bobmehl says "Good for the money" about Craftsman 29cc 4 cycle Gas Edger

This edger works adequately once you learn how to use it. It doesn't cut as cleanly as more powerful models but then it is lighter, easier to handle, and less expensive. Once you learn how to use it, it does the job. It's not as versatile as a higher end model. My biggest complaint is that Sears stores do not carry the replacement blade. However, ***** does (MTD). You can order it from Sears or save money and get it at *****.

Pky6471 says "just an OK edger - same engine as Troy Bilt" about Craftsman 29cc 4 cycle Gas Edger

This Craftman 4-cycle gas edger is the same as the Troy Bilt that is being sold at ***** for $159. 100% the same engine and design but different name. I was considering the electric B&D LE750 edger which has good reviews but I was afraid that it does not have enough torque for overgrown sidewalk that I have not touched in 10 yrs. I have used it 2 times since I bought it from *****, so here is my initial report. (1) I bought it because of 4-cycle engine, no gas/oil mixing required (2) light wt and small enough to store in a tight-space garage (3) When first use ,it would take 4-5 pulls before the engine would start, this is annoying , once the engine is hot then it will start on the first pull (4) it does a sufficient job to cut thru thick grass, but you have to do it very slowly... for that reason I don't think the electric B&D LE750 would have the torque to handle the overgrown edge... Once it's trimmed nicely, then it should be no problem for the B&D LE750

***** has a policy to return...

stros says "glad I bought the extended warranty" about Craftsman 29cc 4 cycle Gas Edger

This edger is not very good. It takes several passes to give your edge a "fresh cut" look. It is also extremely difficult to handle on the curb. I've had it for a 1 1/2 years and it has started fine until now. Nothing turns now as if the pull cord is pulling freely. I'm returning it with the warranty and looking for something else....

MitchInOKC says "Does not cut grass" about Craftsman 29cc 4 cycle Gas Edger

sears-feed — Tue, 17 Feb 2009 02:45:06 GMT

Plain and simple ... this edger does not cut grass. It pushes it out of the way. Also, does not work well on the curb by the street. Save your money and buy something better....

brianh76 says "Not bad for the price" about Craftsman 29cc 4 cycle Gas Edger

I needed an edger but didn't want to buy a large bulky model or a flimsy electric or 'weed-eater' style model. This one fit my needs and my budget. Two complaints: the shaft is not as sturdy as I thought it would be; there is a little wobble and play in the main shaft that makes the unit feel a bit flimsy during use. My second complaint is that Sears does not offer or even list the part number for the replacement blades. After four or five uses, the machine appears to do a fairly good job and seems like a decent value to me. I would probably buy it again but only after verifying that I could buy the correct replacement blades at the same time....

FreedomFighter001 says "Gas Edger" about Craftsman 29cc 4 cycle Gas Edger

sears-feed — Fri, 15 Aug 2008 16:30:03 GMT

Edger does not make a complete cut first time. After 2 or 3 passings the ground is cut. Tough grass and weeds are not fully cut, so you have to hand pull them out. Edger has a good start and hold position and easily starts after a delay. Being that it's a Craftsman product I expected a more versatile edger with a higher capacity cutting edge....

wbrTX says "Very Poor Product!" about Craftsman 29cc 4 cycle Gas Edger

sears-feed — Mon, 28 Jul 2008 17:45:03 GMT

I can't say it it any more bluntly than this product is an absolute piece of junk. On the very first use the throttle broke. I didn't get finished with my job and like another reviewer indicated that it does indeed push grass out of the way and barely cuts it. What I did get done I had to do at least twice. I am very disapponted! If I could rate this product less than 1 star I would....

subtm24 says "Poor power" about Craftsman 29cc 4 cycle Gas Edger

sears-feed — Mon, 28 Jul 2008 04:30:02 GMT

Verr poor power. I have thick St Agustine grass and this doesn't spin fast enough to have a clean cut on the grass. Not very stable. With a connecting bar only on one side it is wobley. I do not recomend this for anybody with a thick "tough" edge....

BackSufferer says "Easy To Handle" about Craftsman 29cc 4 cycle Gas Edger

sears-feed — Fri, 18 Jul 2008 18:00:12 GMT

I have used this edger around six times, so its longevity is unknown to me. I want to start by saying I really like this edger and if it were stolen, the following day I would purchase another one (and a guard dog!). But before I give the positive, I am starting on the negative so that you can decide whether to continue reading this review. You need to be aware that the valves need to be adjusted every 10 hours of use. There are five screws to remove the plastic side cover of the motor and one screw to pull off the small rocker cover. Remove the spark plug and turn the motor until piston is at top with both rocker arms loose. Us a .005 gage, loosen the stud lock nut, and adjust. I'm mechanically inclined so I don't think it will be a problem. But if you are not, you will need to factor in taking the edger to a shop for this kind of needed tune up. Also, although it has a smaller engine it still requires me to wear ear plugs. So now for the positive. It looks really nice and has the quality......

TUJVA22 says "Less capable than my 28 year old edger" about Craftsman 29cc 4 cycle Gas Edger

sears-feed — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 03:15:04 GMT

Edger pushes grass out of the way instead of cutting it. The reason for this appears to be the blade rotation (blade spins up instead of down). Add to that the fact the edger pull starter broke after 5 uses and you can understand my rating. I was very disappointed with this product....

sears-feed — Mon, 26 May 2008 14:45:15 GMT

This edger is light and easy to use, A+, the only problem I had is with the blade guard, I have thick St. Augustine grass and the way the guard comes all the way down low up front it was pushing into my lawn before the blade could cut it making it difficult to use, I removed the guard and it threw grass all in my face, very dangerous do not recommend, last I cut it on an angle similar to the larger edgers guard and it was perfect, cuts great and throws grass out the front away fron user, love it now...
