Homelite Products

I too was having some of the problems, but overall they were corrected. The chainsaw works super (went through hurricanes Rita and Ike), but it had a tendency to leak some bar oil. The weed eater has always turned clockwise and it must be started exactly like Homelite says to do so but when you take a break, it will have a tendency to not want to start. The leaf blower does fine and personally I think it has a lot to do with the type of sparkplugs that were installed at the factory. After changing plugs, they all worked just fine. All of them when time to be replaced will be replaced with a more "commercial" type product like Stihl comparable. Oh well, good luck to all of you.

I too suffer from the Homelite 26cc string trimmer maladies. After one season of OK use (the string advance mechanism never did function, and since I bought online from Amazon did not bother returning), the following season it soon became hard-to-start and would only run (barely) on half choke. Not a good product at all as I have had good luck with WeedEater and Craftsman trimmers in the past.

I bought a Homelite Mightylite UT21947 a few years ago from Home Depot that would not keep running and ran counterclockwise throwing debris at me. I took it back and was given a new one. I have had the same problems with the new one. It only runs for a few minutes, shuts off then won't start again until hours later. It also runs counterclockwise with the debris hitting me. It is out of warranty.

** products that break right away and are dangerous to user. I bought a Homelite (gasoline) Weed Trimmer recently that lasted 4 uses before the engine puller detached. When it was working, it shot out rocks and debris at me (the user) because the trimmer head ran in the wrong direction. I will never buy another Homelite product as long as I live. Thank you for your time.

I really wish I had found this website before I purchased the Homelite Mightylite 26cs lawn trimmer. I bought it for my daughter at Home Depot about one year ago. It is very difficult to start, and will not run in the "Run" position. You have to find a spot between "Half Choke" and "Run" to keep it running. After a few minutes of running, it stops running, and is difficult to restart. My daughter never uses it, because of these problems.

It has been used by me, maybe ten times in the past year. I now find that the in-tank fuel filter has broken away from the fuel line. I have owned my Weed Eater brand trimmer for about ten years, and it has always started on the first or second pull. It also runs the entire time while trimming my lawn. I am an old guy and remember when the name Homelite meant quality and dependablility. I will never again purchase a Homelite product of any kind. Good luck to you, if you do.

Curved shaft gas trimmer failed to start after four uses. I took it to an authorized service center who charged more to repair than the trimmer was worth new and said it was refused under warranty. I also had problem right out of box with electric trimmer, spool kept feeding needlessly. Same scenario at authorized service center. Live and learn. I will never buy another Homelite product, and will recommend the same at every opportunity I get.

My vac attack self destructed while in use. The shaft that activates the butterfly in the carburetor broke where the flap attaches to the shaft with a screw. The screw broke and part of it, and/or the flap was ingested into the engine resulting in an abrupt stop and crunching sounds. This unit has never been disassembled, so the screw was over tightened or the shaft is not large enough to prevent breaking.

I bought a 14 inch Homelite 3514c, on 11/4/11. When pulling the start cord, it either comes out about 2" or jerks back in ripping it out of your hand. Can`t get it started now. This saw is going to hurt someone & its not going to be me as I`m going to return it to Home Depot. As far as I`m concerned its pure plastic junk.

This is the 2nd Homelite 16-inch gas chainsaw that I have bought in the past 3 years. It's pure plastic junk! The chain gives even when locked, and the centrifugal clutch has a problem. As soon as you pull the cord, the chain moves...cripes... It's dangerous and poorly designed. Do not buy this. Buy a Stihl or Husqvarna instead. It's a bit more money, but it's cheaper and safer in the long run.

Homelite 26cs weed eater bought at Home Depot is a terrible product. With all the similar complaints, I can't believe they stay in business. The product would not start after using it 3 times. What can I do? Should I take it back to the store? Don't think I have the receipt. I wish someone would sue Homelite and put them out of business.

I purchased a Homelite weed eater from Home Depot. When I used it for the first time, I found my legs being eaten alive by debris being thrown back at me from the weed eater. When I checked to see what was going on, I found the string head was running counter clockwise. It should be clockwise so everything is thrown away from you. So, I took it back to Home Depot thinking it was a mistake from the factory and exchanged it for another one. Believe it or not this one was doing the same thing. So, I also returned it and purchased another brand. This is one of the most dangerous design changes I have ever seen. It is only a matter of time before someone is seriously injured or loose an eye or something. I was fortunate to only get some cuts and bruises on my legs. The only good thing is that Home Depot was very understanding and also logged my complaint.

