Converts into an edging tool
With a quick turn of the shaft, the trimmer can quickly become an edger, complete with height guard to keep your edges even. Additionally, a built-in guide helps to keep the edge straight and even. It flips up out of the way when the unit is in trimming mode. Versatility like this eliminates the need to buy another tool just for edging.

Battery life is limited
In typical conditions, the trimmer will last almost half an hour, but if you use it at full power non-stop, it will last only around 15 minutes.

Adjustable to the most comfortable shaft height
