Troy bilt string trimmer1/22/2024 IMPORTANT: This addendum defines the start of the warranty period. But if it’s a gas unit you’re looking for, we think buying the Troy-Bilt TB25CB is a good choice.WARRANTY ADDENDUM. ![]() However, it’s worth it to heed our pro’s advice: not everyone needs a gas trimmer, and in many cases, a cheaper, battery-operated trimmer will do. The TB25CB is a high-quality piece of equipment and, if you’re in the market for a gas-operated trimmer, we say go for it. It’s an affordable gas-powered unit that can chew through even the most stubborn weeds. If you’ve just got a little edging or some manageable trimming, a battery-operated trimmer works great.” Kenneth Deemer, Local Roots Landscaping. If you’ve got a big yard with lots of thick weeds, gas is the way to go. Performance-wise, gas is always going to beat battery, but it’s all about what you need." “This is the kind of trimmer we would use in a professional setting, so it should be more than enough for any homeowner. “Troy-Bilt is a solid brand,” Deemer said. We spoke to Kenneth Deemer of Local Roots Landscaping to ask him his thoughts about the Troy-Bilt TB25CB and who it might be best for. Some users have reported issues with the product not starting, but these reviews were answered by the brand's customer service and defects are covered by the product's 2-year warranty. We ran the TB25CB for almost 2 hours with minimal fatigue- it is a comfortable trimmer to run and with a quick fueling, was back to tackle the winter mess of our yard.” The speed is easily controlled and simple to maintain an even trim. The TB25CB performed the best of any string trimmer we've ever owned, with a uniform trim and minimal effort. With almost a full acre, our yard has curbs, sidewalks, paving stones, landscaping beds, trees, wooden and chain link fence lines, shrubs and a cobbled patio. One happy user said “The Troybilt 25CB arrived just in time for our spring yard clean-up weekend. Positive reviews mention the easy set up, and the comfort granted by the curved shaft. Out of a total of 284 total reviews at, the trimmer received 137 5-star reviews. The Troy-Bilt TB25CB is, at the time of writing, well reviewed on (3.6 out of 5 stars) and (4.3 out of 5 stars). It does, however, have all of the features that the more expensive models have, and doesn’t seem to be lacking in capability. The TB25CB isn’t the least expensive unit in this price range, nor is it the most expensive. Overall, most trimmers in the $80-$100 range offer many of the same specs: 16-inch cuts, 25cc, 2-cycle engine and a curved shaft. ![]() Craftsman, Black + Decker and Bolens make comparable units, all falling between $80-$105. Reaching nearly triple digits, the TB25CB is one of the more expensive trimmers on the market for similar trimmers. The Troy-Bilt TB25CB comes with a 2-year manufacturer's warranty that covers any defect. He suggested that users just spray the underside of the trimmer’s cover with a hose after each use to remove any grass or weeds. Anything with a gas-powered engine should be stored upright to avoid fuel leakage.”Īccording to Deemer, cleaning the trimmer is an easy process. Those are all good places to store a trimmer. “Cool and dry are your best bets,” he said. ![]() Besides paying close attention to the fuel, he noted that a gas-powered trimmer should also be stored thoughtfully. The biggest sin you can make is to let gas sit all winter and then try to run your trimmer.”ĭeemer said using old gas can damage the engine and result in low performance. Mix up fuel a gallon at a time, and, if at the end of the season, there is gas in either the tank of the trimmer, or the fuel can, you should safely empty it and discard it. My best advice is to get a gas can that is just for that particular trimmer. “That’s the number one rule with these kinds of trimmers. “You don’t want to use old gas,” Deemer told Top Ten Reviews. According to Kenneth Deemer, founder of Local Roots Landscaping in Pittsburgh, PA, paying attention to fuel is one of the most important things you can do for a trimmer like the TB25CB. Gas-powered tools tend to demand a little more maintenance than their battery-operated cousins. We could smell the gas burning while using the unit, but there was no lingering odor after we stopped the trimmer. We found that a noise-blocking headset or a good pair of ear plugs were necessary when using the TB25CB.Īlso, because it burns gas, the trimmer does emit some exhaust. That, unfortunately, is the drawback of a powerful engine. If there’s one criticism, it’s likely a necessary one- the TB25CB is loud. From way overgrown grass to thick heather and weeds to some unruly creeping vines on chain link fence. The long and short of it is this: We were unable to find a job that the TB25CB couldn’t handle.

