I like your videos. Maybe you should also say what market this lovely piece of kit is NOT designed for. That would help and sound more unbiased. Keep on doing what your doing
Have one of these and main problem is motor is weak, especially when using hedge/shrub trimming attachment. At best it feels like the battery is half flat when fully charged. Also clutch is weak resulting in constant stopping of blades as soon as there is any moderate load. It's a shame really because Stihl make quality tools. This looks nice, but sadly completely lacks grunt. Expensive for what it is. Although Milwaukee don't do a grass attachment for this one handed device, they do have a range of alternatives with more power. Price varies a lot, so well worth typing in cheapest price to get a good deal for something professional...
I would strill ratrher try to trim some corners and uncomfortable spots of small hedges or shrubs etc instead also with this blade dedicated originally for the grass.
26 amp/hrs? very impressive, most manufacturers need a backpack to hold anything like that. After the initial charge i doubt you would need to charge it again in your life time.
That was a fantastic nobullshit video very impressed I will be getting one of those for definite what do you put on your grass to get it so beautiful and green I always think my grass is very good I spend quite a lot of times in the garden have you got a video keeping your grass like you do
What is the advantage of this over a pair of shears? Shears give a cleaner cut with greater control, and you still have to go down on hand and knees when using this tool. Can't see the point.
@@TheFullyChargedGardener Gosh! There is an "International Creative Stripes Competition" ? Who knew. Excuse my ignorance, as a (mostly) non gardener. Hope u did well. Your video caught my eye as today I bought a 20v Aldi-Ferrex hand sheers & 20cm trimmer combo. Impulse buy as the price attracted me, reduced to 15 euro. Comes with pole extension too. No battery or charger but have 5amp batteries & charger already. Seem like very useful tools for finer, more delicate work. Your video taught me a lot, thank you.
😀 I actually won the competition with my lawn pattern that year - I have a video of it on my channel. It is always great to get nice comments like yours. Thank you 😀
Andy Lawrence Allett mowers hold a creative stripes competition every year. I have entered quite a few times - never been good enough to win. You should check it out & enter 😀
Adrian G Eyre A lot of people get down on their hands & knees to clear the clippings from the edges. Much in the same way - if you are in the border weeding - you could trim the lawn edge as you go. As I mentioned in the video - a great alternative for those who don’t want to use a strimmer 😀
@@TheFullyChargedGardener hahaha 😅 there a hand tool for it as well it's called edging shears lol. Sorry l like most Stihl tools but this one not selling it's self for me. I normally blow them away if there is a lot.
Adrian G Eyre I’m not sure if there is one available for this HSA 26, but they did have an extension shaft for the 25, great for the hedges, not so great for the trimming of lawns. But it’s supplied with wheels, so they intend on it getting used for that. :)
Adrian G Eyre Some people like to clear the clippings as they go. That is the beauty of choice - their are machines out there to suit different styles of gardening.
Hi, These are the gloves I have been using. www.stihl.co.uk/STIHL-Products/Personal-Protective-clothing-equipment/Gloves/21725-1541/schutzhandschuhe-dynamic-vent.aspx
Perfect around the chicken run to save spooking the chickens and ripping the wire with the trimmer line. Another nice bit of kit 👌
I'm always THRILLED when I see a new video, concise yet in depth. Thanks :)
You tried the J3 model?
Thanks man I have 156 Acres and I really think This will help with Mowing
Only 156 acres - You will have it done in no time!
Just bought one, thanks for the video 👍👍
Thank you for watching 😀
very helpful (and relaxing) video! will go grab one! thanks!
Cool - Thank you for watching 👍

Sharpening the blades? Seems like it should be similar to sharpening hedge trimmer blades? Great video again and all the best with the competition 🤞🏽

I did goof up on my numbers with the amp hrs. The battery is 2.6 amphrs.
But I did give the accurate run time.
Thank you for watching.
Very heplful video. Do you think it would work to trimm the grass that grows close to the wall?
Is this a new model ? I have oldee. I fink so
That was a fantastic nobullshit video very impressed I will be getting one of those for definite what do you put on your grass to get it so beautiful and green I always think my grass is very good I spend quite a lot of times in the garden have you got a video keeping your grass like you do
Maxicrop liquid feed is great for lawns. I use it a lot.
thank you for watching.
Very nice video! I support you.😉🔔🔔

Just gives people another option.
I think I might strap a guinea pig to the handle of my broken trowel instead 🤔
Jack D Sounds like a fantastic idea! Let me know how that goes.
For the less able but need to get on your hands and knees? Looks like a lot of effort
Hi, there is a long handle available.
@6:30..what's the big secret re the pattern on the grass?
I filmed this before I had submitted my entry for the international creative stripes competition 👍

@@TheFullyChargedGardener Fantastic, well done...I will look up that video
alternative to a strimmer,dont be rediculous
pheasant plucker Almost as ridiculous as your UA-cam name 🤣
👌👌👌😉
Looks good, what competition are you entering?
Andy Lawrence Allett mowers hold a creative stripes competition every year. I have entered quite a few times - never been good enough to win. You should check it out & enter 😀
The Fully Charged Gardener thanks will check it out.
But will it work on hair?
I'm buying one.
🤣 Not advisable to use it as a hair trimmer
What is the difference between HSA 26 and the 25?
would be half ok if you didn't have to be on your hands and knees to use it

To bad it doesn't have a long handle attachment.
It does now 😀
What gloves do you use in your videos?
Hi, These are the gloves I have been using. www.stihl.co.uk/STIHL-Products/Personal-Protective-clothing-equipment/Gloves/21725-1541/schutzhandschuhe-dynamic-vent.aspx
How much
The RRP in the uk is £119 - I recommend checking with your local STIHL dealer for prices. Thank you for watching
I use to trim with manual scissors for this backbone the 80s. I wonder if they still make them?
I’m sure they do
@@TheFullyChargedGardener they do. Found them on Amazon
