EXTRA REACH AND PERFECT BALANCE

4 star rating

This is a great tool The extra 2-4" will make a huge difference when you are trying to reach the back side of that hedge or hanging from a ladder and topping a tall bush. It feels faster, easier and safer all around, even if you are only doing small jobs. But the best feature of this trimmer is it's perfect balance - at any angle. The reason is the new design with extended trigger grip that puts the center of balance where it belongs (in the middle grip). Hold it in one hand and compare it with any other model, you will feel it right away. It's far easier to control and feels lighter than models weighing less. That extended trigger grip also adds another 4" or so to your overall reach, making it work more like a 28" trimmer. The noise of high speed trimmer is still there - but not the vibration. Weaknesses? None really. It may not cut thick material as cleanly as a 4 amp model, but still performs great. The center grip does not adjust angle - it does not need to. The polarized plug is a little hard to hook up right because the prongs are very recessed in a protective cap. I did not see any markings that would help. I would love to see clear safety covers included with all trimmers, to aid in storage. None seem to have them. Overall, I'm glad I spent a little extra to get this model, even if I only take it out a few times a year. It saved me time and energy and seems much safer to use.
