    Your video scared me to death at 6:10 with the tornado siren. It's midnight here and thunderstorming in southwest ohio. Had to rewind and rewatch to make sure it was on the video and not outside. Made my heart jump. I just bought the same trimmer and can't wait to use it.

      @@keithmcmullen9737 I was talking about the foam mid handle. Instead of the foam handle angled down towards the head, I turned it around so it’s angled towards the battery. If you look at the foam handle in this video it’s angled towards the battery. Every other photo that I’ve seen they have the foam handle angled towards the head.
      Hope this helps, if not I will try to explain it a different way.

    How do you extend the cord when it wears down? The owners manual says you bump it on the ground and it extends automatically. Thats a fail. I took it off and the cord is not factory wound in a way to automatically feed. Its over lapped. I had to manually unwrap one revolution off each side and re-thread, which leaves the cord about an inch too long and it hit the guard. So I cut that inch off each side to make it fit. Am I missing something? Pleas demonstrate how to extend the cord when it wears down please. Aloha

    Thanks for the review. I was looking at the DeWalt 40v Max trimmer - have you tested that one? A bit on the heavy side. Interesting to see the lower voltage units holding their own. I think Milwaukee may be closing in on the sweet spot with their upcoming 18v trimmer that appears to have massive power and long run time in a unit that's less than 10 pounds with battery. I'd like to see more brands doing this. The high voltage units are getting way too heavy and suffer in run times, just for the high number on the voltage meter, but these guys are showing that lower voltage units can be optimized for the sweet spot.
