Another piece of junk lawn/garden equipment from Crapsman. I have had 2 of these lawnmowers, they were the 3 in 1 mulching. They did a satisfactory job on cutting the grass, when you could get the stupid things to run!!! Be prepared for broken handles and pull strings, broken gas lines, and the pull start piece that is supposed to rewind the line when you pull it- good luck getting it to last more than a few times. I will not buy a craftsman lawnmower again- I'd rather go out and trim my lawn with scissors than mess with another mower like this!
