If its a troy built it is junk in my opinion.
In the past two years I have had two troy built weed eaters. The first one froze up, and I replaced it with another troy built presuming I just got a lemon. The second one is sitting on my work bench in parts while I try to get to the pull cord spool as the cord broke after the third pull. (second use).
Plus the shrub cutting attatchment we purchased for it was toast after one use thanks to poor quality bearings.
I will never waste another penny on a troy built product.
