Bent shaft- looks awful-- packaging terrible [Posted on 2005-07-20]
When the Gas Trimmer arrived the box was beat to death. The UPS person said it looked liked it had been thrown in the box. Sure enough it had. There wasn't any carboard around it to hold it in place and the shaft is mashed so badly... huge curve... looks ridiculous. The shaft is supposed to be curved slightly. Everyone that looked at it.. said they couldn't believe it is curved so badly. I wouldn't recommend buying from this company. We are going to try to get someone to straighten the shaft. In order to use it, you need to bend over toward the ground really close and try to angle it to cut the grass.
Due to poor packing, it might have been better.

McCulloch MT700 17" Gas Trimmer [Posted on 2005-08-10]
The McCulloch Gas trimmer is a replacement of an old unit I have had for the past 17 years that I can no longer get parts for. I gave the McCulloch Trimmer a work out and I am very pleased with it. I have not done any grass trimming for several weeks and the McCulloch trimmer had plenty of tall grass to trim. The operator's maual stated that starting the trimmer would only need a light pull of the starter rop to start. The trimmer has a primer Bulb pump on the back at one side and a Choke Lever on the back at the top of the trimmer and you can use eather a single or splite line on the trimmer head and it is a bump type head. After placeing the choke to the full choke and giving the primer bulb 10 pumps and the on/off switch in the on position and one or two pulls of the starter the trimer is running after placing the chock in the 2 position to warm up and the 3rd position to go. The manual is right when it comes to the EZ-pull of the sterter rope. The pull is much lighter then I was used to. over all this trimmer is the best trimmer I have owend and the ease of use is the best I have seen. The balance of it is good and the wight of 11 lbs. not to bad but a shoulder strap would make long triming times less tiring. The only thing I did not like about the trimmer is it did not come with a shoulder strap. The manual makes no referance to one or if one is available. I would recommend this trimmer to friends. This is an MTD product.

mcculloch mt700 broken  [Posted on 2008-05-31]
Tool worked ok first year. Stored 1 year. Pull cord now stripped and will not turn engine. Tried again and almost started (bad click noise from pull cord) then cord broke. Oh well.
