We have the blower and weed trimmer attachments. Very good for small jobs. However the safety switches are prone to not making good contact. Have bypassed two and now the third is not working. 100.00 for a new handheld. I would not purchase unless you have an electrical degree.

I purchased this with the hedge trimmer attachment to replace my old electric one because I hate dealing with extension cords when trimming and didn't want yet another gasoline engine to maintain.

I really miss the locking feature I had on the electric trimmer as my hand starts to cramp after awhile from having to hold the trigger constantly. Also, if you let go to change positions, it's a bit of a pain to have to engage the safety switch again and again. It is pretty convenient, but the switch design leaves something to be desired....