Public radio international valarie kaur1/21/2024 She reached millions through her time as host of her “Precept for Life” program on television and radio, reaching more than 75 million households in over 30 countries each day for more than 20 years. ![]() Or do you choose someone whose work has lasted over several generations and influenced millions of women, even if they’re retired at present? One thinks of Kay Arthur, 89, an evangelical Bible teacher and bestselling author of more than 100 books and Bible study workbooks since co-founding Precept Ministries International in 1970 with her late husband, Jack. I was intrigued by someone who spotlighted how unmarried and divorced Muslim women are treated as cast-offs by co-religionists, and how black Muslim women are especially under the gun because of racist attitudes among Muslim men. I wrote a piece about her work (dating while black, female and Muslim) for Newsweek in the fall of 2021 and she is pictured with this blog post. Should one stick with women who have the largest numbers of books written, most news coverage or most impressive social media standings? How about lesser-known women who represent important constituencies?įor instance, many of you may not know Nailah Dean, 30, a black/Latina California lawyer and Muslim feminist who speaks out on what she calls the “Muslim marriage crisis.” She says the high rate of singleness among educated Muslim women is impacting American Islam in a bad way. I do realize that women in many traditions aren’t allowed into formal religious positions, which is why my list includes activists, bloggers and others who work outside regular boundaries. I am not denigrating their accomplishments, but simply focusing elsewhere. I avoided women who got where they are because of their husbands. I’ve now updated that list to include other religions. Interesting as it is, why are such stories always about the men? For instance, notice the recent New York Times Magazine story on John Onwuchekwa, the former black Southern Baptist pastor. (See my 2012 Washington Post story on Bauer here.)Įach of them were worth a story in the secular media but rarely do such women appear in top publications. In a post titled “ Great Women Who Will Never Be Famous,” I wrote about Miriam Adeney, Nancy Pearcey, Robin Mazyck, Susan Wise Bauer, Sarah Zacharias Davis and Dale Hanson Bourke. The first time I put together such a list was in 2014 when I was so frustrated at how so many gifted evangelical women didn’t get near the top billing in the media that men do. I have spent much of my professional career profiling women in religion. The only two women who made the list on their own merits were televangelist Joyce Meyer and the late Diane Knippers, president of the Institute on Religion and Democracy. Most of those named were men if there were women, they were paired with their husbands. Time magazine asked a similar question about evangelicals and the magazine’s list of America’s 25 most influential evangelicals is still referred to 18 years later. In short, who are the most influential women in American religion? ![]() In effect, they have transcended their faith groups. I would have liked to have something more diverse and wider-ranging, such as a list of top women who exert influence not only within their own religions, but who have spoken to needs or issues in the general culture. The Washington Post did a piece on women in Afghanistan (as did the New York Times) Agence France Presse wrote on women who work for the Roman Curia the Jewish Telegraph Agency covered Orthodox women who get around their religion’s prohibition against women chanting Hebrew scriptures to mixed audiences. ![]() International Women’s Day last week led to - naturally - a lot of news features about the female half of the human race.

Multi tool pliers with hammer and screw1/21/2024 ![]() After that, expect to find a variety of screwdrivers, including flat-head and Phillips, bottle openers, files, can openers, and even scissors and tweezers, depending on the model. The most common individual tools in a multi-tool are pliers and knives, since they provide the most sought-after functions. Some larger multi-tools that weigh over a pound will have only four or five individual tools, so a wide variety exists. Typically, the smaller the multi-tool, the fewer unique tools it will contain, but this isn’t a hard-and-fast rule. Much smaller models are available, designed for carrying in a purse or a pocket these weigh just 3 to 4 ounces and are less than 3 inches long. Multi-tools are typically small and lightweight, with the majority weighing in under 1 pound and measuring just 4 to 7 inches in length. Most multi-tools do not have padded handles, but a few feature padded inserts in the handles that make using the tool more comfortable. Other finishes are highly polished steel, brushed nickel, satin, and black stainless steel. Today, one of the more popular finishes is brushed gunmetal, which provides a tactical look. Stainless steel is a favorite for multi-tools, and it comes in a variety of finishes. The goal is to produce a tool that folds into a relatively compact space yet is made from quality material that will last for years. The best multi-tools are made from high-quality steel and feature engineered moving parts. Pliers-based multi-tools are the most common types sold today. It will likely also come with one or more knives, but the pliers will be engineered to grab, twist, and pull virtually any material. Pliers-based: A well-crafted and precise set of pliers is the main focal point of this type of multi-tool.If it does have pliers, they will typically be small and seem more like an afterthought. Knife-based: This type of multi-tool features one or more large knife blades but usually won’t include a set of pliers.Though today’s multi-tools offer many functions, they fall into two main categories: knife-based and pliers-based. Instead, the tools in a standard multi-tool are made to allow the user to perform specific tasks in a pinch-when single-use tools aren’t available. But multi-tools aren’t designed to compete with high-end pliers. For example, pliers on a multi-tool will not perform at the same level as a pair of high-quality plumber pliers. Keep in mind that the tools available in a standard multi-tool are not designed to match a single-use tool’s level of performance.
