I bought this trimmer about a month ago and up to now, it's been great. I did not expect the power to use with a saw attachment but it cut small trees with ease. I only wish I could find the correct bike handle for this model.
80v Trimmer - ran longer than me, but no trigger lock

I had a 4 AH battery from our lawn mower charged and ready to go, so put the trimmer together and put it to work. I was a little dismayed that after 1 hour on 14" setting and lower speed the trimmer was still going strong, and I was getting tired. I increased the speed to setting '2', hoping to run the battery down. At 1.5 hours the trimmer was still going, and I had to put it away. My biggest complaint is I could not find a trigger lock setting. I definitely would like to have been able to relax the trigger grip - that is the primary reason I had to give up.
My previous spool cover lasted an extensive amount of time and through a lot of damage. Was very worried about replacing but the new one was a perfect fit and felt even stronger than the last!
Hard to believe that a battery powered string trimmer and leaf blower could be so powerful but the Greenworks tag team is it !!!!! Love them and looking forward to some of the other products such as the hedge trimmer and cultivator to make my yard work more simple.......
The bump cap and the spoole cover are both plastic and not as durable as a metal bump cap so be gentle with your trimmer. A few scrapes against the driveway and sidewalk and the entire assembly tends to grind down and fall apart very quickly.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

So far, so good. Unlike most gardeners, I am working a 20-acre small ranch. My weed-eating duties are around a zillion trees, veggie boxes, under livestock fences, etc., beyond the lawn mower requirement of suburban homes. It is working!!! And, I got a blower to finish up. Just wish my blower had a vacuum feature to handle loads of thick, heavy oak leaves.
In order to operate this tool, you need to hold two buttons at the same time(as is the same with all trimmers of different brands), but one of the bottons is sort of aiming sideways, and the other is uncomfortably offset. I have long fingers and big hands and its still uncomfortable for me to hold both buttons down at the same time. If not for this design oddity, I would give it 5 stars. I wish the buttons would be aligned better!
