Other gas powered trimmers I have used were hard to control. They either are all gas running wide open or not enough gas and running too slow. That problem would make it difficult too hold the head where you want to cut. Not this one. Also, it runs well, and is easy to start. The only down side I experienced was when it's cold, you have to adjust the coke to get it to run with enough power to cut. Otherwise it bogs down. That even holds true after using it for some time, when the outside temperature is cool. Which would not be a problem except the virbration of the machine would cause the choke to back off the setting needed to make it run well. That vibration also caused the tumb screw that holds the handle to come off which I lost.

Just does not have the power that I would have expected from this product. I use them in my job daily and those all perform nicely. So I purchased this one for my own personal use and it in no ways operates as well as the ones I use at work. What is sad is this one is the exact same model as the ones I use at work.

I have owned this same model before, but purchased it new. Out of the box the refurbished 128LD unit looks new, there are a couple of blemishes on it but it is clean and when you put gas in it, it doesn't leak which I was worried about. Put gas mix in it, I do use the Husqvarna oil to keep it all stock it fired right up and everything worked fine. I would suggest after the string that it comes with has been all used up to go with a better quality string. About the only thing I did do was to tighten up the motor to bar connection as it was alittle loose but so far it is working fine. For the money it was worth it and I would recommend it to others.

I have this item a 4 because it starts super easy power to cut detachable and pretty light only thing with it is when you go to bump it for the line feed the lil pin like thing will move making the bottom half to turn so I just hold the bottom on the bump but other than that it's a pretty good trimmer.

Runs like a champ, one pull after pumping 10 times started right up ran great, there is plastic on it but most have it nowadays! sweet little weed eater might buy another who knows . I ran it for an hour with synthetic oil had no problems half throttle tearing up tall 4’ thick green grass, great product Husky did nice job refurbishing weed eater. Came with not one scratch!!!! Thinking about buying another. I have serviced weed eaters for years just about every make and model and this one runs well for refurbished product.... Quality is pretty good its basically a commercial weed eater with a few small changes like the ergonomic handle which one could get full blade kit and turn it into a commercial trimmer they all have chrome cylinder and pretty much the same engine parts just because they use a bit of plastic does not mean its not a quality trimmer!! Thats how it is today everything has it. Great product! Read full review
