It works okay but I wish it was a bit more powerful.

Hi there. Thank you for your feedback on the SKIL LT4823B-10. We will pass your comments along to the appropriate team for additional review so we can improve in the future. Thank you!
I was faced with either buying a new battery and charger for my existing string trimmer or a new Skil unit. I wanted this unit to work since I have 5 other of the Skil PWR 20 hand products (Drill, Circular saw, jig saw, fan and sander) and lots of chargers! I am not disappointed. The unit works well and "tap" string advance is working as well.
Very powerful and fairly well balanced. Shaft is about 6 inches too long for me; I am 5 ft-8in tall. Line loading works well but I found that the line tangled inside the housing one time out of 8 uses.
Light weight and very sharp. Long lasting battery. Used approximately 40 minutes and battery was only about 3/4 depleted. Great product. Exceeded expectations.
