TrimmerPlus Attachments Offer Multi-Tool versatility,But Compatibility Varies By Brand
Homeowners seeking to expand the functionality of their existing outdoor power equipment have a new option: TrimmerPlus attachments. These attachments-including blowers, brushcutters, hedge trimmers, and more-are designed to work with a wide range of string trimmer brands, potentially saving consumers the cost of purchasing dedicated single-use tools. However, user reports indicate compatibility isn’t universal, requiring careful verification before purchase.
The appeal of TrimmerPlus lies in its promise of a modular system. Instead of buying separate tools for tasks like edging, cultivating, or trimming hedges, users can purchase a single TrimmerPlus attachment and connect it to their existing string trimmer. This approach can be especially attractive given the rising costs of outdoor power equipment and the desire for space-saving solutions. Currently, TrimmerPlus offers eight main attachments: two blower options, a brushcutter, hedge trimmer, pole saw, fixed line cutting head, cultivator, and lawn edger.
To ensure compatibility, a trimmer must feature a 1.65-inch inner coupler tube diameter and a square, 1/5-inch female drive shaft connector. TrimmerPlus designed the system to be broadly adaptable, aiming to allow users to maximize the utility of their existing equipment nonetheless of brand. all attachments are backed by a two-year limited warranty.
Despite this design intent, some users have reported difficulty fitting TrimmerPlus attachments to certain trimmer brands, specifically citing issues with Echo and Husqvarna models. These experiences suggest that while TrimmerPlus strives for universality, not all trimmers are inherently compatible. Consumers are advised to carefully review their trimmer’s specifications and the TrimmerPlus attachment details before making a purchase to avoid potential fitment issues.
