Start, homeowners can use a
cordless drill to quickly start their

the drill to power-up the engine.

Start tool is a self-contained
electric starter motor with the
starting bit already installed. Just
plug it into a standard wall socket and insert the one-way drive

models, and both the Power
Bit Start and Plug-In Power
Start are available as add-ons
for all new gas-powered
Craftsman trimmers.