It must be noted that the Homelite brand being sold today, bears no relationship to the fine quality Homelite products that were manufactured by Homelite, Division of Textron in Gastonia and Greer. Homelite was sold by Textron around 1990 to John Deere. Deere kept if for some time, but apparently sold it also. The old, fine quality Homelite products are gone and bear little kinship to the current ones.

Last year, I bought a new Homelite chainsaw (ZA10540/14) and had trouble starting it when it was new. At times, I did manage to get it started. But this year, it will not start. I cranked 50 times, pushed this, pulled that--I tried everything but it will not start. The fuel is properly mixed but it will not start. It's wood cutting season now and it will not start.

I brought to the attention of Homelite that the gas lines on their Vac Attack II leaf blower (Model: UT08544) must be defective. Both lines that run from the carburetor and push bulb lead into the tank and at least one has a filter on it. When the lines deteriorated, the gas splashed out of the tank and got all over me and the blower. Fortunately, there was no fire. I simply wanted the lines replaced with better material and would expect the company to take this situation more seriously because I felt that they did not!

This situation could have been very serious. The gas that poured from the tank after the lines deteriorated caused me to drop and run. I am simply trying to save someone from a serious accident. You would think the company would as well.

I assume the asterisk means I have to give them at least one star. What a joke. And look at all the complaints. WOW! Surprised they still sell any products, Maybe Stihl is the way to go.

I found the carb kit isn't available. A new carb, luckily, is only $16 online but not through Homelite. The second problem is the junk spark plug is no longer available and the coil doesn't put out enough spark to ignite the gas. I put my finger on the spark plug and pull the cord and could barely feel the spark, Normally, my hair would raise.

I guess what I found on this website is that Homelite needs a class action lawsuit. We won't get anything because the lawyers will get it all but at least Homelite will have to pay MILLIONS. Keep my information for the lawsuit.

I got a Homelite Vac Attack II leaf blower. From the day I removed it from the box, it was hard to start and harder to keep running, even after it has warmed up. After reading other identical complaints here, I've decided to scrap it for another manufacturer. I only post this as a warning to other consumers.

On 2-10-2011, while using the electric blower cleaning the garage, the bottom shield that protects the impeller cracked due to being brittle plastic and grabbed my middle finger in the blade. It caused my finger tip to be severely cut and bruised, bleeding profusely. I missed two days of work and had to deal with severe pain for two weeks. My job requires me to use my hands as an engineer at a hospital but I had to perform light duty work instead. This has caused trauma to my daughters who witnessed it.

How to start the Homelite Might 26SS: Go to the store. Buy a different brand. Throw away the Homelite. Start the other weed-eater. Problem is solved.

Here are issues: Battery - After 3 months, the battery showed charged but only lasted 15 minutes of mow time. Tried charging battery all night and still would not hold a charge long enough to mow my small yard. I now use an inexpensive old-school push mower. The cheap plastic parts, the back flap is missing a big piece, the side cover is cracked (and I never even used that side discharge), and despite being kept in a dry shed, the bolts on the battery cover are completely rusted. In addition, the mower cut off several times while mowing my St. Augustine grass even though I had it set on high cut level and the grass (which was completely dry) was not very tall or thick. I am very disappointed with this product and I would not recommend it to others.

I purchased the Homelite Mighty Might 26CS model UT21506 in 06/2009. It was repaired under the warranty 3 times for a non-retracking starter cord. The last repair was in 03/2010. Now the unit has failed with the same problem for the fourth time. A very troubled unit with about 25+/- uses. I contacted Homelite through their website via email and asked for a factory paid repair or replacement.

I received this reply:"No, once the warranty expires, repairs are at the owners discretion, and there is no option for replacement of a product after its warranty has expired. The warranty coverage period is for a period of time, not an amount of usage, and is for repairs only, based on the purchase date receipt and the warranty statement (Please read) provided in the manual for the specific product."

The initial cost was $69. I have to pay out of my pocket for repair of approx $65 or purchase new unit after limited usage. I found numerous similar complaints on the web about this particular failure.

My 2 cycle rototiller was great for the first 5 min. then tines would not grab and slip as soon as it hit the ground. I am very unhappy with product. I could not find any info on fixing problem. So I took it apart. I thought it was clutch problem wrong. Going further, I found the ring gear slipping on shaft. With a little weld on ring to shaft and no putting the washer on one side and reassembling, it worked great. Don't you try these products in the field. Reading some of the comments there was none. This product could have been a big money maker with such a simple fix. If you need a product tester and trouble shooter or to tweek your products get with me thanks for your time.

