Tools and Hardware Reviews of American Gardener GS48 4-Inch 4.8-Volt Cordless Grass Shear
Customer Review: Quality review......
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a new owner of a Model GS48 four inch grass clipper. This is a superb piece of equipment that makes trimming around my three and one half acre lawn a pleasant piece of cake. It does have a serious design flaw designed into it that should be addressed however.
It was a 60 mile trip for me to buy it then two more trips to fix it. (180 miles) The pivot pin for the blades does not have adequate depth to secure the retaining pin in place securely. While I was on my maiden voyage, I stalled it accidently on a twig and it stopped cutting grass. I went to the manual and found that a list of materials does not exist in it. I finally opened it up and found the retaining ring stuck in the grease. At the time I guessed that a pivot pin was missing. I took a strong magnet and retraced my tracks. I finally found the pin and reassembled it. It worked fine again until I hit another stick and the unit failed again. This time the retaining pin was lost and I had to do the magnet thing again. Replacing the retaining ring conept did not solve the problem and I decided to purchase a beefier ring. This time I inserted the pivot pin from the inside out with thought in mind that if it came apart again, at least the pivot pin would not be lost. So far I have some stick hits but the assembly stayed together.
This design flaw is a serious quality problem and should have never happened. A simple short meeting with with the staff would have revealed the problem and the solution would have been an easy fix.
I am surprised that there is no way that a customer can contact the people who are responsible for this problem. Dealing with a service group is no insurance that the top officer of the company will receive this information. This problem is a combination Engineering, Purchasing and Quality responsibility.
