Troy-Bilt TB590BC 18-Inch 29cc 4-Cycle Gas Powered Clutched Straight Shaft String Trimmer/Brush Cutter With EZ-Link Coupler

The Troy-Bilt 29 cc 4-cycle clutched straight-shaft gas trimmer features a deluxe adjustable J-handle, making it an ideal choice for both left and right-handed users, and includes a smooth-pull starting system for an easier start. It features EZ-link capability, a feature that allows the upper motor and handle to adapt to various other EZ-Link garden tools and devices (sold separately), and the included cutting line features a bump-head line feed for easy non-stop cutting when more line is needed. The trimmer comes with a 2-year warranty.
Customer Review: Not what is advertised
Having had years of experience with 2 cycle trimmers I was looking for a better more dependable outcome with a 4 cycle trimmer. I selected this Troy-Bilt model from Amazon as I was unable to purchase locally as there were no choices. Delivery was fast, set up was easy, starting it was .... a nightmare. I followed the multi-step starting instructions explicitly, and repeatedly. After repeated attempts I finally was able to start the engine by completely closing the choke lever (position 1) until it sputtered, then opening the choke lever to position 2, it started! After letting it warm up by holding the throttle lever to maximum for several minutes, it would continue to run at idle. However when I positioned the choke lever to position 1 (per the instructions) the engine stopped. This happens every time I am able to start the engine. This engine is not properly adjusted to function per the detailed starting instructions provided by Troy-Bilt. This engine has turned out to be even more frustrating than I have encountered with 2 cycle engines. I also find the engine speed to be slower than 2 cycle trimmers, and this definitely affects the quality and ease of trimming grass. The engine rotation is also different, turning the trimmer string counterclockwise. Being right handed, the grass clippings now completely cover my shoes and legs making a bigger than normal mess. I will be returning this trimmer, and will purchase a 2cycle trimmer at half the cost that will work twice as good.
Customer Review: Great, but...
I have one of these (or it's immediate predacessor model) for 5 years and it worked flawlessly. Then one day I was knee deep in the swamp cutting cattails just under the waterline and KABLOOEY! The cattails wrapped around the bush cutter head and the EZ Link drive cable twisted apart at the coupling. I thought it could do everything! I was disappointed. ;-)) Actually I give it 5 stars. It was saftey engineered well enough that I didn't have my arm cut off when the cutting head wrapped around the cattails and pulled me off my feet into the swamp and the cutter. The safety engine kill and brake worked like a charm. I took the motor (which was still alright) and made a fence post auger out of it. That sucker has some torque! Yes, I am a red-neck if you were wondering...

Swisher Shindaiwa E4 Power Multi-Tool String Trimmer Attachment #E4-U3001

The Trimmer Attachment converts a multi-tool power source into a professional string trimmer. With a solid steel drive shaft and heavy-duty four-bearing gear case design. Easy tap and feed trimmer head is standard.
Customer Review: Quality tool with great quick-disconnect
Swisher/Shindaiwa's quick-disconnect on their multi-tool is exceptional. The lock-up at the joint is very solid, with no play at all, and the drive is via a solid shaft - not a cable as with almost all others. I down-rate this attachment to 4 stars only because the bump head isn't up to the quality of the rest of the tool. I changed mine out to an Echo pre-cut string head several years ago and have never looked back.

Earthwise CST00012 18 Volt 12-Inch Cordless String Trimmer

Earthwise 12-Inch cordless string trimmer. 18 volt NiCad battery and charger included. With rotating, telescopic handle. Has adjustable auxiliary handle for better maneuverability. 3 position adjustable head for better angles with flip down edge guard. Built in plug and cord retention hook. Lime green customer touch points makes for easy use
Customer Review: Terrible Product
This item worked properly only once. On the second use the handle got stuck after it was powered and I had to really play with it to shut it down. Additionally the cord did not self feed but it did tangle. I returned it and received a replacement. The replacement battery charger stopped working after one use. This seems to be a one use product. I am buying a Homelite version at Home Depot tonight. It too has good reviews so we'll see. I would not recommend this product to anyone.
Customer Review: Earthwise 18 volt Cordless String Trimmer
This product is a good product for very light duty. I found that the semi-auto feed line was a little difficult to operate whereas I had to manually pull string out several times. The battery power was short, about 20 mins. This is great product for very light yard work, not good as an edger. Be sure to keep your yard maintained because this unit will not do a good job if the weeds are high.

