5.0 out of 5 stars
Dare I say it? Better than Echo!,
By J. Brooks (Nampa, Idaho United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Tanaka TBC-255SFK Commercial Grade Gas-Powered Powerhead Grass Trimmer/Stick Edger/Pole Saw 3-in-1 Combo Kit (CARB Compliant) (Lawn & Patio)
I searched high and low for a combo kit (edger/string trimmer/saw) and there were really only two choices, Echo's PAS-225VP and this Tanak TBC-255SFK. After looking at the specs and using both, I am glad I went with this Tanaka.
First and foremost, the powerhead. The Echo's power plant is only 21.2cc, compared to the Tanaka's 25cc motor. To get the same amount of power from Echo you would have to upgrade to the PAS-265, which is $310 with no attachments. And it's not just the power, it's everything combined. The Tanaka is CARB compliant, Echo isn't. This Tanaka is quieter (approximately 80db with Tanaka's copolymer quiet line, compared to 90db from the Echo). The Tanaka is lighter (11.7 lbs vs. 12.4 lbs). And there is much more and It just all adds up to a better combo kit. As for each attachment, Tanaka has the leg up once again. Connecting each attachment is as simple as inserting the attachment into the powerhead and tightening a handle. The string trimmer's "No Brainer" system is just that. Push the button and insert a 12" stick of line and you're done! No winding a spool, no "bumping" to get line to come out, it just couldn't be easier. And the line itself does a better job cutting then regular string trimmer line and is MUCH quieter so quiet all you can here is the grass and weeds being destroyed and the motor, no whirling or wizzing of the string. The edger takes some getting use to (coming from someone who has never used an edger), but once you figure out the technique you wonder why you waited so long to buy one. It also works great for cutting the sod for laying brick/stones/patio blocks. And the pole saw attachment works just as you would expect. An Oregon bar and chain are included so you know quality isn't an issue and parts are readily available for replacement. The included instructions weren't all that helpful, however they really aren't needed since practically everything comes preassembled. The only things I had to do was attach the handle to the power head (three bolts and nuts), attach the string trimmer guard (two steel brackets and two screws) and that was it! I did have to remove the chain from the saw because it came installed backwards from the factory, not much of an issue. On top of all of this, Hitachi (the parent company of Tanaka) backs all of this up with a seven year consumer warranty! If you love yard work and want your yard looking professionally manicured, there is no way you can beat the quality and performance of this Tanaka kit. Pros: Made in Japan (take that China!) Quieter then most any string trimmer on the market. CARB compliant. No Brainer string head is just way too easy. Fast and easy starts. Has a Walbro carburetor! Well built, all of the plastic pieces are metal reinforced. Has many more accessories available for purchase. Most everything is module for easy replacement of parts (if/when they wear out). Cons: Instructions/manual not all that in depth.

Tanaka 3 in 1 kit,

This review is from: Tanaka TBC-255SFK Commercial Grade Gas-Powered Powerhead Grass Trimmer/Stick Edger/Pole Saw 3-in-1 Combo Kit (CARB Compliant) (Lawn & Patio)
I purchased this kit 3 months ago and it has performed as I had hoped. It starts easily, has plenty of power, and it is easy to change tools.
I researched cheaper models and it has been well worth the extra expense.

Hi All,
My Original 10 year old Tanaka TBC 250 is still going strong and all it recieved during that time was a couple of new spark plugs and washed the ORIGINAL foam air filter! I am still shocked looking back when I compare this to my other brands of small engine stuff. I purchased this new 255 3 in 1 as it easier / quicker to keep clean where you change attachments being a split boom. Unit is genuine Japanese quality, replaced No Brain head with manual 4 point Tanaka manual unwind head CH-300 - that's what all the pro's use :-) Quicker in real life and no mucking as with all the other auto units. For the domestic user - make sure you install the washers steel/fiber/bronze up the end of the split boom before you install the quick change tube fitting. Pruning saw it's great - don't forget to buy chainsaw oil (not included) Edger - Not used for me personally as I whip edges down easly Optional attachments: Hedge trimmer and cutivator are great! Hedge trimmer is a solid heavy but if kept lubricated after use - performs really well and lasts ages compared to those dinky electric units. Tanaka from my experiance are a great quality item - use Walbro carburettors. 2 Stoke mix: I run the 50:1 oil MIXED AT 35:1 (more 2 stroke oil) Engines feels / appear to run cooler and in my case lasted a very long time in peak condition! Highly recommend based my own experience of the TBC 250 as these Tankas are light for their power ratio and have saved a bucket load $ in no service costs! Cheers!
