Great features, pull issues!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like the concept of this unit. It is not only a weed eater, but it has the flexibility to purchase many different connections including hedge trimmers, pole saw and an edger among others. This is a very sold unit, but I did have issues with the pull string. It is likely on me for pulling too hard, but right off the bat, the pull string got stuck on me. I had to open up the unit to release it for recoil. I took a mental not to control...

Power Power Power 27CC Performance is Great

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So I wanted to give it a few weeks before writing any kind of review for my brand new Craftsman WS2400 that comes with the power-punching 27cc engine. I have used this for the opening of the Spring here in the South and I could not be happier. The power this powerhead punches rivals those the "Pros" use (we know who they are) and the straight shaft trimmer head is just as powerful. I have been zipping through early Spring weeds and using the...

Hello, beautiful yard!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this trimmer because I was sick of my battery operating trimmer dying before I was done with the lawn. The gas power solved my frustrations! I can take care of the front and backyard without worrying about the trimmer dying on me. Plus, it even has edging capabilities, so I can put in the extra attention to detail! Craftsman makes lawn work easy.

Great trimmer

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is an awesome trimmer. My last trimmer was a 4 cycle and was way too heavy and awkward to use. This one is pretty light but still has plenty of power. For most of my light trimming around things in my yard I only have to run it at about half throttle and it still gets the job done. It is also very easy to crank so I didn’t spend 10 minutes pulling on the cord until my shoulder was sore. I also like that the trimmer line is much easier to c...

Converted Long Time Battery User

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been a battery tools guy for the past 5 or so years but they were starting to lose power and my yard seemed to take longer and longer to clean. I finally decided to give gas a shot, and wow. The increase in power is undeniably. The can gas and pull to start will definitely take some getting used to but the fact is, I can do my entire front yard in half the time. When it comes to comfort, the handle design is definitely more optimal t...

Nice Yard

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had a battery powered trimmer for almost the last decade and decided to go with the gas powered again because I never had enough battery to finish the front and back yard. This was a great decision. The WS2400 cuts sharp lines, demolishes all weeds and doesn't required me to adjust the line nearly as often. I would recommend this to others who want to cut down on the amount of time it takes to trim.

Easy to use

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Following the well laid out instructions, the Craftsman trimmer is easy to assemble, easy to handle, easy to start, and easy to use. It's weight is just right to maintain a good balance while in use. The bump string advance feeds line smoothly and easily. I like that there is the capability of adding attachments. It was a little louder than what I expected, but with ear protection, that is not an issue.

Great trimmer!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We upgraded to this string trimmer and I love it! It has a sleek look to it, its very powerful and the engine runs smooth. Its also not on the heavy side so pretty light to hold. I will say that it took some time to load the string, but for the cost, its not too bad! Also, it only took 3 or 4 pumps for the trimmer to start Overall, well worth the money and I recommend it!

Great features!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The CRAFTSMAN WS2400 gas powered weed eater was very easy to put together, it came in two pieces the motor and shaft plus the work head. The work head snapped right into place and had a easy to tighten clamp to secure. It has a very nice throttle trigger and handle that was very ergonomically designed for comfort while working. The work head has a tap and go design so you can tap the string holder on the ground to automatically extend the strin...

Amazing Trimmer

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this trimmer/edger a few weeks ago as part of my push to "reclaim" my messy backyard from weeds. So far, it has been an absolute life-saver. It's easy to set up and use, and very powerful as well. It's made clean cuts around my landscaping and at the fence lines around the yard, and overall left it looking like a brand new property. Couldn't recommend more highly.

Awesome trimmer

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just got this string trimmer and it is a great product. This is a very solid well made unit. I especially like that it has the ability to use attachments with it, like a brush cutter or edger for the driveway or sidewalk.

Purchased warranty but can’t reach warranty center to verify purchase

Great tool

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Super great weed wacker! It allows the attachments, so you can use all in one. I have the edger, weed wacker, pole saw, hedge trimmer, blower, and they are great. Easy to use, and reliable on every start.

Works smoothly with no pull back

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was lucky enough to be able to sample this product and it edges really nice without pull back that a lot of the trimmers experience. It is refreshingly easy to start too as the choke does not lock up like some models of edgers have in past.

Amazing Gas Trimmer

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Craftsman gas string trimmer is one of the best trimmers on the market. Very powerful with an 18" cutting width, this trimmer feels so comfortable in my hands. I can trim all day because of so little vibration on my hands. The trimmer is very easy to start and never fails to start when needed. The bump head on this trimmer works perfectly and never jams. I highly recommend this gas string trimmer.

Excellent Machine for the Price!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is another excellent machine by CRAFTSMAN! The best part about this trimmer is the simplicity. It does exactly what you want, and is high quality for the price point. Nowadays there is a large variety of trimmers that range dramatically in price. At this price, I don't believe there is a better option out there. The string release works great, and is not complicated to load. I liked the pre-cut string that comes with the trimmer, and w...

Ease of Use and Gets the Job DONE!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been happy with the Craftsman Trimmer, it's powerful but it also seems to have minimal vibration when in use. I have a large corner lot and the comfort of using it with minimal vibration was important to me. I like the way it puts the final touch on my yard when done and I hope to get a lot of use out of the trimmer over the years.

Weed tremble in their roots!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Dang this thing is powerful! I've had weed whackers in the past, but there's nothing stopping this little 27-cc engine that could. We live on 2 acres so the weeds can get pretty gnarly. Feels like you need a machete to get through some of the thick thistles, but this thing made short work of it. I also love that I can upgrade to different attachments. I'm eyeing the pole saw attachment. I'm sure this engine will make it sing.

I love this trimmer

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The CRAFTSMAN WS2400 is an excellent string trimmer. It has plenty of torque to get the job done. It doesn’t bog down in thick grass. This trimmer was very easy to assemble, after adding fuel and oil (included in the box) It started on the 2nd pull and has run, flawlessly since the first day. I use 93 octane in my mowers and small engine equipment and it has operated smoother. I took off the trimmer attachment and added the available edg...
