Shindaiwa HomePro Straight Shaft Trimmer T195s

Date Published: 1/4/07

Designed for the demanding homeowner or light-duty professional, the gas-powered HomePro Straight Shaft T195s string trimmer has nearly all the features of its commercial-level cousins, but without the hefty price tag. At just 9 pounds, the trimmer is lightweight enough to make it easy to trim for long periods, and the 19.8cc engine provides enough power to zip through tall grass or weeds with ease.

The gas-powered HomePro straight-shaft T195s string trimmer features commercial-grade craftsmanship, including a solid steel main shaft, and a Walbro rotary valve carburetor, which lets you operate the trimmer in any position without worrying about killing the engine. It features an easy-to-start recoil system, and a 13.5-ounce fuel tank.

The Shindaiwa gas-powered HomePro straight-shaft T195s string trimmer is backed by a 2-year consumer warranty as well as a 7-day no-risk guarantee, which lets you try the tool for up to a week and return it for a full refund if you're not satisfied.
