Craftsman 32cc 2 cycle Split Boom Gas Trimmer —
After more than 10 years of service our trusty Craftsman weed eater finally decided to call it a day. We went to Sears to see what they had and was surprised by the number of choices -- weed eaters have every option you can think of nowadays!
What drew us to this one was the fact it has the Incredi-Pull technology. This is the easiest thing to start I've ever owned! It makes our old one look like a medieval device! You literally prime it and pull -- it starts with almost no resistance whatsoever.
We also liked the face that it had a detachable boom so you can add "Accessories" if you wish. We haven't added any, but they have a full range -- from tiller to snow blower. It's great that you can buy one tool and get so many "extra possibilities" as it were.
Finally, what we really like is the performance. It uses a new type of line where you don't have to feed it a spool -- just insert a new "segment" of line. The line itself comes pre-cut and lasts a long time. In fact a month later and we just now changed out to a new piece. Even the medium-duty line can handle small brush. The 32cc engine makes sure that it has enough power to tackle any overgrown yard!
Great price, great features and so easy to start that why in the world would I ask for anything else? I have no doubt this guy will last another 10 years -- the Craftsman quality continues on.
