Did a very very long upper chest/neck height hedge today early morning that had gone feral since the I did it end of Nov on a luxury home. The battery extended hedger was just brilliant. I had to get in behind the hedge and hard up against the rendered house using the hand held petrol 60cm hedger to ensure no chipping to the render. then one experienced the WTF feeeling, oil, vibration, pull cord, heavy, noise, idle noise and I felt using it was a trip back to Henry's T Model Ford days. LOVED the extended battery hedger.
Now the next story, pick up the demo Battery Whipper at lunch time. OMG. I'm buying one tomorrow, its just that simple.
There's 3 things though, it has the smaller T25 head and you need the to keep the whipper cord long for usage similar to the petrol T 35 heads. Second, every time its turns off it restarts in clockwise. Can it be programmed to start anti clockwise automatically.
Also the wide guard suitable for left/right spin is too wide to fit in my trailer side upright tool box. The 525LST guard fitted to the battery unit will fit in but not as safe in clockwise spin. Can it be locked in anti clockwise spin, I have no manual.
But I'm buying it, due bugger all weight, minimal noise on my left ear and for customer low noise, its just works and I love it. Wondering too, if anyone has put a larger T35 head on it to give the longer cord length in operation. Questions for the dealer tomorrow.
I can feel a battery short hedger becoming apart of my gear. But for the home model, as the Contractor one is toooo wide in the massive handle to fit in the said tool box width wise. With the ease of instant start/fold out operation with the extended model, the home model would not get as much work as the current petrol hand held I use me thinks. Yep aware the cutting length is shorter than the contractor model.
Edit and no I'm not on facebook and don't have account re using OMG & WTF, but I did refrain from using, it's amazing.
