"Line trimmer" AKA: whipper-snipper, weed-eater, brush-cutter, lawn edger, weed trimmer, grass edger…

Stumbled upon this yesterday at Rocklea QLD Bunnings - can't see it in their current catalogue. They had lots of them in an aisle-end display. Described to me as a Bunnings "special purchase" - usually they list at $149 (!!??)

Seems rare to find a petrol line-trimmer for under $100.

I bought one because of (a) price, (b) 2yr warranty (for home-use!!), (c) only need it for light around home use, and (d) I'm not convinced that the quality of the $220 models is really that much better.

Specs:

28cc Yard Hawk
Yard Hawk with 28cc XTR full crank motor, SUPER START, curved shaft with UNIVERSAL QUICK CHANGE shaft coupling , SAFEDRIVE clutch, FAST-START primer, EASY-LOAD twin line head and auxiliary handle.

Exclusive to Bunnings
Model: AT33552
Engine: 28cc
Cutting Width: 43cm
Cutting Line: 2.0mm
Shaft Type: Curved
Fuel Oil Ratio: 25:1
Weight: 5.2kg
Fuel Tank Capacity: 700ml
Comes with Auxiliary Handle & Shoulder Strap
Takes Universal Quick Change attachments

Stratco current catalogue has a 25cc Talon model at $129. Also it looks like BigW sell something very similar from Talon with the AEA102 edging attachment included - but don't know their price. Waiting to hear back from Bunnings on cost of buying this attachment from them separately. I haven't unpacked mine yet and have the receipt - so look forward to your comments.

    You can also get them from here:

    I bought the Talon Landscaper Pro Series 30cc Petrol Line Trimmer, even though the postage to WA was a killer it was still a good deal at the time.

    I've had it about 3mths and used it 1/2 a dozen times. First use was hell frustrating as it kept cutting out, but then realised the fuel I was using had gone bad and some fresh fuel/oil worked a treat (but old fuel worked OK in lawnmower - go figure).

    I saw these at Bunnings yesterday and it looks almost identical to the Landscaper Pro. The advantage of Bunning's is their easy warranty/

      Yes I saw these "Channeladvisor" ones via http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/22622 However clicking through on the ones that are listed there as cheaper shows that they are sold out. So this Bunnings offer actually wins on price as well as ease of warranty.

    hmm looks good, but i want a good deal on a lawn mower..

    After an year the starter unit failed and I have to buy a complete starter unit (more than 1/3rd of the purchase price) and am still waiting for three months for the part. System says back order.I am planning to buy a Stihl even though it is expensive.

      so what happened to the 24mnth warranty? Wouldn't honour it?