About a year and one half ago, I purchased a Homelite Mightylite 26cc edger from Home Depot which started acting up within the first year of use. I made the mistake of not returning it sooner. It has a 2-year warranty which of course doesn't cover the type of issues I've encountered. This item will only run if it's on half to full choke. It bogs down when the choke is moved to the run position. Since I've used it only a few times to edge the lawn, the fact that it will not run correctly with the low amount of usage hours really reflects poorly on this product and this company. This item is an expand it' item which prompted me to buy a trimmer and prune attachment as well. Both of which cannot be used without an operating powerhead.

If I could give 0 stars for this trimmer, I would! I would not recommend it to anyone! Most of the problems have been posted. But I will reinforce them by reiterating the following: First, it's unbelievably hard to start when cold (and I don't mean cold weather!). Second, it will run only at certain angles, which is pretty bad for a trimmer. Thirdly, it stopped feeding string when only half used. Next, the manual has wrong info for string replacement.

I had to figure it out myself. Also, upon removing spool's "cap/retainer", I discovered the bolt holding the head to the cable connector had been installed crooked and stripped the threads of the connector. I had to tap a new hole and use a different bolt. And the trigger "control" is extremely sensitive and it's difficult to modulate the speed. Homelite's site should be an embarrassment to a once-proud company. I purchased this in July of 2009 and it is the worst tool I have ever bought!

I owned a Homelite String Trimmer for years and it served me well but, like all machines, it finally got tired and I junked it. I purchased a replacement two years ago, Model: Mightylite 26SS UT21546, and it has nothing but problems. It starts hard, it won't stay running and can't be adjusted. I strongly suggest that anyone considering a Homelite product reconsider their purchase and save yourself a lot of aggravation, it's obvious that this company now makes junk.

I purchased a Weed Wacker [Mightylite 26cc mo#ut21506 which wouldn't stay running without choke! was unable to adjust the carburetor screws because they required a special tool. I was told that they couldn't sell tools to the public because it was against EPA rules! This forces me to trash this or send to a repair center. I have not seen this on other products!

I bought a Homelite Electric Lawnmower at Home Depot about two years ago. Tonight when I was mowing the lawn, it just stopped. I checked the cords and the plug and they are both working. Is two years a normal life for an electric lawnmower? I am a widow and this seems rather expensive to me. The lawnmower has been great up until now and I really like how it has worked. Is there something else I should check? Please let me know. Thanks.

I own and operate a Homelite chainsaw, a straight shaft string trimmer, a curved shaft string trimmer, and a new Homelite blower. I have never used any brand other than Homelite. I fell that the new blower is so loud and so hard to handle that I am looking for a used Homelite model like the one I had to replace. The old model was easy to start, quiet and handled very nicely. I will not use the new blower. You can be certain that the next item I have to replace will be selected from all name brands rather than a blind Homelite selection as in the past. No real problem. I just think your new blower needs redesigning.

We bought 2 of your homolite weedeaters within the last 1.5 year. The pullcord won`t retrack back, This trimmer has only been used 10 times max. I even got the 9.$ extended waurenty with it. Maybe someone can help or find a solution to this nightmare. The other trimmer the choke switch brook, and I`m not sure if this can be fixed very easily due to quality of the button

Homelite trimmer (weed wacker) product performs poorly--when I use the homelite web site, I can not get any service info such as manuals, and the "contact us" link does not work. very frustrating to use and no support to fix it

Today I smashed my 26SS Homelite weed whacker against my maple tree. I became so enraged that this tool would not stay running for more than a minute. I tried adjustments, etc. It was only a year old and I had the same problem last year. Was worth the $69 to destroy this and throw it in the trash. No more Homelite products for me. My new Craftsman electric works fine.

I purchased a Home Lite Trimmer UT20024A from Home Depot in 2007. It always had trouble starting. The next year, the pull cord would not engage. I took it in for service under warranty and it was fixed. It still pulled too hard. Same thing again last week. Home Lite website told me where to get parts and the schematic. I didn't think I would have to be in a repair service with an item barely 3 years old and with very limited use. I had an IDC trimmer for 18 years and no problem. Their website has been responsive, but there must be a design flaw for it not to work twice in 2 plus years and have the same problem.

