In this review I take a look at the Honda VersAttach multi-function landscape and yard maintenance power tool.
Honda VersAttach combines a 4-stroke motor with a series of snap-on, snap-off attachments that carry out up to 6 different landscaping functions. The system includes attachments for trimming, hedge trimming, edging, cultivating, pruning and leaf blowing (each sold separately).

Do some research before buying into the VersAttach system. The engine is great. It is quiet, usable at low and medium RPM, and doesn't require pre-mix. Maintenance and repair parts are reasonable from Honda and inexpensive aftermarket. Its only drawback is that it is somewhat heavy for its power. Almost everything beyond the engine is proprietary with wildly expensive parts. The rest of the system is made by Nikkari, a small Japanese company. Parts are about 10x what you would expect. The trimmer head grease port plug bolt is $50. A replacement plastic cover for the hedge trimmer blade is $105. An adjusting screw for the pole pruner, an easily stripped part, is $58.

Good video! This machine is sold at Home Depot for around $400. with the string trimmer attachment, that is a good price. I have always liked the idea of a 4 stroke trimmer for torque, noise, and efficiency, as well as the fact that I don't have the cost or hassle of mixing oil into the gas. Some of the other 4 stroke engines on trimmers require a gas/oil mixture like a 2 stroke engine, namely Stihl is one that does this. Honda engines are all known for their starting ability in all types of weather; I have read that many commercial boats use Honda engines on their water pumps because they will start easily in adverse conditions.

I'm a Honda guy myself, having Honda mowers and I chose Echo's PAS with the 2620 power head (2 stroke gas) but being a Japanese company it is relatively quiet, durable and low-emissions compliant as of 2018. I also chose it over the Honda due to attachment variety and I have a dealer about a 10 minute walk from my house versus an hour's drive. Honda just started offering the system last year versus Makita, Stihl, MTD and Echo having their systems available in North America for more than five years.

I just bought into this system, haven't put it together yet though. I just bought a multi-acre property and the battery stuff just doesn't cut it for me due to overall service time. I have to spend as much as 2 hours weed waacking the property or trimming trees. So I wanted something that was fuel efficient and affordable. I bought the powerhead here before I had bought an Echo string trimmer and now looking back I wasn't sure if I made the right choice going with the Honda system vs the Echo one...

@@WalterRitchey Well 1 year later my Honda power head is having problems running under full load out of nowhere... and my pole saw hasn't ever worked. It has always leaked oil and has now gone through 1 service and they said there was nothing wrong with it yet it doesn't lube the chain and just leaks oil.... The power head is very strong when its working well... but having an issue with it with seriously only about 25 hours on the unit is pretty bad IMHO. I hope I'm able to fix it with some carb adjustments because it honestly shouldn't be having issues already.

Is the tiller powerful enough to loosen up at all a dead spot in the lawn that's hard bare compacted dirt? In order to plant new grass seed to fix a bare spot in the lawn the dirt spot must be loosened up and a tiller would make the job easier is why I'm asking. Thanks!
@TheNovakReport
@TheNovakReport 4 жыл бұрын
I didn't get a chance to try it on a dead spot in the lawn, but the 35 cc motor did seem to have a decent amount of power. My guess is that it would be able to but you might want to ask a Honda Power Equipment dealer first before making a decision to buy one. Sorry for the delay in answering your question.

I have the 425 fixed Honda weedeater, all I can say is that after at least 10 years of personal use I don't see any issue with it. Of course the 435 might be more effective, but also heavier, especially with the multi-tool adaptator. I'd like to buy the 425 or 435 versatool with the long hedge trimmer and the pruner, but I fear the attachment causes a sensible loss of power compared to a direct transmission... The electric versions with battery backpack are much more expensive, but if they are more powerful and lighter in the hands, it may be worth the price ?

I can't say for certain but I don't believe so. The VersAttach system seems to be proprietary and designed only to work with their own power head. I could be wrong as I didn't explore this angle, but it might be best to check with Honda directly.

@@TheNovakReport Well, if we took my old weed eater and the new one, and put them on a table, I'm sure you would be shocked at how similar they are. Identical really. That is until you get down to the attachment point. Which just looks like a coupler that can be bolted on. I would be able to save a fortune if I could retro fit this piece.
