McLane Gas Edger/Trimmer (801-3.5RP-CA) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have had my McLane edger since 1974. The new ones are built virtually the same as mine with the exception of different wheels. I have had no problems with mine at all. If you take care of things, they will take care of you. I have used this edger just about every Saturday since 1974 and it performs great. I have seen no engineering problems like the previous poster said. Maybe his was assembled incorrectly. Very dependable edger and it will probably last me the rest of my life.

Swisher Shindaiwa E4-S3000 E4 24-1/2cc 4-Stroke Engine Commercial Grade String Trimmer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I previously owned a professional-model Shindaiwa trimmer, which was great and nearly indestructible. This one by Swisher has an advanced type of Shindaiwa engine, is lighter weight, and due to its higher RPM cuts unbelievably well. Vines, twigs on tree branches, tall weeds, all are practically vaporized. The self-feeding spool works as advertised-- you can restring it in 30 seconds, without tools-- once you know how it works and what to expect. The manual does a very poor job of explaining how the spool works. It only provides an illustration with arrows and symbols, and no text explaining how you're supposed to thread the replacement line. I did it wrong the first time, then had to use up the line by trimming, with only one feed instead of two, because I couldn't figure out how to remove the line once installed. Now I know what to expect and can load new line in no time.
