195013, WE13538LT specifications

The Weed Eater WE13538LT is a standout product in the landscaping and gardening industry, specifically designed for homeowners looking to maintain their lawns and gardens with ease and efficiency. This versatile string trimmer boasts a lightweight design coupled with powerful performance, making it an essential tool for any outdoor enthusiast.

One of the key features of the WE13538LT is its 38cc engine, which delivers ample power for trimming, edging, and clearing grass and weeds. This robust engine ensures that users can tackle tougher jobs without worrying about overheating or sacrificing performance. The 2-cycle gas-powered engine is designed for reliable operation, providing the perfect balance of power and weight. Its fuel-efficient design means that users can work longer without frequent refueling, making it ideal for large areas.

The trimmer's 17-inch cutting width is another notable feature, allowing for a wider swath with each pass. This reduces the amount of time spent trimming, making the overall gardening experience more efficient. The innovative bump head design makes it easy to reload the line, simply tapping the head on the ground automatically feeds more line to ensure uninterrupted trimming.

The WE13538LT is equipped with an ergonomic handle that enhances comfort during use. The adjustable handle allows users to customize their grip for optimal control and reduced fatigue, which is particularly important during extended periods of use. The lightweight design further contributes to user comfort, allowing for easy maneuverability without straining the arms or back.

Another significant feature is the inclusion of a straight shaft. This design not only provides improved reach, allowing users to access hard-to-reach areas but also enhances the tool's balance. The straight shaft is particularly advantageous when trimming along fences, walls, or flower beds, as it allows for precise cutting.

Safety is also a priority with the Weed Eater WE13538LT. It includes features like a protective shield that helps prevent debris from flying toward the operator, ensuring a safer working environment. Furthermore, the tool’s design incorporates low vibration technology, which minimizes user fatigue and enhances comfort during use.

In summary, the Weed Eater WE13538LT is a powerful and versatile string trimmer designed to meet the needs of homeowners. With its efficient 38cc engine, wide cutting width, ergonomic design, and safety features, it is an excellent choice for those looking to maintain a beautiful and pristine landscape effortlessly.
