The tool is very easy to use, lighter than a gas trimmer, and as powerful. Unfortunately the 2Ah battery last only 25 minutes... Which makes it a nice tool but not perfect. Can’t wait for the 5Ah battery.
I've been using this trimmer for 3 years. I bought it primarily to save the time and hassle of using 150' of extension cord to trim my parents property. Dragging the cord around and re-routing it several times, it took just over an hour to trim everything. With this 80v Greenworks trimmer the time was reduced to about 35 minutes and I get it done with a single charge on the 2AH battery. The power is more than sufficient. Besides the usual trimming, I also use it to knock back ivy vines and other tougher plants with no issue. It's well balanced and the bump feed works well. The only shortcoming I have found is that the shield/deflector should be about twice as wide as it is(based on experience with others). My legs get covered with the clippings. So no shorts when trimming but otherwise it's been a pleasure to use and a great timesaver.
I got these as backup drills for my regular power tools, mainly because I like the ability to use the batteries from my drills in my lawn equipment. I was impressed with how lightweight these are as 24V drills compared with my 18V drills. Lighter weight means less fatigue when I'm on a job. From DIY to building projects, I have been amazed at the battery life these drills have. My one critique (which isn't even enough to drop a star) is that there is not on-tool holder for extra bits, which I have grown so accustomed to. I hope that Greenworks adds this feature in future models, as it is really helpful when going from drilling to driving. Definitely recommend this for the avid DIYer, home owner, builder, or hobbyist.
