Toro 3.5 Amp 11-Inch Electric String Trimmer #51347

This trimmer has a dependable 3.5 amp motor that is great to trim & edge thick grasses and weeds. Its dual "trigger grip" upper handle & adjustable assist handle make it easy & comfortable to operate. They also allow for simple conversion from trimming to edging. It has the patented bump-feed line advance, you simply tap the trimmer head when you need more line. No tools are needed to change the spool and it has an exclusive cord lock system that prevents accidental disconnects. Covered by a 2-year full warranty.
Customer Review: I do not recommend this model
In general I prefer electric trimmers to gas ones. I don't mind the cord, and they are cleaner and quieter than other styles. I'm looking for a new trimmer - different brand. I used a Weed-Eater brand trimmer for years, and was very happy with it. After losing that one, I bought this one... mistake... I have used this one for about a year - moderate use in a small suburban Texas yard. It worked well with the original spool. I have fought with the spool & string repeatedly since then. When it is time for a change, the entire mechanism gets stuck together to the point of being unworkable -- will not budge. Screwwdrivers and channel-locks only scrape up the spool worse. The long plastic bar broke in half yesterday when I tapped it on the ground to let out some more line - really cheap construction. Will never buy Toro again.
