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.

Cheap product!

Would Not Recommend

I bought last summer, used once. Pulled it out, put new gas/oil in, started. Died every time I squeeze trigger. Put new plug, new gas, adjusted fuel delivery, etc. VERY DISSAPOINTED with this product.

String feed doesn’t work

Would Not Recommend

String feed jammed up after 10 minutes. Directions for restring are incomprehensible, however this is moot since the mechanism gets jammed inside constantly. Could not understand how this would work, so brought this useless junk right back for a full refund. Turns out most are being returned quickly. Stop selling these and throw them away cuz they are garbage. DO NOT BUY.
