These are super great. I leave mine out all winter, covered in snow and ice, I know I shouldn't but once summer comes along, starts right up every time and does a job of 10 Hooman's! These are just little grey things that never die hehe. I have had a new 2023 MTD and after a winter it had all kinds of issues starting up. Also had a kohler and after 2 years it died on me and needed carb cleaning, filter, oil. I have had this one for 3 years now and honestly never changed oil, filter or carb cleaned it. It just runs hehe. It's amazing how these are so cheap.

I actually own a Stihl FS 38, which I got used. My two complaints is it is much harder to start than my Craftsman trimmer and it would be great IF the guard were longer, so there would be more string hanging out. As far as vibration the Stihl vibrants much less than my Craftsman and actually feels lighter. Thank you for your service to your country and I like your "Cross" tat . "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."

Yo idiots u can go in reverse and ut will cut .oush the yellow triangle button. U guys neeed to go back and drink your beer

Since day one Starting issues Don't buy one

Looks exactly like the Troy Bilt TB30R.

Exellent hope they have a black friday sale as none for labor day. Sad. Needs mulch kit.

What did you do to the wiring?

pronounced sh-til

Put a heavier line on

Worked well for me but stopped turning on. Switch or something was broken, battery was fine. Not mentioned anymore on craftsman site. Have to toss it and nothing else uses the same battery anymore.

I just bought it and used it yesterday. The grass in my yard was 30 plus inches high in many places because we just moved in, but we let it grow out of control. This mower chewed it up like Marine drill instructor chews a recruit's butt. One tough machine. However, this man said he paid $148 for it, but it's been a while I guess. it costs about $250 at Walmart now, but well worth the price. I bought it because an acquaintance at church recommended that we only buy a mower with a Briggs and Stratton engine, and it lived up to its billing.

Thanks for the review. The problem I have with GAS products is they can be so damn hard to start. There have been times I have pulled the cord 50 times and just quit. The electrics are wimpy, yes, but they start with the pull of a trigger.

Excellent demo. Thanks so much for your detailed video 😊

I know a guy who didnt change the oil for 5 years on this exact mower. Used it to mulch small brush and cut the lawn. Starts first pull every dang time. That guy is me

Not actually a craftsman, Troybuilt is the exact same mower.

By 2024 price has a least doubled.

Here in southern Europe we read it as "shtil"

Hey bro. Have to ask...are u wearing mascara? Lol and blush? 😁

Lock it up folks 😢

Houston didn’t listen did they Foolish people depend on system 😢

Bag ripped the first time I used it. Has been sitting in a storage shed for 2-3 years. 😢

I just got 2 of these not running for free, and I got them both running, I live stihl so I was stoked when someone offered them to me

I always catch em on white senkos, wacky rigged

This will be my first band new weed trimmer I usually get from a pawn shop

If you use a JDM free rig bait, they have flat water catching shapes, they flutter and seperate more on the fall

I'm having trouble my handle the lever. We suppose to put down before you pull start Was not connected do you have 📸 pic I could see a how it's supposed to be

I’m looking for an affordable electric blower vac, so I’m looking to buying this one later this fall, I got a ton of leaves in the fall especially in my big back lawn and back patio walkway towards my basement door, raking is a pain, so I’m hoping this blower will get the job done, thx man for the demo, appreciate it.

Nice review, but despise the term "Weedeater". Stihl sells weed-grass trimmers. Weedeater is a brand name.

What two prong electric cord did you use? Please share that info. Thanks.

Can we get a gas/oil mix video as well as how to clean the carb

Thanks for your demonstration and review. It was because you're military that convinced me to finally get gas. If we can't trust our servicemen/women, there's no one left to trust. Dragging a chord around a 1.25-acre property sucks... especially around the pool and the chord get into the water.

I have one of these. The metal piece that attaches the blade to the shaft continually breaks. The metal used is junk. Do not buy this mower!

They are 250 now

How did you calibrate the flux capacitor on that bad boy?

This was a very good review. Thank U.

Thank you for the nice video. I only have a couple big bushes in front of my house and I'm on a fixed income, so I can't warrant a high dollar trimmer. Besides, I will probably won't need it but 2 or 3 times a year. I think you have convinced me to go with this one.

Appreciate the down to earth review. Will have to watch for problems with wet grass . Just got a new M70 craftsman . Looks identical to the 100.

Good video , but I just bought that model for my dad and got it home Sunday. Put gas in it , checked oil looked fine and it wouldn’t start . Wouldn’t even putter. Anyone got tips?

Goin fishing with my granddaddy. Thanks for the video . Gonna go find some clothes that breathe !

I’ve had mine since I bought it brand new in 2018. First year it ran good but I’ve had nothing but problems since 2019. 🗑️

Thanks for the explanation… I was able to figure it out

Now $247 plus tax 5-11-24

What about the knocker rig it as well does the same in my opinion.

As long as you are prepped no reason you can't use the boat ramp to launch.

the freken thing is 1900 now sob

Why skip the part how you charge it 🤔 ⁉️

Hey thanks for the ideas as we are really in the same boat, or should I say kayak...

My dad, who came to America in 1966 from Germany, always called it "steel"

I use a FS55 and also a BG86 blower, love using both of them. I also have an old BG75 blower circa 1999 or 2000. It's always run on ethanol free/sthil oil at 50:1, and has had a merciless hard life. Even in 2024, it's a 1-2 pull start machine. It's had normal routine servicing, but that's it, no major work. Love Sthil.

I've had one now for 3 years. I only mow about .35 acre so it's perfect! No issues so far, just changed the oil and filter in it for this season. Tip: Rather than using the $9 Briggs filter, go buy the Fram 3416 which fits perfectly it's just a bit bigger and almost half the price!
