We have a pretty big hedge around my yard. For the last 6 years I have used a little electric hedge trimmer to keep this thing maintained. When trimming the top of the hedge, I was at considerable risk as I was at the top of my step ladder laying across 6 feet of hedge trying to get an even swing. I saw the Troy Bilt attachment series at Lowes a while ago and bought the weed eater and edger attachments and had longed for this work saver for quite a while.
When I stated liquidating my skateshop on Ebay I made this my first prize for meeting goals. I am so glad. I unwrapped the extension on Saturday morning and used it until my arms would not lift anymore. I finished up the next day. Realistically I had a whole summer's worth of growth taht would have taken me the whole weekend with my old trimmer and only tokk a few hours with the new attachment.
Yeah it's heavy, but I could use the work out. Another bounus is ther is no extension cord following me around. I did my entire hedge with two tanks of gas.
