Hyper Tough 16" Curved Shaft Gas String Trimmer

First things first. Every 25cc weed whip between under $200 is the same motor and carb. People have issues because they trust the fuel. DON'T USE REGULAR PUMP GAS! Use recreation fuel or if you don't like mixing your fuel and oil buy the premixed ethanol free cans. the carburetors on small engines are sensitive and can get gummed up quick. Regular pump gas cannot last very long in a gas can. Since they added ethanol to it, it attracts moisture causing the problems the bad reviews have had. How do I know you ask. I'm a small engine mechanic and work on this stuff every day. 90% of the service work we do could of been avoided by people using recreation fuel instead of regular pump gas. I included a fun pic of a carb on a $300 weed whip that I had to give it a heated sonic bath for half a day to clean the ethanol enriched regular fuel out of its jets to get running.

Great for what it does! This is actually a TroyBuilt Trimmer with the stupid name "Hyper Tough". It's a nice little trimmer for the household and small backyard. You will have to get the 40:1 fuel for this. Forget the mixing the gallon with the oil. It's messy and not worth your time. The carburator would also get gunked up after a while if you do that. I bought this for a second home where yard maintenance is minimal. I recommend it will work well and with the 2 year warranty it should last about that long. For the price of it, it's worth it better than those silly battery powered units. When you're doing serious yardwork you need gas-powered unit. Oh also, on the box it says "gasoline powered" however they should say it needs the 40:1 fuel, kind of misleading, but then again what do you want for $80? Overall I recommend and I'm very satisfied with it. Lastly, if you need a professional version of this get a Husquarna or Stihl unit which are more powerful and better quality.

Easy to assembly. Has more power at idle then my old electric had at full power. I bought the premixed fuel with it and could not be happier. Follow the starting instructions and it runs right away with very few pulls. No smoke but average noise .

This is my second hyper tough string trimmer. I have had my first one for over five years and it has never failed me once. The only maintenance I have had to do was an easy carburetor adjustment and it still works like the day I bought it. Bought a new one because I plan on passing the old one on to a family member. Great price and great product. Longest lasting trimmer Ive ever had.

This has been really good weedwhacker. Sometimes I had to advance the string manually as it jams. When our lawn mower broke I actually used it to cut the entire, overgrown lawn. Twice. I also use the 40:1 premixed fuel mix in it. Overall, I'm very happy with this purchase.

If you follow the starting instructions to the letter, this thing starts right up. it is a 3 step process so be patient. powerful. i added a shoulder strap to carry the weight while using. one more tip. make sure to use recreation gas without ethanol and mix it with synthetic 2 stroke oil (supplied) at 40:1. avoid ethanol.

I bought this weed eater about a month ago. I've used it 3 times. I needed to restring it. when I attempted to remove the cap that seals the string into place I realized it is stuck. At first I assumed I tightened it to tight. after many videos on how to get it off, I realised more people had the same issue with this weed eater. needless to say many cut the cap off only to realize it wasnt the cap that was the issue. I liked the way it worked but am returning it because of not being able to get the string out.

Used once and threw it away. Junk.

would not recommend. stupid thing is awful to get started. go buy a good weed eater not this pile of crap. unpacked it. filled it up with the premix fuel. followed the instructions. after about pulling my arm out of socket it finally started. it's that hard to start every. time. I unpacked it today and finally got the yard done. much cursing and blisters later. through gloves blisters. ugh.

I've only used it one and regret my decision. Assembly was fine, set-up great but it stalls randomly and the trimmer line doesn't bump out like as required, just jams regardless of following the directions. The motor cover also cracked from being set down or already had a hairline crack when purchased.
