PROS / This weed whacker lets you add attachments for other landscaping activities, besides simply eliminating weeds.
CONS / This device tends to vibrate quite a bit during operation.
VERDICT / This does not come with a shoulder strap or anti-vibration construction, but this gas trimmer helps you whisk away annoying grass, weeds and other unwanted vegetation.
If you have plenty of lawn care chores to do, the Troy-Bilt Weed Eater TB575 Straight Shaft Gas String Trimmer can be a big help clearing away annoying weeds and grass. In addition, if you add optional attachments, you can transform this into a versatile lawn care tool that lets you trim hedges, sweep away debris and even cultivate the soil in your garden.
This weed eater has easy-to-find controls and an adjustable handle. Perhaps one of its most noteworthy features is its useful and large 17-inch cutting radius, which means you do not need to keep going back and forth over the same area to mow down weeds and tall grass. A wide cutting radius is a real timesaver.
You get a debris shield with this string trimmer that prevents any bits of vegetation from flying around and ending up on your face and clothes. You can easily extend the trimmer line simply by bumping the head on the ground to produce additional string.
Although it certainly presents advantages, there are a few items lacking in this gas weed trimmer. At 12.4 pounds, this is the second-heaviest strimmer we tested. It also takes some time to assemble once out of the box.
In addition, it is not outfitted with anti-vibration features to protect your hands, wrists and arms. When we tested it, the Troy-Bilt got the second-lowest Vibration Score. Exposure to heavy vibrations can cause fatigue and muscle strain in the short term and permanent damage if your hands experience this extensively over a long period of time.
When it comes to warranties, the Troy-Bilt TB32 EC Straight Shaft Gas String Trimmer is protected by the industry standard, which is two years for parts and labor and two years for the drive shaft.
If you need assistance, you can first check the online manual. If that does not work, you can call the manufacturer or take the weed eater to a service center. Unfortunately, this is one of two weed whackers in our product lineup that does not offer email support.
