable handle.

Cannot handle 1/4 acre or more.

I used this model, and the model below this one. Both of them started having clutch slipping issues and bearings making noise after around 45 minutes of use. Returned trimmer and purchased a Husqvarna gas trimmer.

Good For One Year Only

Purchased 4/12 and ran ok for first season. Second season very hard to start. Fifteen or Twenty minutes of pulling and it might start. I use sta-bul in gas and ran it dry at end of first season. one expensive hunk of junk. Sears and Craftsman has gone down in quality since becoming part of Kmart (my opinion). I gave it one star because there was nothing lower.

Buyer Beware. All Craftsman trimmers have Chinese MTD engins.

I purchased this trimmer last summer because of how well it did the consumer reports test and because it can run the .130 lines. It ran OK on mid-throttle but would sputter at full-throttle. I ran ethanol free fuel and drained the carb, lines, and tank before storing it for the winter. Now the motor will not start. I asked at the store what I should do about it and they asked if I had ever run E10(10% ethanol) fuel in it and I said yes. I was then told that the warranty is void if you use standard fuel in this device. As it turns out these Craftsman trimmers all have MTD engines that come from China. Do yourself a favor and go to a local Stihl or ECHO dealer and get something decent. It will only cost you a few dollars more but you will not have to repair/replace it in a year.

powerful but heavy

This trimmer works fine and has sufficient power for the jobs I have done but I plan to add a sling or harness to help support the weight.

Falling apart but easy to repair

There are several screws that came loose soon after I began using it. One is missing completely and isn't identified on the schematic.

I would recommend this product to a friend.

Love this trimmer

Love this trimmer. Starts on first or second pull everytime. Love not having to bother with the choke. Adjustable handle works great. I did switch out the head with the old Craftsman dual line hassle free head so that I have 4 lines instead of the 2 that they have gone to. Also like that I can use any size line with this trimmer. Also purchased the edger, hedge trimmer, and pole saw attachments. They all work great!!!

I would recommend this product to a friend.
