Built for overgrown areas where an ordinary mower struggles, the Remington RM1159 Walk-Behind String Trimmer combines a 159cc 4-cycle gas engine with a 22-inch cutting swath. Its offset cutting head reaches along fences, landscaping borders, and other obstacles, while large 14-inch ball-bearing wheels help the machine travel across rough and uneven ground.

The Remington RM1159 is a high-wheel gas string trimmer designed for property owners who regularly deal with tall weeds, heavy grass, rough edges, and vegetation in places that are inconvenient for a conventional lawn mower.

At the center of the machine is a 159cc 4-cycle OHV engine. Because it uses a four-cycle design, gasoline and engine oil are kept separate rather than requiring the operator to prepare a gas-and-oil fuel mixture.

A 22-inch cutting swath gives the RM1159 substantial coverage for clearing larger areas. The cutting head is offset from the main wheel path, allowing the trimmer line to reach closer to fences, retaining walls, garden borders, buildings, and other obstacles.

Large 14-inch ball-bearing wheels are an important part of the machine's high-wheel design. They help the trimmer roll across uneven surfaces and provide clearance when working through taller vegetation. The cutting height can also be adjusted to accommodate different trimming conditions.

For transportation or storage, the handle can be folded to reduce the amount of space required by the machine. A debris guard surrounds the cutting area to help control material thrown by the rotating trimmer line.

The RM1159 is particularly suited to property boundaries, fence lines, field edges, neglected sections of a yard, and other locations where the combination of a wide cutting path and wheeled platform can be more practical than carrying a handheld string trimmer.