Tanaka No Brainer Quick Load Cutting Head (for curved shaft string trimmers) #32307

It's a No Brainer. Simply push button, insert line, and cut.
Customer Review: Quick And Easy String Change
This replacement head sure beats the bump and feed method to extract more line out of the head. \String replaement is easy just press the release button, pull out the old damaged line, and insert a new precut line. Installation on my reconditioned Ryobi electric trimmer Factory Reconditioned Ryobi 15-Inch 6 Amp Electric String Trimmer #ZRRY41002 was easy as well. Just unscrew the original head, slip on the provided spacer , and screw on the replacement head. All string trimmers should have this head.
Customer Review: cuttting head
The line is easy to change but seems to use up to quickly. The plastic casing doesn't hold up if hard objects are hit.---- Brian

Black & Decker NST2018 18-Volt Cordless Electric 12-Inch Grass Hog String Trimmer With Two Batteries

The Black & Decker 18-Volt Cordless Grass Hog Trimmer/Edger puts the finishing touches on any lawn or garden. There are no extension cords or gas engines to maintain, and the light weight adds to simplified operation. A large 12-inch cutting path covers a lot of groud in a single pass when trimming, and the tool offers deep, defined borders when switched over to edging. Black & DeckerÆs patented gear drive transmission delivers the most power and cutting performance of any cordless trimmer in this voltage class.


An intuitive, easy-to-use design helped the NST2018 win its designation as a Consumers Digest Best Buy. View larger.
Edging and Trimming in One Tool
The Grass Hog Trimmer/Edger combines two tools in one to make lawn and garden care more convenient. Use the tool's edger function to add borders to your pathways and flower beds, which helps to fight weeds and define the areas in your yard. Flip the head back over to a trimming tool to clip grass around delicate plants or in tight corners, giving your grounds a clean, manicured look. The large 12-inch cut path makes it possible to complete your yard work in less time.

Integrated Features for Performance and Comfort
Black & Decker's Automatic Feed Spool keeps the line at a constant perfect length for trimming, so you can finish your tasks without interruption. The shaft telescopes to fit your height, and an adjustable handle makes holding and operating the trimmer/edger comfortable for all users.

Extended Range of Use with Cordless, Rechargeable Power
With its 18-volt battery, the trimmer/edger lets you tend to the most remote areas on your property without the hassle of winding extension cords or maintaining gas or oil engines. The Grass Hog includes two batteries--use one and keep the other in the included charger so it's ready the next time you need it. The battery also works with other select cordless Black & Decker lawn tools for added convenience.

The rechargeable power greatly reduces noise and emission pollution associated with gas engines to protect your hearing and environment.

The Black & Decker 18-Volt Cordless Electric Grass Hog Trimmer/Edger is covered by a two-year warranty.

What's in the Box
18-Volt 12" Cordless Trimmer / Edger, 18-volt battery charger, two 18-volt batteries #244760-00


Clean, cord-free battery power allows for effective trimming, and the switch from trimmer to edger is always a simple, tool-free task.


Customer Review: Light, easy to use
I was looking for a cordless trimmer to use around my small yard. This trimmer works perfectly for what I need it for. The trimmer comes with an extra battery, which would be needed if your yard is large, I can use it twice before it runs out. The adjustable cover makes edging easy. Overall a great trimmer for those that have a small to medium sized yard.
Customer Review: Great Trimmer for Beginners
This is an awesome trimmer for people who are just starting out working on their yard. It is light weight and easy to maneuver. There is definitely a learning curve when trimming and edging and my yard may not be as perfect as a professionally manicured lawn, but it looks pretty darn good if I do say so myself. I would highly recommend this trimmer, especially for people with small yards. (I have been warned that the batteries may not last very long, but with my small yard, I haven't had any problems.) Happy gardening!

The dual handles also make it simple to convert from trimming to edging. Toro trimmers also make it easy to manage your trimmer line.

Customer Review: Toro 13 inch trimmer
Toro products have always worked well for me doing landscaping and the 13 inch trimmer is no exception. Tough little machine.
Customer Review: Wimpy
My old Craftsman 2-cycle trimmer gave up the ghost so I decided to go green with an electric. Once I got it going, the old Craftsman used to make short work of the weeds in my garden and behind my house. The string broke about 12 times on the Toro and I had to open up the spool to fish it out. And the garden was only about 1/4 done. I finally threw it down in disgust and gave up. It may be OK for trimming the grass around the edges of your yard, but that's about it.

