Powerfull! [Posted on 2008-05-02]
This baby's got some power! I got it the other day and I must say that I'm impressed. I had always used electric in the past and I have barrowed a gas one a time or two. But I moved into a new townhouse this winter and it doesn't have a garage, so I did not want to deal with the mess and hassle and smell of having gas in the basement and all that.
It is easy to use, I charged up the battery the night I got it and Saturday morning I popped in the battery and squeezed the trigger and off I went. I'm tall, so I was happy to see the shaft extends out so I don't have to bend over all the time. Nice! I had to get used to the veriable speed trigger. My old did not have that.
I must admit I was lazy this spring and let a few weeks go by before I got around to the lawn, so the grass was pretty tall. In the corner the grass was still wet from the rain the night before, but this thing tore right through it. With the wet grass and the power of this thing it was like turning the grass into a green smoothie. (note, wear long pants!)
The other thing that I had to get used to was bumping for additional line. One firm bump and the line returns to full cutting. I was just used the automatic feed on my old one (again, my lazy ways). But I like this now because I don't have to wait for the string trimmer to feed the line.
It was actually kind of fun to use, it cuts so much and so fast. Now I need my neighbor to give it back to me before this Saturday rolls around.
I'm glad I pulled the trigger to get this. I'm not the biggest eco-ranger in the world, but I guess this makes me a little greener and kind of off-sets my pick-up truck. Well, that is my my story anyway, atleast until I go hard core and install field turf!
