Review on POWERTEC 70005 Filter Collectors 3 Micron by Alonzo Wilkins

It was actually easier to assemble and hang than attaching a grass catcher. A very disappointing experience. First, the collection bag is made from a blanket-like fabric. It has a tension thread to tighten it up a bit BUT. Because of the webbing material, the drawstring was extremely difficult to pull and attach to the engine case. Second, as you can see in the photo, the motor neck that the bag attaches to is only about 1 inch wide (top to bottom). Having trouble getting the bag up to the shavings/dust outlet, working with such a narrow neck, and difficulties with the tensioning cord, I was forced to find other "home remedies", none of which didn't work very well. . So. That aspect of completing the install ruined what was a relatively easy install. Unfortunately, Revain doesn't have a category called Customization. If that were the case, I would have failed this product simply because of the poor design of the exhaust port and the material used for the dust bag, which made the whole experience beyond substandard. Especially for someone who no one else could help. If I had 4 hands maybe it would be better. Can I offer this company a different collection design AND make the engine opening wider so there is more room to work? For example, there could be a thin elastic band at the top of the bag that would hold the bag snugly around your neck long enough for the metal clip to clip and tighten around it. Sometimes it seems like consumer product designers never used them. In this case, they shouldn't force customers to figure out how things work. If I didn't want to deal with returns, I would. Shame, although the thoughtless neck and pocket design could have been a lot better. The result was an uncomfortable experience. I wouldn't recommend this product unless you have an extra pair of hands to hold things in place while trying to complete the setup.
