Absolute steal grin

Did they even cost $300 new 12-15 years ago?

There's more than one idiot born every day that's for sure.


I live a 24 Hour lifestyle, but every now and again I seem to fall asleep, well at least that's what my wife tells me.

I did point out to her when it was first listed that if she got $50 she would have to consider herself lucky. Didn't get a response.

They are still only a Briggs and I always had a feeling that they were a cheaper type Briggs made for GMC

Anything GMC is rubbish.

I must slightly beg to differ BB

My FC GMC leaf blower has always started first or second pull from cold - picked it out of the skip

A friend also has a half crank gmc trimmer - no clutch. Same engine as weedeater featherlite. He never cleaned the filter, plug or anything.

Spontaneously died 2018 after 12 ish years - put a used coil in and still goes within 2 pulls no word of a lie. bump feed was crap though

At least the handles are mounted better than a Victa.


Ahh, if only victa had kept producing the thumblatch catcher series, they would be in better shape today!

Tyler,
All the snippers I had all had problems (that is why I end up with them), motors are often fine, either the carby is the problem or the bump feed head. I have started fitting them with the Grass Gator heads and they are really good and dead simple to feed new cord, no pulling the head apart and they fit all snippers, straight shaft and bent shaft.
