pro? September 5, 2010

Engine runs and starts well. Unit is very heavy. It is internally clutched and you have to run full throttle at times just to get it to work. I like the fact you can use different tools with it. I use the hedge trimmer, but I have to work out and stretch first because of the weight of the trimmer. I also use the edger and must run full throttle just to get through the grass. Be sure to wear ear protection too, it is quite noisy.

This is one mean trimmer....with several flaws. August 17, 2010
Frenchy in TN (Clarksville, TN)
With a 33cc engine, this trimmer is probably one of the most powerful 2 stroke out there. I bought it because I needed a strong trimmer to go with my edger attachment (I had read previously that smaller engines would jam with this attachment because they didn't have enough kick). So the first time I used it, I put it to the test: my yard was way overgrown and between the trimming and edging, I had the PP133 working at full throttle for a good two hours...and it delivered. At 12,000 RPM, this is one mean trimmer! Used with an edger attachment, it kicks dirt like nobody's business! So much in fact that after edging my drive way and sidewalk, my legs were covered in blood (tip to myself: wear a pant, or some sort of protection next time). What a difference from my previous 20 cc Weedeater! With that being said, this trimmer has plenty of flaws; so on to the pros and cons:
PROS:
*This trimmer has some serious power
*Easy start
*`kill' button on the handle for quick and easy shut off
*Attachments capable (Poulan or other)
*Comes with a can of oil and spare strings
*Low price

CONS:
*It goes thru a lot of the precut .115 strings (I've read the reviews suggesting the .130 line; I'll try that).
*Precut strings are hard to find
*Vibrate quite a bit
*Heavy trimmer
*Weird head system (no spool, you have to unclip a little plastic cover, remove the old string and feed the new one thru three holes while making sure that you have the same length on each side). It's a simple process, but it gets old quickly as you have to replace the string quite often (maybe the .130 string will help)
* The plastic guard on the trimmer is close to useless if you're right handed, and it's not adjustable either. Because this trimmer spins counterclockwise, everything is kicked right at you and you get hit in the legs and face a lot.
*Gas thirsty!

Despite all the flaws, I give it three stars because it packs a good punch which is what I need. With a stronger string, this could be a 4 stars. With a stronger string and a better head system, it would be a 5. I would recommend it to whoever has a need for a powerful trimmer (make sure you wear safety glasses and pants). For light applications look somewhere else as this would be too much trimmer.

My vote is against this string trimmer August 3, 2010
Arthur Hebert
I found this to be inferior to my stihl fs 36. Vibrations are much worse. Cutting is worse. I don't like this line method as much. I think the spool is better. I am going to keep it. I will use it for something that needs a motor.

Lots of power! great for heavier work. July 12, 2010

I've got 2 acres and some thick brush to cut through, this thing tore into it very handily. I followed the instructions for starting it the first time and it roared right to life after 6 pulls. Most of the time I only have the gas pulled about 1/2 way with no problems. When there is a particularly weedy patch (thick weeds 1/4 in thick or more) I kick it up to full throttle and it takes care of everything!

Its been mentioned this thing vibrates and at full throttle it does - not horribly, but noticeable. Thats the only thing wrong I've seen with it, but for this kind of power I am not surprised. My suggestion is wear gloves and it's fine.

Still warming up to the string replacement - it may be a problem around the driveway and the house, but I only went through 2 strings.

I'll update as time goes on, but I am happy with my purchase!

vibration really bad June 28, 2010
Anthony W. Hull (Jackson, MI USA)
The power of this wed eater is really good. It can cut through most anything with in reason. The only draw back is the vibration it gives out. This is not an easy machine for the weak to use. You have to be strong to be able to handle the vibration. I will not be returning it though.
