I appreciate the fact that you showed to tool being used in real yard work, instead of the nonsensical trimming of a few 4 inch tall strands of grass along a 5ft stretch of wall like most of the other people absurdly calling themselves reviewers of this String Trimmer. Have a great day.
Great video as I have all Rigid tools and batteries I am interested in one. Regarding the speeds you said it was a 2 speed and a bareable speed on top of that,, what did you mean by that, cheers.
Variable speed in that speed is regulated by how far you pull the trigger in. Two speed in that low setting only goes so fast and that high setting gives you maximum speed.
Almost the same as the ryobi, same handle same spool head same guard same trigger section, only thing that seams different is the motor section, ryobi is 40v 4ah and half the price
That bog down is really bad. And wow did it ever slow down when you hammered it down and it tried to cut the remaining string off. What were they thinking for this? It seems to have just pure speed more then torque to control the low speed down. But it seems to cut well with it's fast speed. But maybe next test is try something more compact and denser to see how well it'll handle thicker and more clumped up stuff. Stuff that's more squeezed closer to itself like taller grass and weeds. That'd be a good video to show how well it'll handle much tougher stuff then a light load of semi tall grass.
I have since returned it. Though it may be perfect for a great many people, it wasn't right for my needs, given the terrain I deal with and need for longevity regarding the battery life. One thing that would help is a trigger lock.
