Everything works great except for the handle will not tighten up. Going to have to get a new one hopes it’s covered by the warranty.

This is a replacement for the previous Toro I had that lasted 8 years. I use my string trimmer hard and this model held up great for me. I only had to replace the air filer 1 time. I use my trimer to mow a large bank which takes about 3 hours. It handles the grass even when it is 12 ” tall. Great string trimmer. I would definitely buy this trimmer again.

The box containing the trimmer had been opened and the trimmer spool was a mess of string. Frankly, the trimmer is harder to start than the previous Toro trimmer that I purchased at Home Depot 10-12 years ago, but finally wore out. But I like the power of the trimmer, though it inexplicably quits running on occasion. We’ll see!

I puchcased Toro weed eater no. 51978 about a month ago. It starts and does the job. The question will be ” will it last for 4 years as the warranty?

This weed eater does an amazing job!! Keep in mind it is a bit heavy.. I ordered a bungee strap to hopefully help with that.. Overall, this trimmer is a great tool to have!!
