Background and Identification
This Craftsman trimmer is a powerful lawn tool to anyone’s collection. It is a 25cc 2-cycle engine, with a 17” swath. It has a curved shaft. As a part of the 2017 Craftsman Weedwacker® product line, fully assembled, it is 9.5 lbs and can hold 23oz of gasoline. Now discontinued, the intended user group is for personal, home use, not professional. Moderately priced, when it was on the market, it sold for $125.00-$150.00 US dollars. The model number of the device can often be found on the side or bottom of the trimmer’s motor casing. Reviews on the Craftsman website suggest there may be frequent issues when restringing the trimmer’s line.
