The fun part about my job is that I get to bring you honest reviews of products I love. Our family spends quite a bit of time outdoors and in our yard. Maintaining the yard and landscaping is a weekly chore that I don’t mind doing but recently yardwork just got a whole lot easier! I’m excited to share with you The Coolest Tools in the Shed that I know any dad would love for Father’s Day and I have a Troy-bilt Garden Tool Gift Package Giveaway just in time for Father’s Day too! 
This past March I introduced you all to the Saturday 6 and announced my brand amabassadorship with Troy-Bilt. They have let me try out and review a few of their power tools for the yard and let me tell you, I was so impressed with the convenience and power of these tools!
The main tool I want to talk about today is the 4-cycle Straight Shaft Gas String Trimmer. The lower half of the trimmer detaches and then you can easily attach on a variety of TrimmerPlus attachments that easily click on. All current and recent Troy-Bilt® 2-cycle and 4-cycle string trimmers are attachment-capable. Which means the trimmers can accept any TrimmerPlus® attachment, allowing you to tackle more chores around the yard without buying a dedicated machine for each task. It comes with a handy support strap which I find very helpful.
Stop pulling! Squeeze to start! Out of all the tools we have, this little gadget has to be one of my favorites! I love, love, love it! It is the JumpStart™ Lithium-Ion Engine Starter. The most common frustration homeowners have with gas powered yard tools is that they are difficult to start especially for those of us who don’t have Thor’s Super Hero upper arm strength. I’m constantly begging hubs to start the power tools for me. This gadget eliminates all effort! All you do is insert the starter into the tool’s starter port and squeeze the trigger. Voila! In a second, your small engine is revved up and ready to go (and you didn’t just pull a tricep muscle in the process)!
The battery will give you 25 starts between charging. And it charges very quickly too!
Troy-Bilt’s Aero-Flex® Glider Trimmer Attachment has to be one of the coolest little inventions. It is a disc that easily glides along the ground which really alleviated any pressure or strain on my arms and back that I normally have with trimmers. It also helps to prevent those accidental yard scalping moments. The glider trimmer attachment also uses flexible nylon cutting blades instead of the normal string.
We were really impressed with the power and ease of use of the TrimmerPlus® Lawn Edger Attachment. My husband just kept saying, “This is so cool!” and “Mmm, I like this!”. He is very picky and opinionated about his choice of tools. 😉 We own a separate electric edger and it pales in comparison to the TrimmerPlus® Lawn Edger. We were able to edge our entire lawn faster than ever before.
After edging and trimming is when we start the mowing. We have a Troybilt 21″ Rear Wheel Drive Self-Propelled Mower. It is nice and very easy to use! The InStep™ variable-speed transmission naturally adjusts to your walking speed, giving you greater control. I also like that the height adjustment is just one lever instead of two.
We also have a separate blower that is part of our shop vac, but again it is electrical and a pain to use and drag around a cord everywhere. The TrimmerPlus® High Performance Blower Attachment is very powerful and cleaned up my sidewalks and patio in just minutes. 
Cleaning up dirt and grime along the street curbs is one of my least favorite job, because by this point in the yard work, I’m exhausted. The TrimmerPlus® Power Broom attachment makes it a breeze! It is great for cleaning up grass clippings and even light snow (if you are in a location that gets snow).
The yard looks gorgeous now and these cool tools from Troy-bilt® helped make it possible.
All of these tools would make a fabulous gift idea for dad! Trust me, my hubs was thrilled with these!

Wow!! That would make an awesome father’s day gift. Love the versatility!
The yard chore I like least is digging up the soil in the garden to prepare it for planting.
My husband needs this system for lawn care. He has a collections of mismatched,non-functional garden tools that sit in our garden shed unused. I hate to see him struggle with them to complete our lawn and garden upkeep. Thank you so much for this chance to gift him with such a great gift.
troy-bilt has a good reputation for dependability, so no wonder you love them xx
Great gifts for Father’s Day. Must have tools for your yard and garden.
I love, love, love my Troy-bilt mower, This looks amazing! What a great gift.
Oops…what do I hate most about yard work…..EDGING!!! The edger and blower would make my life so easy!
I hate weed eating the most! The weed eater tool would be great and make it so much easier!
The part I dislike most about lawn care is keeping the weeds at bay…but that doesn’t have anything to do with tools! LOL I actually really enjoy the rest of the lawn chores; mowing, trimming, edging. I like it all and when it’s done the yard looks great! Thanks for the giveaway!
Weeding is my least favorite chore. Next is edging and trimming. The trimmer looks fantastic and like it would solve all the issues I normally have using them. The interchangeable attachments are fantastic, such versatility!
Wow this is an amazing package of prizes!!! And our yard could certainly use it. 🙂
I hate yard work, as does my husband. He’ll do it, bu he definitely does not enjoy it. 🙂 These tools might make things easier for him. I especially like the edger…..
It would be awesome to win this package. Thank you for the giveaway!
Weeding is my nemesis! However, I’d really like to have a blower! Thank you.