I purchased a Homelight electric trimmer from my local Home Depot less than a year ago. I have probably used it maybe 4-5 times. Today it displayed some peculiar behaviors. Without warning, the rpms dramatically reduced and suddenly smoke billowed from the spool assembly accompanied by the smell of burning wires. This is very frustrating, especially after I visited a complaint site and read that the same issue has happened multiple times with the same product. Homelight should be held accountable for the short comings of this, and all undesirable events associated with their product line. But then again, that is stating the obvious. I now have to look into purchasing another trimmer which results in going from one home center to another to find something that meets my little requirement: that it works!

I bought both a trimmer and blower two years ago. This year, the base of the trimmer housing the string began to melt and smoke. I can't use it. I bought a Robi and it works fine. Blower can't get it started, pull and pull and pull. Nothing. Cost too much to repair and/or send it back. Both pieces are junk, now and when I bought it. Who knew. Never another Homelite item.

Same as Tom in Michigan. It's a little hard starting. It only runs at 3/4 choke; runs about 10 to 15 minutes and dies. It will restart for a second or 2 and die. Homelite website is not user friendly. I cannot raise contact page. I just spent 1.5 hours trying to get info on this unit without much success. I'm going out to try again. Maybe it cooled off (as I haven't) or resettled itself this sitting period. I just came back from trying this blower again and it wouldn't even start. I could get it started with Start your Engine but at $8.49 for 4oz, that's totally ridiculous. I think it's the carburetor, if not the entire motor and Homelite should replace, fix or return our money.

I am Retired, on Social Security and have seven stents in my heart and arteries. The main reason for buying a gas blower is two flower areas. At the beginning of our drive is 600 feet from the house. I cannot afford to have electric put in for that distance and although electric would be more reliable, I don't think extension cords can carry enough current to operate a unit there, let alone buying cords and dragging them around.

Within the manufacturers two year warranty my Homelite Mightylite Blower Vac model UT08550 won't run after it warms up on full choke or mid choke. It starts but dies out when taken off choke. Home Depot said I must return it to Homelite factory service. The factory said they don't have a recall. I say they must recall these units and fix them properly I've only used it one summer season and I have other people I know with the same problem. Please help. I can't afford to scrap everything I buy because of factory defects or poor design. I have been able to adjust and repair just about everything in small engines for the past 40 years but the Homelite company must honor their two year warranty when so many people have the same complaint. Its not bad gasoline, or user error since I am an experienced mechanic. I would like your organization to start getting involved and help to solve this problem for me.

I learned years ago that Homelite products had dropped dramatically in quality. Low and behold, I received a Homelite Mighty Lite Blower for Xmas. The next fall I opened the box and it idled but would not speed up and then it died all together. Remedy? Seeing its out of warrenty now...take it to a dealer...wait a few weeks and pay again for a product you never wanted. Moral: Stay AWAY from HOMELITE! Money wasted by my daughter and I raked the yard by hand.

I used my chain saw for the very first time and noticed the chain getting hot. The homelite web page gave a location to repair it. I got it repaired and the very next time I used it the same problem happened with the oil pump. The service place recomended I return it for a new saw. I did so and the new saw did the same thing. The very first time I used it. Unfortunately I waited 3 years to use the new saw and it is out of warenty.

I purchased a Homelite Shear/Shrubber, model #UT44170, this past spring to trim the grass around my stepping stones & to trim the new growth on my landscaping yews. The unit will not cut thru the new growth on the shrubs (only 1-2 inches long) and will not even cut thru fescue grass. The only thing it will cut thru is the thin Kentucky Blue grass.

At first I thought that the problem was that the battery needed to be recharged several times to gain the most power, but this has not happened.

In my opinion it is a worthless piece of junk taking up space in my garage. It will be the last Homelite product I buy.

I bought a Homelite MightyLite 26cc Blower/Vac from Home Depot on 10/27/07. The first time I used it the exhaust became so hot it burned a hole in my brand new Carhartt hooded sweatshirt and sweatpants. It has always had problems starting and continuing to keep running. If it does start on full choke it will kill as soon as you switch it half choke or run. I've tried fresher fuel, Seafoam, Sta-bil, nothing works. It's not worth taking to a repair shop considering most reviews complain that you spend the money and it still doesn't work. I'll just throw it out and go buy another brand. I'll never buy any Homelite product again and I'm disappointed in Home Depot for carrying such a piece of junk.

