Title: EZ Link failed in middle of first use!!!
Review: I bought this 4-cycle trimmer and the troy-built edger together. I first hooked up the trimmer and did about 5 minutes of minor maintenance in the front yard, then broke out the edger. I've got a samll 70' lot in Florida with a single sidewalk out front and a short driveway up to the house, that was slightly overgrown with st. augustine's grass. I got 3/4 of the way through edging and suddenly lost power to the edger. I tried the trimmer and it barely had enough torque to rotate the trimmer head--and a couple blades of grass were enough to stop it in its tracks. Disconnecting the ez-link, i discovered that the drive mechanism inside was now coated with shaved metal everywhere--the ez-link connection had been totally stripped and both tools are now a worthless hunk of junk.I previously owned a troy-built trimmer that only lasted 5 trims before the ez-start pulley disintegrated.Now I've got an ez-choice: find another brand.
Is the review positive or negative?
