A very handy kit!

An excellent kit for light duty yard work. Only problem is replacement line for the trimmer. .055 line is impossible to find in the U.S. and with a single strand doing the trimming it runs out quickly. Any suggestions?
Well, it's another very decent tool, or I'd rather say tools, from Sun Joe.
First, the least impressive one, the edge trimmer. Outside from a weird vibration from the plastic roller and the thin cutting wire, it does the job better than some reviews mention. You won't clear a forest with this one but it can easily remove the unwanted weed from around the house easily. The inclining head is perfect to set it at your favorite angle. Wire feeding is automatic and seems to work well.
The mini-chainsaw is surprising. It really does the job and it's more than sufficiently powerful. The chain quality is not at the level of the dedicated Sun Joe chainsaws but it's not important here.
The edge trimmer is awesome. This thing cuts! The blades are super sharp and cut easily branches that I thought would jam it. It is more than sufficiently powerful. The head can incline at many common angles, allowing you to properly shape your hedges.
On top of this, there is the very sturdy pole. A very well placed padding eases the grip. The optional handle (provided with the kit) can be installed for a better grip. The pole can be lengthened by about 3 feet using the mid-section tube. This one is metallic. The construction seems very sturdy (only time will tell).
The kit comes with a 2.0 Ah 24v battery. I was able to trim the grass and perform several cuts on bushes using less than 50% of it. Seems very decent. If you have other 24v Sun Joe batteries (like for the very good 24V-X2-17LM lawn mower), you can run for a very long time.
Be aware that with the tools on the elongated pole, you need some additional elbow grease to maintain the whole thing in the air. And as always, STAY CLEAR FROM THE ELECTRICAL WIRES!
I removed a star because of the edge trimmer plastic guard that could be sturdier and the sub-par charger included. I just don't get why Sun Joe keeps providing dumb chargers when they do have the proper ones (for few $ more).
I purchased this product back in 6-28-2019, I just love it, easy to put the tools together and light to handle the work I need to do. I'm glad to have ordered this, thank you Sun Joe.
Great system. I used the hedge trimmer for about an hour on and off and the battery was still 2/3's charged. The trimmer had lots of power and cut thru larger branches. Better than my plug in electric trimmer and the weight is much better. Great Product.....
was about to purchase a new weed wacker, and rent a tree pruner....saw this product by chance and realized it was a great deal! the pruner is easy to use and powerful, weed wacker is also powerful and easy to handle Hedge trimmer again was powerful and easier to handle once you make the handle shorter for better control Better life is great and allowed me to use for the entire afternoon without losing strength I definitely recommend this product
This is a Good set. Not hard to figure out. It's a little heavy for this 65 yr woman. Battery lasts a decent time length, around 1hr. Wish there was a way to make it a little shorter but the extension pole is nice if needed.
