My old Craftsman 2-cycle trimmer gave up the ghost so I decided to go green with an electric. Once I got it going, the old Craftsman used to make short work of the weeds in my garden and behind my house.

The string broke about 12 times on the Toro and I had to open up the spool to fish it out. And the garden was only about 1/4 done. I finally threw it down in disgust and gave up. It may be OK for trimming the grass around the edges of your yard, but that's about it.

This review is from: Toro 51358 3.9 amp 13-Inch Electric Trim and Edge String Trimmer (Lawn & Patio)

This trimmer was purchased to replace a 1980's vintage Toro trimmer that worked great but finally wore out. While my old trimmer lasted over 20 years this product of "Value Engineering" didn't last 20 weeks. The first feature I noticed is that the adjustable handle can't really be adjusted to function as a comfortable balance point for a normal human being. The second feature of questionable worth is the large guard on this trimmer. The guard is incredibly effective. It is unlikely you will cut anything by accident or even on purpose with this guard in the way. The next feature is the auto-jam operation of the string feed that ensures the string never gets anywhere close to the outside edge of the guard. And the final, and to me most useful, feature is that while bumping the trimmer on the ground won't feed more string it will break the cheap plastic shaft between the handle and motor in half. This really is the most useful feature as now I can toss this piece of trash and buy a trimmer that actually works.

I had my Toro 13" model 51358 String trimmer less than a year. I bought it because it had what looked like the nice feature of turning the handle over and it became an edger. From the beginning, the advance-the-string by tapping it down never worked well. I would stop the trimmer, turn it over and tap the center with my hand and withdraw more string with the other hand. This worked for a while until the smooth metal grommet from where the string fed out from the housing disappeared. The string was now exposed to the sharp plastic edges of the string housing. Two feet of edging and no further before the string broke! After about 6 premature string breaks, the edger fell on the driveway (with a little help from me!!) and the handle broke off. The breaking of the handle was a good thing because the edger now fits very well in the recycle bin!
