GOOD BUY?????????? [Posted on 2008-02-20]
I OWN A LANDSCAPING BUSINESS AND THE STRAIGHT SHAFT HOMELITE IS A DECENT TRIMMER FOR THE HOMEOWNER....ITS NOT ANY THING CLOSE TO A COMMERCIAL BRAND. THE ONLY REASON I PURCHASED IT WAS BECAUSE OF PRICE...$40. FOR ABOUT $20 MORE YOU CAN GET A FAC. RECONDITIONED STRAIGHT SHAFT RYOBI, FOR $74. THE ROYOBI IS A BETTER BUILT, HIGHER QUALITY, 30CC ENGINE. BUT IF YOU NEED A LIGHT WIEGHT TRIMMER FOR LIGHT USE THEN GET THE HOMELITE. SEE MY REVIEW FOR THE RYOBI......
Great Buy [Posted on 2008-03-17]
This is a great product for the money.The only reason it doesn't rate 5 stars is because the guard is too small.The operator ends up wearing much of the clippings. I strongly recommend using eye protection as the guard doesn't keep things from flying up.The unit works well.Very strong and easy to use.After set-up, the machine started on the third pull.Light weight makes this trimmer ideal for home use.In a previous review a customer said his unit seized up after running only 15 minutes.The set-up recommends the use of a high quality synthetic 2 cycle oil.Most other string trimmers I have used use standard outboard motor oil.The first time I used this trimmer,I ran 2 tankfulls of fuel before stopping for a break.I had no trouble restarting and continuing.I'm pleased with this purchase.

The guard may be too small, but I have a 31cc Poulan with a large guard and I'm usually covered with clippings with it also. The Homelite starts easy enough and I was impressed with its power. The light weight is a bonus, I can reach difficult areas by holding it with one hand, difficult to do with my 16 pound Poulan. It's critical to use synthetic oil at the correct ratio.
