I use this trimmer on a farm as a replacement for a standard trimmer and it is a BEAST yet extremely cheap. Go to Home Depot and see what a standard trimmer costs these days. These are better and half the cost of a name brand with half the power.It came with everything you need. For someone using it all of the time you would want to get a better harness. But the included one works fine. You cannot use it without a harness unless you have four hands.Assembly is easy. It comes with all tools and parts.The motor is a very high compression motor. It starts with a tiny pull (maybe 1/3 of the length of the starter cord or less. Literally one compression cycle of the cylinder). I mean VERY tight compression. In fact, my wife probably couldn’t start it. But the short pull is welcome if you don’t start it before harnessing.It doesn’t smoke. It doesn’t die. It doesn’t bog down. It doesn’t act stupid like some of my past trimmers have. It doesn’t die when it gets hot. It hasn’t overheated and I’ve treated it like a swamp mule.I use .105 trimmer string in it and it has no trouble happily spinning it through very dense weeds and brush. I have never felt that it lacked for power. With .105 string it has flung a half buried brick a couple of feet.The parts seem heavy duty. It is not light. But if you really need to cut large swaths of dense weeds and grass, this thing is unstoppable.It has never failed to start on the first pull in a couple of months of medium use.Note it takes a 50:1 mix. Don’t be dumb and buy premixed gas for 24 dollars a gallon. Get a gas can, ethanol free gas, and several months worth of oil for the same price. Take a sharpie and mark the fuel tank 50:1 and mark that gas can 50:1 and you will live a happy life.The plastic is heavy duty. Nothing has broken. This has a heavy duty shaft as well (hence heavier) that should last a long time. I haven’t tried the blade attachment and don’t plan to.Refilling the trimmer line is easy and parts don’t pop off and spring away when you do it.Zero complaints. Just get one.I paid full price. No one wants to give me free things for my reviews and I wouldn’t take them if they did. I’m a proud farmer and I don’t BS.
