Edge button sticks

Started on day 1 of using this and the edger button sticks down. The head will not lock into a usable position. Calling customer support to see if there is an easy way for me to fix this but I steadfastly believe that this should not have occurred on day 1.
I have not used battery-powered lawn tools before. The performance of the string trimmer and blower is about as expected and OK for a small residential property. The small "cell phone" looking charger is cheap and doesn't lock to battery. I recommend you get a kit with the large charger, or otherwise figure out the most economical way to get the big 29862 charger to use with your 24V tools, as you will be more satisfied.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hello Johnny Deere
Thank you for taking the time to post your experience for this Greenworks 24V 12" String Trimmer + 330 CFM Axial Blower Combo.
A higher voltage battery does not provide additional runtime; it offers more power and torque. Each voltage platform has its own set of interchangeable tools and batteries but is not interchangeable across different voltage platforms.
A larger amp hour (Ah) will provide more run time, and you can use a larger amp hour battery in the G-24 24v voltage platform to increase run time.
If you would like to purchase an additional charger please do not hesitate to reach out to us at 888-909-6757 or visit our website at www.greenworkstools.com to order replacement parts.
Have only used the tools once, but they seemed to do the job well. The trimmer was easy to work with and light. The blower nozzle felt abit cheap, but having not used one before I don't know if that is normal. It doesn't have alot of power but is good for removing the grass and dry soil from the patio. The battery lasted long enough for my small area and it really does charge quickly (less than 30 min). But I was disappointed that the 24V battery with these tools was a different 24V battery from my other greenworks tool. In the descriptions online it only indicates that the battery is a 24v lithium ion battery, not that it is different from other 24v lithium ion batteries by the same company. It did say 24v max on the box, but again it had images of the other tools I had. My dad bought a trimmer that looks the exact same as the one I have, but is apparently different, because the battery is interchangeable with my hedge trimmer. So be very careful at checking the model number and battery of each piece of equipment you buy. They have models of each tool that uses each of the different batteries, even though they seem identical. I am very disappointed that the batteries are not the same and can't be interchanged.
