Craftsman 22 in. Electric Hedge Trimmer —

Trimmer was powerful and did a great job cutting through thick hedges. What I don't like is that it requires the operator to depress two buttons (one with each hand) for it to run. It makes it awkward to cut angles and tight spaces and is ergonomically uncomfortable and causes fatigue on the left hand. I know this is a safety feature but it just became very annoying and made me want to return it to the store after about an hour of trimming.
