  • I bought one of these and returned it because it ran poorly after about 10 minutes use. Have you noticed any issues with yours running lean? I really liked how easily it started, but was less than satisfied with its overall performance. I replaced it with a Stihl KM 90 R Kombi motor. I did a review of both the craftsman and the Stihl. If you are interested search Stihl Craftsman (I used craftsman universal attachments) and 79193 which is the 29cc model number I bought. I like your review.

  • @productreviewguy mine still runs great isnt used much though but it only will puff smoke if laid on its side for a bit and thank you for the info i like stihl also only got this one because i was at sear at the moment

  • i watched some of your videos the last 15min, and this is by far the most lame video all times. watch back your video's, you sound like an old guy that doesnt want to live anymore. and showing stuff in video's that doesnt interest anyone

  • @djbazzmaster wow how pathetic you have 28 vids and barely have any views at all seems like your vids dont interest many people as mine do so and some of yours are lamer than mine by far most of my vids are done by request such as this one thanks and have a good day!

see all

  • Where should i have it on when i am trimming in a cold weather?

  • @01DodgeRAM1500V8 4 cycles are not worth it on a line trimmer unless you have a Stihl 4-mix engine. Those are the only 4 cycle engines I know of that you can rev the piss out of. These trimmers can only hit about 7 grand under load and even less when your trimming. A 2 cycle on average will hit 9 grand. With line trimmers you need hi revs to cut better. These Craftsman/MTD 4 cycles lack RPM, power and torque. Try cutting some heavy brush you'll see what I'm talking about. They bog down easy.

  • @johnathonmelby 4 strokes have more torque at lower rpm unlike a 2 stroke screaming to get torque

  • @01DodgeRAM1500V8 4 strokes will never have more torque.

  • Have you used a pole saw with your 4 cycle trimmer yet? I want to buy one for mine but I don't know if it will damage the engine to run it when its straight up and down when I'm cutting over head limbs.