I bought a HomeLite Mighty Lite curved shaft gas trimmer about eight months ago. It worked good for the first three times except for the line breaking every ten minutes. The line broke because the line spool kept on biting on the spool cup and would never align where the line is supposed to to come through the slot in the spool cup. Soon afterwards, it all went downhill. It wouldn't start at all. I would spend 15-20 minutes, priming and pulling the starter without a hint of it starting.

For days I would try this, then finally I took it to a repair shop. The same thing happened sometimes as soon as I took it home. I must have taken it for repairs at least three times and I still have the same problem. I've had some parts replaced in the carb, and it started, but it didn't last too long. I would never buy any Homelite product in my life.

bought a homelite mightylite 26cs from home depot august 17, took it back last night, can't keep it running, thet wanted 35 dallars to ship it back, it has a 2 yr warranty, i told them it's not worth spenndin 35 dollars on a new weed eater, cintacted homelite with no results either, i'll scrap it and buy another brand. any suggestions? i used a weed eater brand for years, it held up

I purchased a Homelite VAC Attack 11 Blower/Vacuum (UT08934D). A week later the pull cord broke. The man at the repair shop said not to pull very hard because it wii keep breaking (3). Following this I've had it in the repair shop five times putting the motor screws back together. The repairman said he would not fix it any more because it will just keep vibrating apart. It has been sitting in my garage for a year and a half because I can't get it to run or will they fix it anymore. He says he would just be taking my money and it would right back in for the same thing.

I bought a HomeLite weed eater. I've used it three times. I spend more time working on it than using it. The string breaks in about two min. of uses. It will not start now. It is just a peice of junk. To get it fix if possible. I have to take it to a town 25 miles away. The time and gas it well take it's not worth it. I think it a scam $69.99 at a time.

I received a Homelite weed trimmer as a fathers day gift in June 2008. After about 3 weeks the return spring for the pull start pulled the guts out of the recoil part. I ordered 2 just in case this was a ongoing problem,(at my expense)while it is still under warranty. Here it is almost year later, While trimming the yard the connecting rod breaks. I call my local Homelite warranty dealer and was told "I can look at it in about 6-8 weeks,we're working on riding mowers now. I don't need to tell you that mowers and weed trimmer are used about the same time. I write a letter to Homelite vai e-mail. I receive back a form letter telling me about their warranty (which I already knew). Told them my story and asked what to do? Another form letter just like the first one telling me of their warranty.(one week earlier)I hadn't forgotten the warranty so not to sure why I receive the second form letter explaining the warranty.

Took the trimmer to a dealer 40 miles away to see about getting some warranty work done. Need a power head, the rod is broken. He says to me, "I'll have to check and see if it has a warranty". I said to him,"yes it has a warranty, look at the build date, by the serial number. Date of Manufacture 4/15/2008 2 Months before I received it as a fathers day gift. I tried and tried calling Homelite to get a LIVE PERSON in customer service. THEY DON"T EXISTS. I own a lot of Homelite and Ryobi products. As I told Homelite, I will NEVER OWN ANOTHER product by them if they don't get this figured out without all the BS. This is not ROCKET SCIENCE. Warranty is Warranty, DO THE MATH. Date of manufacture 4/15/2008. Good till 4/15/2010. WHAT IS THE PROBLEM?

Made in the U.S.A junk!

I bought a 16" homelite chain saw. I used it about an hr. then it would not start. the warrenty 30 days was not up so home depot gave me another, now this one will not start, I only used it about 2 hr. but my warrenty of 30 is up. now I am stuck with a new saw that will not start, and I am very mad at these chainsaw and may never buy another one, unless something is done about this one. ps I have always used homelite products.

"Since it's a 6.5 BTU, we do a "rebate". To put it bluntly, I HAVE TO GO BUY ANOTHER OF THEIR CRAPPY A/Cs then WAIT for them to mail me a check to cover it!!! I'M broke, okay? I used my stimulus check last year to buy it, and I don't have any money!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but a WARRANTY, and a REBATE are TWO DIFFERENT THINGS!

WARRANTY- An ASSURANCE for the fulfillment of a condition.

REBATE- An amount subtracted from a sum...

I don't know what to do, and my wife and I won't make it in this Texas heat without an air conditioner. IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO?

