Shindaiwa HomePro Straight-Shaft Trimmer 22T

Date Published: 8/5/08

Shindaiwa trimmers are known for their high-quality design and long-lasting operation, and the HomePro gas-powered straight-shaft 22T string trimmer is no exception. This model features a solid steel main shaft, which cuts down on vibration and increases durability. It also comes with a smooth-running 22.1cc high-torque engine, and the whole tool weighs in at just 10.6 pounds.

It's not the lightest gas-powered string trimmer on the market, but it's still lightweight enough to use it comfortably for an extended period of time. Much of its easy-to-manage design can be attributed to the professional-quality engineering, which packs powerful performance into a nicely compact tool. The full crankshaft engine, automatic centrifugal clutch and Walbro barrel-valve carburetor all help the engine run as efficiently as possible.

The Shindaiwa HomePro gas-powered straight-shaft 22T string trimmer features both a 2-year consumer warranty and a lifetime warranty on major ignition components and the drive shaft.



Warranty
180 day, commercial use; 2 years, residential use; lifetime, drive shaft and major ignition components
