Customer Review: unable to get parts!!!!
I bought this ST3812B string trimmer at Cleavers True Value store in Chanute Ks. It performed well. Then when I needed to buy a replacement spool for the trimmer the store did not carry replacement spools. according to the store clerk the main warehouse did not stock them because there was not a high enough demand for them. Come to find out the product has been discontinued and trying to find a replacement spool on line has met with nothing but dead ends!!!! I now have a useless piece of equipment. If this is ANY indication of Remington products they have just lost a customer. Is it true that Remington has gone bankrupt??? figures, screw the customer, just get rid of obselete products!!!!

Customer Review: It's great!!
I've had mine for about 5yrs. I'm now in need of new battiers but it works so good. A little maintance and good to go. Battiers cost a bit but they did last 5 yrs. Can't beat the price I paid 99.00$ for the whole set. Well worth it.
Customer Review: Perfect for me
This is the best of the home tools I have purchased as a homeowner. I charge one battery while using the other one. Perfect and lightweight too.

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...

Customer Review: do not bother, you'll only get mad
i got the electric Power Glide, so i don't even have the troubles of a dead battery.. the thing is a piece of junk... first time review ever.. but i had to tell, this is just not a good piece of equipment..
Customer Review: Not bad for small jobs.
Bought this one for only $20 on sale at Ace Hardware with the intention it would be for quick jobs - and that is what it is good for. If you have a little bit to whack here and there, this will do the job. I get about 10 minutes of time out of a charge on the battery. This is a very light-duty weed wacker for small jobs. It works pretty well. Though I don't think I'd pay much more than $35 for it. Just my 2 cents.

Barracuda .065-Inch by 50-Foot Bulk String Trimmer Line #952701682

Barracuda/Poulan Pro .065-Inch by 50-Foot Bulk Line #952701682. Ideal for a home owner or professional. 065-inch-by-50-foot grass trimmer line provides great quality and the best brand in the industry. This Poulan Pro trimmer line is long-lasting and gets the job done.
Customer Review: product overpriced
Product very, very overpriced. For that kind of money they should have sent 500 feet. Home Depot does not carry large spools of .65 line. Pity. But it does sell 500 feet of .80 line for about $12. Their 50 foot spool of .65 sells for about $3. Next time around I will check elsewhere.

Arnold/Homelite .080 String Trimmer Head Assy #HL-080HA

Replacement spool for Homelite and John Deere curved shaft trimmers.
Customer Review: Piece of Junk
Does not work well at all - string tangles constantly around the trimmer head - not at all like the original.
Customer Review: Was exactly what I needed
I had thought about ditching my old Homelite trimmer when the string stopped feeding reliably. After installing the new trimmer head, however, I am back in business and saved myself about $150 for now.
