HART 20-Volt Cordless Hybrid 12-inch String Trimmer/Edger Kit (1) 2.0Ah Battery

I have a small yard so this was an interesting tool to work with. I have used other edgers and trimmers but none that were cord free. so that was a great plus right out of the box. It's fairly lightweight about 6 and 1/2 lb and pretty easy to handle. It's nice that you can swivel the handle in order to change the angle of the trimmer. I've only used once but it was a lot of fun it made me want to go look for things to trim and Edge! LOL

Assembly and knowledge of operation required some reading of the provided manuals. Assembly took about 1/2 hour, and battery required charging before use. Installation of the front handle took some force, about 15 lbs to snap in; keep fingers clear. It was difficult to slide the handle up and down the shaft for adjustment. Manuals were available online in PDF format for paperless documentation. Lacks an edge guide, not needed for edging but would be helpful if that were an option. Weight about 5 pounds. If string is half inch or more too long, the cutter will not cut the string, so it has to be snipped off first; then the head will spin fast enough to cut the string. It has both a 12 and 10 inch setting. The default 12 inch is adequate for trimming. The 10 inch setting might be used for thicker cutting, since the head would spin faster. The string is automatically advanced when trigger is pulled, so it is required to run the unit full speed until more string is needed. This is a nice feature, since it is not necessary to bang the head for string advancement. Overall the unit works as advertised.