I hate keeping the edges sharp because I have to use a shovel. I need that edger!
Hate, hate, simply detest WEEDING!!!!! I think my husband will also be saying, “THIS IS COOL!” to the TrimmerPlus® Lawn Edger Attachment.
I hate yardwork in all aspects. It’s just a pain in the neck. I think a blower would helps us out the most since we have several trees in our yard and the LEAVES…my goodness the LEAVES!
Would love not to have to “pull” start a trimmer!
We need it all! We have 5 acres of land so there is always yard work to be done!
I can’t stand weeding and edging. Troy Built has tools to help with that.
This would be a great Father’s day gift! Weeds are my nemesis. Ugh. And edging is the thing that gets skipped when time is short. Love how this all works together.
I hate the clean up after, so hard on the back .
This is a fantastic give-away! My husband would be thrilled to receive these quality tools for Father’s Day~
I hate doing the edging, but I love the way it looks.
I actually love yard work. I would love to have some new pruners and loppers!
Cleaning up the grass pieces, street and even snow sucks 🙂 so having the TrimmerPlus® Power Broom attachment would help tremendously! Great items indeed.
We don’t like trimming the border plants. The Comfort Max Anvil Pruners would make this easier.
Edging! I hate edging. A power tool to get that done would be wonderful!
The blower! I’m so tired of sweeping! Thanks for the opportunity – my fingers are crossed!
I hate edging and would love the trimmer plus edger. Great prize package – thanks for the chance to win.
I don’t even know where to start…..probably mowing is my worst nightmare because …lots of lawn and stuff to move before you can mow. The package is stupendous! Thank you for the giveaway!!!
Looks awesome! Great package. Thanks for the chance to win.
I hate weed-whacking!! They are usually heavy and it takes so long and they are hard to start. Then cleaning up what you just trimmed. Short of having someone do it for me (wishful thinking) something that is easy to start & handle and that can switch out would be great!
I would love the edger! Right now I’m using a shovel and it takes me forever to get the edges looking nice.
I hate that my grass keeps growing, lol!! The edger would make my lawn look so much more manicured! Thanks for the chance & happy Father’s Day to y’all! 😀
I hate having to chase down all the different tools for lawn care. This would be awesome!
Just the idea of not having to pull and press a button…..omg my arm could really use that kind of tool. Love that it has all the attachments. Troy-bilt always has been on my radar for the best in equipment. Count me in for the giveaway please….and thank you for the awesome pics to show how it all works.
What a wonderful giveaway!!! Perfect for Father’s Day!
I don’t like weedeating, I would love to have the edger.
Thanks,
Karen
I love yard work! I guess I take after my Dad! This Troy-Bilt gardening package would be a great gift to my husband for Father’s Day. I know he would be thrilled with them, & so would I! Thanks for the great giveaway!
What I hate the most about lawn care is raking up the clippings. I would love to have the blower the best out of the package.
These look like great additions to the toys in the garage. Anything that makes the job go faster and easier in our hot and humid summers in Florida would be wonderful.
Most all of the yard chores are hard on me because I am small and have the same issues as you do (not being able to start the edger, mower, blower easily), but the chore that I dislike the most is edging!
My least favorite part about yard work is mowing the area where the riding lawnmower can’t go. I’d love to have the Troybilt 21″ Rear Wheel Drive Self-Propelled Mower which would help with that task.
oh yeah, press to start! Gotta love it.
weeding is a real pain. I avoid doing it til I just have no choice. ha! These tools look nice…would like to have them.
I usually love most of my gardening and yard work, but we have some major blackberry bushes that need pruned a lot! The Comfort Classic Anvil Lopper would help me with those pesky bushes without getting scratched. Thanks for the chance! 🙂
Really would love the self propelled mower and trimmer.
Thank you.
I love gardening and yard work, but as I get older I find I like edging the least! Thirst attachments take yard work to a new level of enjoyment.
I’m drooling. Want all the things! I hate picking up pine cones the most, I think. I’m pretty sure that after Troy Bilt reads my comment, they will begin development of an attachment for picking up pine cones.
Love all these products, especially the starter for the trimmer!
i hate the bugs that come along with gardening! i would love the loppers as they would make it easier to cut thicker things!
I hate that every year we have to bring our equipment in to be fixed. TroyBilt would be a large step up for us.
edging is definitely not fun and I like the TrimmerPlus
I would love an edger to go around the planting beds.
We could use the Trimmer plus Edger because that is the most difficult part in mowing our lawn.
We could definitely use some pruners and my least favorite job is weeding thistle!

Hate the trimming, a weed trimmer would be wonderful.
I’m lucky enough that my husband does all of the lawn care, but I know he hates just how long it takes him to get it done.
Personally, I only like trimming the bushes and shrubs and planting flowers.
What my AWESOME, hard working husband could really use is a tiller. We have bad soil, so it’s very challenging. We often have to till and plant new grass.
Thanks for the chance at this great giveaway, all!
Trimming the bushes is the worst. The pruners would definitely help 🙂
Weeding is definitely my least favorite!
