This review is from: Troy-Bilt TBP3160 Commercial Grade 18-Inch 25cc 2-Cycle Gas Powered Straight Shaft String Trimmer (Lawn & Patio)

Amazon won't accept zero stars, so it got a one.

I bought this (actually delivered the same unit but as a 4-stroke...). I uploaded two user photos that show the problem, but here it is:

There is a big space between the rotating cutter head and the shaft. This fills with weeds/long grass really quickly when in use, and when it fills it stalls the clutch and quits cutting.

This requires reaching down and pulling all the weeds, etc, out of the space to use it. In my use it'd fill up about every 20 seconds, so I didn't use it long.

Oh, I can't return it, either. It's 'too dangerous' to ship back to Amazon, so buyer beware with this entire range of products.
