There are two different 42" lawn sweepers on the Sears web site:
Model# 24222 (Craftsman 42 in. High Speed Sweeper) and model #24237
(Craftsman 42 in. Tow Sweeper). The latter is $30 more than the
former. I can't tell the difference between the two from the
specifications. Is there something that I'm missing?
The links for the two pages a

Can anyone help me out?
Thanks in advance!!

I don't know if Craftsman lawn care products are as terrible as the
rest of the tools today but if they are I would avoid them like the
plague. With that said there are many brands on the market that are
higher quality and lower cost than the Sears crap. Shop around,
you'll be glad you did.

Almost all, if not all, the sweepers I've seen are made by MTD and
just get different colors and branding.


Sounds about like the entry-level snow blowers sold at the big-boxes.
You look at the stamped parts, and they mostly are identical.
