Title: Stripped gears after 2 years
Product review: It did an OK job of trimming but I did grow tired of replacing the line. Replacing the line isn't extremely difficult but it is time consuming. I switched to an aftermarket cutting head (big mistake) which had 3 plastic blades. Even with the blades I never used it to cut anything heavy, only for very light use. After about a year with the blades the cutting head decided to quit spinning. After taking it apart the cause of the problem were 2 gears that stripped in the cutting head portion of the trimmer. I wouldn't recommend this trimmer except for extremely light use.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
