bought this convertible attachment along with the line trimmer (79177). we have a neighoring tree in our pool area in which the branches hang over our pool area. This brach trimmer I used to trim off the excess branches surrounding that tree area. To my surprize, this unit operated very much like a chain saw (other than it has a smaller chain since its not meant to be used with large objects). I was done pruning in about 25 minutes. Very easy to attach convertible boom attachment to my line trimmer and away I went!
