True for almost every deal everywhere ever, these guys are just good enough to put the info up front
bent shaft, no good, shell out a few more shekels and get a straight shaft, professionals will only use straight shaft. more reliable, better for your back, more power, more accuracy.
yep, got to always think about the shaft.
It’s a given
I have a bent shaft and it works great. The missus seems happy enough with the outcome.
Happy wife = Happy life
bent shaft, no good
that's why it's discounted…
I prefer a bent shaft, maybe because I'm taller, it seems easier to angle without leaning forward while cutting the grass.
depends i guess, you may get away with it for home use but if it's a complicated lawn such as on a slope or hill, around trees or other obstacles, it's hard to brush cut level with a bent shaft. also it's easier to point straight down doing edges with a straight shaft obviously and straight shafts are less mechanically complicated than bent shafts so less likely to break down. of course there will be a few people that like bent shafts but commonly if we are tackling many types of lawns we want a straight shaft. this is just from someone who has worked in the trade a lot but if you can get away with it on your lawn and you like it no problems.
I have a bent shaft Makita for the past 8 years. Been working fine since. Only changed spark plug now n then.
changed a spark plug….. WELL LOOK HERE AT MR TECHO AND HIS MAINTANENCE.
Bent or straight. It depends on one's preference but in the end, both shafts does the job. Much like purified or tap water or, Ford or Holden, etc.
I had one of these found it too heavy..but it was a good device until it snapped the drive shaft.
dealbreaker.
