Homelite Parts for Famous Outdoor Products
Homelite outdoor power tools and machines have earned recognition, and even fame, throughout the company's history.
Not only were they the first company to introduce a gas-powered hedge trimmer to market, but they are even more well known for producing the first light-weight, hand operated chainsaw in 1963, the XL-12.
The XL-12's slim twelve pound total weight made an impact on professional and personal use chainsawing everywhere, but strangely enough, it also received some pop culture recognition for being used in the 1974 Texas Chainsaw Massacre film.
Homelite has continued to introduce innovative chainsaw designs over the years:
- Zip StartTM- This Homelite patented system makes cord starting gas-powered chainsaws much easier as faster.
- Safe-T-TipTM-This unique nose guard makes it easier for the saw to engage its work by stabilizing the nose. It also works to reduce vibration and prevent kickback.
- Power StrokeTM- A design that improves engine start-up, life, and power.
Homelite trimmers are also very well circulated, and are known for time-saving convenience features. Their many trimmer models include gas and electric designs, and are especially suited for homeowners and non-professional applications.
- Pro CutTM Trimmer Head- The most time consuming part of any lawn trimming job is refilling the trimmer's cutting line. This design feature from Homelite makes replacing that trimmer line fast and easy.
- Push Button Starter- A battery powered electric starting system available on many of their gas powered trimmers.
