 McCulloch model MCT2027 grass trimmer Jun 11, 2010
By Peter Jordan
When I started to use this tool the plastic debris shield fell off, so I rechecked the User Manual and I appeared to have installed it correctly. It fell off again quite promptly, so I contacted Amazon and they sent another which was similar to the first. The help phone number in the Manual (1-800-521-8550) doesn't connect you to McCulloch, but to a different company, Dixie Sells, where I was told that McCulloch exists only as a brand name of the Modern Tool & Die Company, which has no 800 number. No one at Dixie Sells knew how to assemble the trimmer, so I was on my own. It turned out that a bent piece of wire enclosed with the tool, but not mentioned in the Manual, is what holds the debris shield onto the tool. Because of the poorly written Manual and the lack of company support, I would not recommend this product.

 well worth the money Mar 28, 2010
By Bonnerauthor
I'm replacing an expensive Japanese string trimmer that I fried by using the wrong ratio of oil/gas. Being from CA, none of the gas trimmers are eligible to be shipped to Ca so I decided to go with an electric and rent a heavy duty one for the back of the property.
No need. This trimmer used the .095 line and which is pretty durable. I whipped through some knee high grass and barely used an inch of line. Its quiet but doesn't mess around. If I had been using my old trimmer, I would have had foxtails wrapped around the head. This thing just shreds everything I put it to.
On the down side, there are a couple of complaints that come under 'cheap'. The handle has a stamped wing nut and really won't tighten well. This only becomes an issue when using as an edger as the handle wants to rotate around. I'm left handed and the edging position is really for righties.
The bump feature works fine but be careful when edging or against bricks as if the string gets sliced, you have to take the head apart and manually feed again. The mechanism comes apart and re-assembles pretty easily but it has a cheap feel.
The handle has a hook to lock the cord in place but it still can come unplugged. I was using it at the back of the property and was using 12 ga cord because of the run. It barely looped through the handle and didn't really lock in place. If I were using a conventional 16 ga cord probably not an issue but I was on 150 ft of cord so I wanted heavy gauge.
All in all, for $60 I am pleased. It certainly is a better product than the electric ones you are likely to find at the box stores. I bought it because of its ability to used the .095 string that I had a couple reels of.
 Unsatisfactory performance Jul 21, 2011
By Sam Knecht
Not a satisfactory trimmer. Whenever the string spool bumped into something, it came loose and flew a couple of feet. Also did a poor job of feeding both strings.
Poor design, poor performance. Look elsewhere for a satisfactory string trimmer.
Do Not Waste Your Time or Money Jun 25, 2011
By Charles Taylor
This is a piece of junk. The shield kept falling off until is was permanently fixed to the trimmer. The cut was uneven and the line snagged and bound up in the reel especially around a chain link fence. It was just over a year old when the gears went out and the string quit turning. Do not waste your time or money on this piece of junk. This is the last McCulloch product I will buy
