Who Makes the Craftsman String Trimmers
A mower repair guy told me that Homelite makes the two stroke motors for most of the Sears Craftsman trimmers as well as a bunch of trimmers sold at Home Depot, is that true or is it just talk?????

It all depends upon the model of the trimmer, many manufactures produce equipment for Sears. I am not sure if Homelite makes any of the current products or not. You can find out most of the time by tracking down the first three numbers of the model number, this generally will tell you who made the unit.

Most of the Craftsman trimmers that are comming into the shop have been made by American Yard Products Div. of Electrolux which makes Poulan, Husqvarna, Weedeater, etc. There is a new model that is made in China.

I don't recall seeing any craftsman trimmers that were made by homelite. In fact, I don't recall much of anything being made by homelite other than their own brand equipment.

Echo is the new toy I am buying because all the trimmers I own are old and weak, just an idea the newest trimmer I bought it was on 2002, so it has more then 50 hours of use using it every day from Tuesday to Saturday.
Some friends told me it is very strong and reliable, and that has 2 piston rings instead of one..................
