Do Not Buy This Weedeater!

from JoeUser Forums

     Just bought this hunk of crap (Weed Eater Model RTE 115 "Twist and Edge") from Home Depot today. Got it home put it together (yes correctly) and had a sgood start on the back yard for about 5 minutes when the black plastic clip on shield just fell right off! On close inspection you can see where the motor simply got so hot that it melted the clips right off the friggin thing!

 

That black sludge is melted plastic. Taking it back later and getting a new model. This means I will have to wait to install the solar accent lights I bought for the backyard too dammit!

Save yourself a headache and don't buy this hunk of shit.

If that weedeater even saw the SCIF yard, it would spontaneously combust. We lost a riding mower, two weedeaters and a motor pool push mower to "bad gas" this past month. The riding mower had barely survived SPC Ten-Year-Old Boy's attempts to destroy the blade on that odd iron plate with a handle we have on our grounds...

edit: HW needs to write an article.

fake edit: I need to call HW.
