My wife forced me into purchasing this "electric tool" If you don't cut though the extension cord you have your self one great yard tool. Both my wife and I are satisfied with our purchase decision.

This tool makes any brush clearing or hedge trimming job a snap! I highly recommend the purchase, and you can't beat the price.
