“Best Trimmer on the Market”

I looked at string trimmers for a week or two before making a decision.  I can't tell you how many trips I mad to my local Sears, ******, **********, etc...  I'm a fan of Craftsman, but wanted to give all makes and models consideration.  I decided to go w/ Sears, due to the availability and price of attachments.  The salesman (Seth ~ Sears - Manchester, NH) was very knowledgable about the products, and didn't push any particular model on me.  He showed me which machinces would take attachements, so it was narrowed down to four weed whackers.  Two 2 - cycles and two 4 - cycles. 

I am only...

“This grass trimmer gets the job done.”

Enough power and ergonomics to get the job done with less fatigue. We took advantage of a Sears sale to get the most for our money. The additional edger really made this a smart purchase. Now our yard always looks well kept.

“Powerful and efficient Craftsman 4 cycle grass trimmer”

Craftsman's 29cc 4 cycle Grass Trimmer (Manufacturer Product # 79197) is the most efficient grass trimmer I've used in some time.

With the 79197, there is less noise pollution and less vibration which are aspects that matter after more than 30 minutes of use or anyone with a larger area to maintain.

“Strong, easy to start, wonderful product”

The Craftsman 4 cycle trimmer (79197) is a beast of a machine, putting out torque I've never seen in a trimmer, but then again, all my life I used 2-cycle trimmers.  I also use the brushcutter attachment on it, and it takes a lot of brush and weeds to slow down this trimmer.  It takes down the brush in my backyard easily.

“Great for around the Barn/Farm”

One of the realities of a family farm is the fact that you need to have STURDY, reliable, and multi-use equipment - and this 4 Cycle Gas Trimmer does the trick.

 It worked well in all the situations I used it -- from trimming grasses/crops along the fence line -- to the use of the Brushcutter attachment to take care of the horrendous amounts of woody shrubs/trees that also compound the situation with HUGE fence lines, behind/around the barn, in Horse Turn-outs, and by the Farm Equipment Storage areas.

 I used this extensively for several weeks after 1st purchasing (believe me -- the Shoulder Harness...
