I bought this model in 2003 and have used it weekly from early May through October for the past 7.5 years. I've never cleaned the air filter, changed the spark plug, adjusted the carburetor, or given it any care and attention whatsoever. I have only added fuel and trim line as necessary, and this unit has never failed me. Most years, I haven't even bothered to drain the fuel or add fuel stabilizer at the end of the season.
It finally died a couple weeks ago. The two fuel lines rotted and broke, resulting in the pickup falling off in the bottom of the tank. This is an easy fix - the fuel lines (one large diameter and one small diameter) are available for $4.19 each at the Sears Repair Center. I will pick them up this week, and while I'm at it, will replace the plug and clean the filter. Then I should be good to go for another 7 or 8 years.
This weedwacker is a steal at $60! I have never found it lacking in power, it's lightweight and easy to manoeuver, and not too loud, and is obviously robust in that it gave me nearly 8 years of service despite my neglect.

It worked ok for the 1st season but at the begining of the second season it stopped running so I used my old trimmer until i got a chance to look at it. I fould that the fuel lines deteriorated and disconected inside the fuel tank. When I asked the sears service guy if this is a common problem he said he has seen the problem alot but if he was to look at it it would cost me $55-85 or more. The trimmer was $125 brand new. He told me I should do the math. Now I have a 1 season old craftsmann string trimmer heading for the landfill. It's not your fathers Craftsmann anymore .There was a time that the name meant something different..I will buy a new one but not a Craftsmann.

always outsidehi i order this weedwacker thinking of getty good deal but went it got home i looks at this i was thinking if my son order him self a trimmer i try it but a broke on me so this is a not good deal only if you what to make a gift for your wive
all about curb appealRead the bad reviews, I didn't have the problems others wrote in their reviews. Put it together, mixed the right amount of fuel, primed it, pulled cord a few times - didn't start, realized I didn't depress the on button. Depressed the on button and started first pull. Did a lot of pre trimming, turned it off to move a bench and wheel barrow - then restarted it and finished up my trimming. Works better and faster than my other two weed trimmers - one is gas (Green color) and the other is Sears electric.
Considering all the reviews - I am thankful that I didn't have any problems.
mowing the lawnSo far I have to say this is a Great trimmer, I like the way you can turn the shift to make it easier to edge. For the money you can't go wrong !!!!!
