We have been very lucky recently and have managed to score a brand spanking new 2 stroke line trimmer for a dirt cheap price. Whilst I am not capable of quoting the price, or where from, suffice to say it is a fully legitimate deal. The line trimmer is a Homelite Mighty Lite. The details are:
- Engine Size – 25cc
- Starting Technology – ZipStart
- Cutting Head – E-Z Line Tap Advance
- Cutting Swath – 17-inch
- Dual Line – Yes
- Fuel Capacity – 473 ml
- Handle – Loop
- Line Diameter – 2mm
- Primer Bulb – Yes
- Shaft Type – Curved
- Weight – 9.2 pounds
Technically it is second hand as a customer purchased the product and then simply could not follow the instructions to start the trimmer. The instructions are available here from the Homelite website. As you can see the start procedure is incredibly easy. The supplier swapped it out for another brand and model simply for the good faith earned with the client. The supplier then verified that it started and had absolutely no fault. We have thus been extremely fortunate to benefit from the previous owners inability to follow instruction. I have also managed to start this device and am looking forward to using it on the next dry day to clean up the edges.
Addendum
Well today it is a fine day and I decided to crank the Homelite Mighty Lite up. It started effortlessly again so I really fail to understand how stupid the original owner must be. Anyways I managed to do a few edges quite quickly before trashing the line totally. Given its my first effort using such a power tool I was quite impressed with my efforts.
After replacing the line I flooded the engine … doh! So now I am giving it a break to have another go a bit later.
[...] them. I can see that it is, and will continue to be, a valuable garden tool. As valuable as the Homelite Mighty Lite Line Trimmer. I would recommend this product to anyone looking for a home mulching solution. It will do most [...]
the details given quite look like the Mighty Lite Line Trimmer as said but there are other tools from HomeLite which have the same configuration as given on the top.
Some people just cannot get on with a 2 stroke engine no matter how much you help them but sounds like youve got a great deal because of this. they are great easily maintained engines if you know what you are doing with them
Kinda funny to hear about a cheaply priced tool because of a user error. Looks like you got a great deal and that is going to be an excellent tool.
ha ha his loss. Done well good to hear you are enjoying you new linetrimmer. I am upset with mine I think its just getting old. Time to get a new one.
