The Shindaiwa HomePro F195s curved-shaft gasoline-powered trimmer is designed for homeowners, but it's far from a toy. Built with the same meticulous detail as Shindaiwa's well-respected commercial units, this model is compact and lightweight (9 pounds) and delivers pro-level power.

The durable 19.8cc two-cycle engine --packed with features such as a chrome-plated cylinder, two-ring piston and double-counterweight crankshaft --kicks in easily with a pull of the Sure Start recoil starting system. The F195s features a curved shaft, which makes it easier to reach around posts, fences or other difficult-to-access areas. It's designed with a flexible cable in the shaft, and an automatic centrifugal clutch.

The Shindaiwa HomePro F195s curved-shaft gasoline-powered trimmer is compliant with EPA Phase 2 (and available in California), and comes with a 2-year warranty and a lifetime warranty on the drive shaft and major ignition components. Shindaiwa also features a 7-day money-back guarantee.
