Tools and Hardware Reviews of Factory Reconditioned Homelite ZR40502 26cc Gas-Powered MightyLite Hedge TrimmerCustomer Review: Works Great Summary: 5 Stars
I don't understand the complaints about how it broke right away . . bla. . bla. . bla. It comes with a 1 year factory warranty. Take it to a factory service center and they fix it for free. Just be sure to put gas stabilizer in the fuel and it starts right up even after sitting for over a year.
Update:
The manager of the local hardware store provided some helpful information on this subject. It seems that a number of the smaller stores have stopped selling 2-cycle tools altogether and the larger stores only handle warranty issues through the factory because of the problem with returns.
People either through ignorance of neglect often damage these items and then want their money back. The small (and many larger) places do not have the expertise to differentiate between a factory defect and user damage so they refund the money. It is only when the store attempts to return the item to the factory (who can tell the cause of the failure) and the claim is rejected so the store must absorb the cost. With items ranging in price upwards of $125.00 each it does not take many of these returns to have a real effect on the stores net cash flow.
One possible scenario goes something like this. Many users do not realize that 2-cycle engines do not have an oil sump and must get lubrication mixed in with the fuel. The new owner goes to use the device but does not have a separate container (sometimes even the oil for mixing in the gas). They often fail to read the instructions and just put the same 4-cycle gas they use in the lawn mower into the 2-cycle engine. The engine runs for a few minutes and then is destroyed. It is then they want to return the item.
The bottom line. If you buy a 2-cycle device be sure to have second can with fresh (just for the 2-cycle) gas before you try to use it. Mix the gas with the oil. Also mix in some stabilizer as it will greatly increase the life of the fuel. A half gallon will usually last the summer. Good luck.
