Bought one last year. Works great. I had all the attachments, blower, pole saw, hedge trimmer already for a Toro gas. Nice to now have battery and gas option. Gas is great for somethings. more power, but a lot more to maintain. Love I can trim and still hear at the same time. Just bought a crosscut mower and 18 inch chain saw. Now have tons of batteries and chargers. But great products. Actually look forward to cutting the lawn. So much nicer than gas.
The fast charger is good for a 40-minute 4Ah recharge, though I hope it doesn't shorten the battery life significantly. Lithium prefers a slow charge rate for a long life
Just got this. Works well, but disappointed there was no hanger cap for the trimmer attachment and the line blade was not at all sharp, despite the tape over it!
A little trick I use. I turn my attachment head sideways and click into one of the side holes and ya don’t have to finesse the handle. If that makes any sense.
I just got this trimmer as well and am thinking of getting the blower attachment. I was wondering what position the power switch was in when using the blower low or high?

Thanks for confirming that you can use the lawn mower battery on the trimmer.
bought one in may 2022. it's a beast. took it out after a heavy rain and it cut right through thigh high grass...

The 40v HP also comes with the Rapid Charger. The standard 40v brushless comes with the regular charger.
Good point.

I use it on the high setting.
just wondering what would be the best way to hang this up in the Garage wall?