Black & Decker GH600 Grass Hog 14-Inch 5-AMP Electric String Trimmer and Edger

A broad 14-inch cutting swath and a powerful five Amp electric motor help the Black & Decker Grass Hog GH600 Electric String Trimmer and Edger make edging, trimming, and weed eating easy tasks to handle. It features a Groom'N'Edge head that can be rotated 180-degrees for quick switches between cutting and edging tasks along with Black & Decker's Automatic Feed Spool (AFS) system, which uses centrifugal force to dispense more line whenever you need it for added predictability and dependability--no bumping required. Also offering the simplicity of electric startups and weighing in at just 5.2 pounds, it's a machine that is incredibly easy to handle, and you won't have to contend with the strain that repeated pull starts and heavier tools can put on your body. Other convenient design elements include a flip-down edge guide, four-position height adjustment, and an adjustable auxiliary handle for a customizable experience and improved comfort. Corded power means work is never brought to a standstill by a dead battery or an empty gas tank, and a patented cord-lock system prevents accidental extension cord disconnections while you work. This tool is backed by a limited 2-year warranty.
Customer Review: DANGEROUS: Line auto advances too far, gets automatically cut, and may fly into your legs or face
My face was seriously cut (deep quarter inch gouge on my left cheek) by the excess advanced line snippet. The Black and Decker Grass Hog automatically advances the line (versus punching down on the head), however too much line is advanced and a 2-4" snippet flies off and may hit your legs or face depending on the swivel setting of the Grass Hog. I am returning it immediately. For my health, I will never use this machine again. Please be aware of the risks of this machine.
Customer Review: The Best Yet!
I waited quite a while before writing a review since I have used several gas and electric trimmers and edgers over the years. I must honestly say this is, without one doubt, the very best one I have ever had. The line lasts much longer (each spool) than I predicted. I am a fanatic regarding my lawn and grass and I could not recommend a trimmer more than this!! I am trilled. No tangles, no line breaks, easy-simple-a no brainer to use. Light weight but powerful. I hope they make this one for many years because I have finally found a lightweight, powerful, and effective trimmer. I am more than a believer!

Customer Review: Battery problems
The trimmer worked great - the first two weeks. Then, the charger started blinking red, which means the battery isn't accepting the charge. It was bought through an Amazon second party seller. They said the couldn't replace only the batter and to contact WORX. WORX said to go throught the seller because it was less than 90 days old. The seller has now agreed to ship a new trimmer, and I'm awaiting its arrival. I then will ship the old one back. This is all a hassle, but in the end the company was responsive. I read of other people having battery problems, but went ahead with the purchase. The trimmer design is good, but the battery may be the weak link.
Customer Review: Not worth it.
I bought this with the extra battery so that I could have a battery always ready. I need about one and one/half hours to trim everything. Even with the extra battery, I cannot do that. In addition, it doesn't cut powerfully enough to do the work. As a woman, the light weight appealed to me as well as the clean battery, but I will go to a gas trimmer next.

Customer Review: For us it's been a dependable workhorse
We live in the country and after clearing land with a sythe my husband was looking for something to help him clear the brush and cut back the weeds/grass around the shed and other outbuildings. For us it's not about manicuring anything -- we need something that is a hard worker. First time my husband used this he was out there for 5 hours; of course he took some breaks so both he and the motor wouldn't overheat, but this was one solid worker. You know something is good when other people see it in action and ask to borrow it. It's been borrowed...his brother was so impressed he used it around his land (also out in the boonies). We also have the Poulan Pro PP4000C Brush Cutter Trimmer Attachment -- I highly recommend that attachment if you have brush to be cleared or want to trim back little trees and bushes. My husband says it's powerful, but it's better to go half throttle on it and save the engine than get something less powerful and burn the engine out. We just gave one of these trimmers (and the brush attachment) to my suburb-living sister who didn't want anything gas operated. She's changed her mind, they love it.
Customer Review: Poulan Pro String Trimmer
Works better than expected. Starts easy. Really like the string design of not having a spool. Very strong - can trim hedges and light tree limbs as well as the regular grass edgings. Wish I had bought one sooner. The price is low by comparison as well.

The Troy Bilt 17-inch 31 cc 2-cycle clutched curve shaft gas trimmer features a spring assisted starting system, 2-cycle chrome plated cylinder engine, dual exit bump release head, and adjustable standard D-handle. The gas clutched curve shaft split boom trimmer is compatible with all Trimmer Plus attachments and is backed by a 2-year limited manufacturer's warranty.
Customer Review: Simple, Good Directions, Easy to handle.
I'm a woman in my 40's with less upper body strength than an average man has and I do have some trouble with gripping, but this trimmer is fairly easy to handle and starts reliably. My only trouble as a newbie was going in too fast and getting tall weeds wrapped around the base, so watch that. Read up on the directions for best use in tall stuff, get a shoulder strap or make one to balance the weight. I'm very happy with this trimmer after several uses.
Customer Review: I LOVE IT!
After two weeks of reading reviews, talking to friends, checking consumer reports, and comparing many different units, I finally decided on the Troy-bilt TB20CS. I bought it from Lowes for $98.99. When I got home, I put it together. Took about 10 minutes. I put gas into it and read the fairly easy starting instructions. It started right up. I took it behind the fence in my back yard and started chopping away. It works like a dream. Ten times better on the 3 foot high weeds, than my old electric trimmer. It's a little heavier than my electric, but not too bad. Great power, good balance. It's so well balanced, that sometimes I let go with my left hand and just held it with one hand. I told my wife I should have bought one of these ten years ago. All I can say is "I love it!"
