kdawn14 says "Best Trimmer on the Market" about Craftsman 4 cycle Grass Trimmer (79197)

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 5'4" and 135#'s, so I was nervous about upgrading to a 4 - cycle weed whacker. The overall length is longer, plus the motor is a hair larger. 18 pounds seems like a lot to carry around. The major turn off w/ the 2 - cycle machine is the head, it only come's w/ the bump & go (bump fed) style cutting head. At this point and time, craftsman does not offer a hassle free head attachment; however...

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.

sglmom says "Great for around the Barn/Farm" about Craftsman 4 cycle Grass Trimmer (79197)

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 comes in mighty handy -- it does get to be a burden after about the 1st hour of use) .. but it ran like a champ.

I would suggest that you NOT purchase the already cut to the correct size weed-wacking strings -- get the LARGEST package of reel and cut it yourself. Within an hour -- I used up approximately 4-5 pairs of weed-wacking strings (and this was the thickest sizes) -- so you can see that...

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....

B525i says "Powerful and efficient Craftsman 4 cycle grass trimmer" about Craftsman 4 cycle Grass Trimmer (79197)

B525i — Sun, 27 Jul 2008 16:05:23 GMT

Craftsman's 29cc 4 cycle Grass Trimmer (Manufacturer Product # 79197) is the most efficient grass trimmer I've used in some time. Having owned and used a 2 cycle grass trimmer known as "The Green Machine" for years, I have found this 4 cycle grass trimmer to be significantly easier to use. 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. Helpful to any gardener, regardless of the size of the garden, is the easy-pull function -- with this feature, the machine started after two pulls right out of the box. This is a product that actually helps gardeners do the job of grass and weed trimming and does so very efficiently....
