What Customers Are Saying

The Craftsman gas-powered weed trimmer appears to have mixed performance and reliability. While some users report it is powerful and easy to start for light-duty trimming, many others experienced issues like difficulty starting, frequent stalling, poor durability, and challenges with the trimmer line. Overall, the reviews suggest this is not a consistently reliable or high-quality product, especially for more demanding trimming needs.

Pure junk

Would Not Recommend

All of craftsman mower products are junk. When you have issues with it you have to contact MTD not craftsman. Closest place to me is bout hr and a half away and they may not cover warranty even though it’s in excellent shape and is less then a year old. If it’s the carburetor NOT covered and 9.5 times out of 10 that’s what it is and that’s why it’s not covered. Don’t waste your time on craftsman products pay more for better WORKING quality.

Lightweight

Would Recommend

I like how lightweight it is, but the only crappy party is that it is not long enough for taller people

Worth it for the money

Would Recommend

Attachment bar clicks right in and works with my older craftsman weed whackers, and vice versa. Spunky enough to handle most weeds, light enough not to wear you out. Solid for the price.

Brand new and doesn't work.

Would Not Recommend

Opened the box, read instructions, put it together, then went to use it. After about 20 mins of use it shut off and I could not get it back running. Did everything on the troubleshooting paper but didn't work. Took it to Lowes to exchange but they wouldn't exchange or return it. I now have to do all this extra work with Craftsman and take it to one of their shops to be diagnosed. I am so aggravated and disappointed in this product and the customer service I have received over this. A major waste...

Other than the string issue, its good.

Would Not Recommend

I thought the process of installing the string would help been easier, it was not. And it gets tangled inside.
