Just replaced this trimmer with Milwaukee M12FHT20. Reason being weak motor which jammed persistently if trimming even slightly thicker materials. Hopless on ivy. Also slip clutch trips in all the time. Milwaukee trimmer is quite a bit heavier however manages cutting everything up to 1/4 inch thick without jamming. They advertise up to 3/4" (20mm) but blade feed guard only alows stems up to 1/4" thick to be cut, so don't believe their advertising. They both work out at around same price if you look around. Mine cost £155 including 1x 2ah battery, 1 x 4ah battery, charger and trimmer and delivery. There is no grass trimmer attachment. It's like comparing chalk and cheese. Stilh make some great products however this is not one of them.
@@WesternEquipmentThis phrase originated in the 13th century in the United Kingdom. There was a shopkeeper who often adulterated his goods just to make some profit. So sometimes, he swapped cheese for chalk, thus saving some cheese for himself and no one would be the wiser.
Hi. I have clumping bamboo, which is so tedious to cut with clippers. Which would you suggest for cutting that, the HSA26 hedge trimmer shown in this video, or the GTA 26 mini chain saw? Thanks.
I can say that on some of the heavier branches it would struggle a bit. It is definitely meant for the time of hedges and shrubs that you see here. Thanks for watching!