Ticked off in Texas

Chainsaw will not idle in the idle position, engine runs at very fast speed, allowing chain to spin/stay engaged. This is a very dangerous condition, similar to 2003 recall. I contacted Homelite, they say choke lever is getting stuck with throttle cable. Not the case, I took the cover off, cable seems to be too short or binding. Choke is in no way involved.

i bought a chainsaw in january and it has been the best i ever owned you losers who dis homeite should give it a little tlc that all they need i even got one of the old xl's and restored it.

I bought a homelite string trimmer in february of 2008 and this piece of equipment has been in the repair shop more than i have had it. when i talk to homelite they tell me that they will get it fixed and back to me as soon as possible but cant give me any idea of how long it is going to take.

this is the second or third time for the same problem which is the carburator andthis time it has been in the shop for more than 45 days and still no parts or trimmer please contact me as im about tired of this problem

I see where you had an article on recall on a homelite chain saw.I had a homelite gas string weed wacker and it was junk, even tried to replace parts and it still wouldn't work right. Getting it started was a chore.

I pulled and pulled till I was exhausted. Had enough and tossed it in the garbage. I see so many of their products being sold RECONDITIONED. I believe there all junk and won't even take one for free for all the irratation & aggravation trying to get the things to start much less make it work. The word Homelite means junk to me

What I paid for it and the repair parts and still would not work. Recommended buy DONT EVEN THINK ABOUT IT. thought I'd let you know.

the fuel hoses from the carburetor to the fuel tank just came apart and spilled gasoline all over the front of my trousers and shoes before i could ascertain what was causing the fuel flow. i inspected where it was emanating from and discovered the fuel lines were broken off at the tank end with no method of repairing it

ruined a pair of my trousers (Dickies) Brand $34.95 and I have no way to repair this item. I only desire to have it repaired and I have no intention of bringing a law suit against the manufacturer. I only want it replaced or repaired.

I certainly would not purchase another Homelite Product

I purchased a Homelite MightyLite 26cc Blower/Vac from Home Depot. I wanted to this as a dedicated tool to pick up leaves. After using it about 5 seperate times, anywhere from 30 minutes to 1 hour, the tool complete fell apart. This never happened with any tool I ever purchased before. The handle adapter broke, the upper portion of the fan started to melt, the upper portion of the upper volute started to melt, the heat sheld split in two, a screw fell out from the motor attachment, and a spacer over the motor shaft broke. I believe this tool was not made for this type of continuous use. I also believe that when the handle adapter broke this caused the motor shaft to be out of alignment which caused premature rubbing on components and heat build up. I also don't believe the plastic parts were made of high strength or high heat resistent material.

The blower/vac started making a terrible clunking noise which prompted me to turn it off. I took apart the blower/vac to determine the issue and noticed the premature wearing conditions on the parts I mentioned above. The blower/vac can not ever be used again without being for the most part completely rebuilt.

I brought the blower to the closest one, B & R Sharpening at 19739 Sherman Way Canoga Park Ca 91306. The owner would not fix the accelerator cable even though it clearly states in the owners manual warranty section that all items would be covered excluding other items than this. He stated that he would fix it for $25. I am making a complaint to the better business bureau about both Homelite Consumer Products Inc and the repair store listed on the Homelite web page that should have fixed this warrantied item at no charge.

I am not interested in a lawsuit, only to have companies be resposible for their products and services that they should rightfully supply as advertised.

They contacted me and said they could not repair the blower and call homelite which I did they said they would send me another it took over 4 weeks but recieved the new blower on the 16 of August. I called the authorized service center to get my 30.00 dollars back and they said it was non refundable. I then went to put the Vac Attack 11 together only to notice that the upper vacum tube was missing the notch that holds it in place.So once again I called Homelite to explain that it had a defective part and that the authorized service center refused to refund my 30.00 deposit. Homelite said there was nothing thay could do. I can't believe that first I missed half the season of using the blower secound its still defective and can't use this blower and third I paid 30.00 dollars more for a blower I can't use.

I purchased a Homelite chainsaw from one of those Truck Tool Sales that come into your town and sell you tools etc. The Chainsaw is so poorly constructed that it has had problems from the second time we used it. Specifically, it is a Homelite 45 Timberman Chainsaw with a 20 bar. When it gets hot after running it full speed for about two minutes, it starts to die out and now its having starting problems. The brake is already broken on it also. I'm afraid that there are a lot of people out there who have purchased these saws and are stuck with them. I am calling Homelite on Monday. Wish me luck.

I might be out of a couple hundred dollars for a piece of junk that I bought new and still have the reciept for and the box it came in with.
