The Craftsman 358.351080 is a versatile and reliable gas-powered string trimmer designed for both residential and light commercial use. This trimmer is particularly beloved for its robust performance and user-friendly features, making it an essential tool for maintaining a well-kept lawn or garden.

One of the standout characteristics of the Craftsman 358.351080 is its powerful 32cc, 2-cycle engine. This engine provides ample power to tackle tough weeds, thick grass, and even small brush. Despite its strength, the engine is designed to be fuel-efficient, which translates to longer operating times and fewer fuel refills. The use of a 2-cycle engine means that users will need to mix oil with the gasoline, but this also provides a lightweight and compact design that makes handling easier.

A key feature of the Craftsman 358.351080 is its easy-to-use starting system. This trimmer incorporates an ergonomically designed starting mechanism that aids in quick and effortless ignition, reducing the frustration often associated with starting gas-powered tools. The inclusion of an automatic choke system further enhances this ease of use, ensuring that the engine runs smoothly from the first pull.

The Craftsman 358.351080 also boasts a generous cutting swath of 17 inches. This large cutting diameter allows for efficient trimming, significantly reducing the time it takes to complete lawn maintenance tasks. Additionally, the trimmer is equipped with a dual line bump head which allows for easy line advancement; users can simply tap the head on the ground to release more cutting line when needed.

Comfort is another important aspect of the Craftsman 358.351080. The trimmer features a comfortable, adjustable handle that can be tailored to suit the user’s height and grip preferences. This not only ensures better control while trimming but also helps reduce fatigue during prolonged use. Furthermore, the lightweight design of the trimmer allows for easy maneuverability, making it suitable for various garden types and terrains.

Safety features are also integrated into the design of the Craftsman 358.351080, with protective equipment and safety switches to prevent accidental starts. This commitment to user safety makes it an excellent choice for inexperienced users or those looking to operate the trimmer for extended periods.

In summary, the Craftsman 358.351080 string trimmer is a powerful, efficient, and user-friendly tool. With its impressive engine performance, generous cutting swath, and focus on user comfort and safety, it is well-suited for a variety of landscaping tasks.
