It felt ok, would really like to snip some grass, but as I would only be using it on maintained lawns I think it would be ok.
I did run the blower as well , I thought it was better than the stihl , smaller in size and felt more powerfull than the stihl.
I am ready to buy both but the guy said they are waiting for the better batteries which should be here soon, so I will hang out for them.
I also ran the long reach hedger, and to be honest it didn't blow me hair back , I don't think it was that much noticeably better than the stihl hla 65 , and the stihl comes with a tip protector, would have to try it in the field to really give an accurate opinion , but looks like that aint gunna happen
