This lightweight trimmer is extremely easy to use: just pull it out of the shed, check if the string is loaded, attach the battery, and you are good to go without any power cords, oil mixing, or spark plug cleaning.
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.
Because of the adjustable shaft height, you can optimize the trimmer to a comfortable level, avoiding unnecessary back pain. However, due to its short length, it may no be very suited for tall users.
You can use batteries from other Black & Decker tools that use 40V lithium-ion elements, allowing you to swap batteries between tools whenever necessary.
Hitachi offers a seven-year limited warranty, so if it gets defective within that time, you can take it to a service center near you to have it repaired for free (as long as user error didn't cause the damage). Also, the shaft has a lifetime warranty against rust.
The anti-vibration system of this trimmer reduces the tiring effect to your hands that's caused by vibrations, when you use the trimmer for an extended period.
Since this trimmer has a two-stroke engine, you have to mix gas and oil before filling up the trimer. Not everyone likes this process, because spills and the smell of gasoline are almost unavoidable. On top of that, it requires maintenance like regularly changing or cleaning the spark plug and the air filter.
This trimmer can replace a variety of other instruments, if you have the right accessories: it can be used as a leaf blower, hedge trimmer, edger, and brush cutter. This can save you money in the long run.
Because of the lightweight design and curved shaft, it is easy to reach tight spots while working with this trimmer. The bent shaft also allows you to see the rotating head much better.
Since this is a two-stroke trimmer, you can’t just pull the string and hope that it starts. First of all, it requires a mixture of gas and oil to run. Additionally, you need to pump the mixture to the carburetor to start it.
