Easy To Use Weed Trimmer
This weed trimmer replaced another Craftman weed trimmer I had for 20 years, and this one is 20 times better. It's lighter, faster, and easier to use. I highly recommend it especially for the low price.

FAULTY BUMP FEED
Do not buy this product. I know it seems like a really great price, but you really do get what you pay for. This worked fine as long as I was still on the string spool that originally came with the trimmer, but as soon as I replaced the string, I ran into problems.
After doing a little research, I found that mine is not an isolated problem. The spool cover on this trimmer is just a little too loose, so it doesn't hold the spool in place. After using this for a little while, the cover becomes too loose, and the spool is free to spin when the trimmer is turned on. That means that string is sent flying out of the trimmer on every rotation.
I thought that perhaps I was doing something wrong in loading the string, but nope, directions were followed to the letter. Save the $30 and put it toward something that will last longer than 1 month.

Looks great hanging on wall
This trimmer looks great. It is lightweight and adjustable for smaller or taller people. The price is crazy low and easy to lift. If you want to trim your grass with this then you bought the wrong thing. This trimmer does not do what it is supposed to do. The line continuously feeds and then wraps around the spinning shaft. Sometimes the string will actually cut on the cutting blade and fly into your leg which feels great. I even went to Sears to buy a new pre-lined spool in case my MBA did not prepare me to put line on correctly and it did the same thing. I only purchased this because my wife wanted something easy enough for her to use. Well, as you can guess, she has never tried it and I get stuck trying to use it. Do not waste any money on this at all. Go to lunch at Chilis instead.

Nice trimmer!
For the low end, corded trimmer, it does the job. Pretty inexpensive and a great value.

Gets the job done. Period.
To sweeten the deal, i had a coupon to take an additional 10 bucks off the price. Brought it home, easy assembly, got to work. My yard isn't that big but has a nasty combination of grass in it. This has more than enough power to take down anything in its path. The little critters were running for cover! Its not that heavy, but it would be helpful to switch hands while working. The shaft adjust easily for average heights, people over six feet might have to bend down a tad. The cutting head tilts to three positions so you can edge your lawn as well. The only knock i have against it, when you bump feed the line, a lot bumps out, wasting quite a bit of line. Overall a great trimmer for everybody at this price point.

Purchased mine about 4 - 5 years ago
Have been some minor changes since I purchased mine, (1) mine is 4.6 amp (2) had the option to go with roll of string and use the "bump" method or switch out one part and use the 12 inch length string. Which is good because you don't have to spend the extra cash buying the pre-cut ones, you can buy a roll of the nylon string and cut it into a lot of 12 inch strips! You can also use a slightly heavier gauge nylon which doesn't wear down as fast. This isn't meant for heavy duty jobs, but works great for normal trimming. Back when I purchased mine they were running $39.99, now they are $29.99. I would safely say that in going on its' 5th year I have many times over regained my investment. Not sure if new models have the option to switch out from spool to pre-cut nylon string, if it does, that is the best route to go.

Edger
Great value for an edger. Only downfall is that the line is too light. All the rest of the features are great. Would be an ideal unit for smaller property. Lots of power but with line it wears quickly.
