For the price, this is a great after market hedge trimmer and l bought two of them. One fit perfectly on my Husqvarna gas trimmer with no modification. I have Echo trimmers as well (and as other users have stated) the hedge trimmer shaft does need some slimming to fit the Echo shaft. For residential use, you can't beat this product. I've also bought the pole saw attachment from this same company and it works great as well, again fitting my Husqvarna perfectly. A few things to know about the hedge trimmer: you have to keep the cutting blades lubricated during use or they will get too hot and stop working. I've found chain saw bar oil works well. More importantly is not exceeding the cutting capacity of the trimmer, which max is pencil width foilage. Doing so will bind the cutters and shut it down, so don't force it. The cutting head is equipped with grease zerks. While the unit has grease in it, l recommend adding some. Same holds true with the pole saw. I ran the hedge trimmer hard over the course of 3 days on a big job, and after figuring out the issues above, it performed flawlessly. My only con would be (as others have stated) is the weight of the cutter head. I am 6'3" and a physically fit 230 lbs, but this thing had my shoulders and biceps burning after a couple hours. Because the cutter head weight weighs more than the power head of the trimmer, it makes the machine unbalanced. This forces you to continually muscle up the cutter head. This sounds like a bigger complaint than it is because the performance outweighs any negatives, just man up and get the job done. It's just something to be aware if you're a weakling. I'm not sure of long term reliability, but it's already lasted a season and paid for itself after the first hour. This unit will likely not stand up to commercial use but for home use (as long as the tool is not abused) l highly recommend this trimmer.

I purchased this to use on my Husqvarna 128LD trimmer (which it fits perfectly). It cuts well, and as many other reviewers have pointed out, it isn't meant to cut anything much bigger around than say a pencil. It's totally perfect for keeping your hedges trimmed regularly and for light tree trimming duties. I was concerned about the quality and construction of this item, but it's clearly well built, well oiled, and looks like it will hold up well to regular use. I've been following the advice of another who purchased this, and he told me to keep it well lubricated (WD40 or similar on the blades) and ensure the attachment points have some grease on them as well. The ONLY thing I can find negative about this attachment is that it is a bit heavy. No, it's not 50 pounds, but if you are using it for more than 20-30 minutes, it starts to get a bit heavy, especially if you are extending it out above your head or farther away from your body. But that's a small price to pay for the value of this thing - which was less than half the cost of some name brand attachments that I was looking at - one brand was $110, the high end brand I found was $139. So this definitely was a value purchase. I'm assuming the weight of the bigger brands is comparable to this one, and if that's the case, you'd be crazy to pay more when you could get this one.

I bought this item because I have a lot of overgrowth to cut back. I have a Stihl HS-45 gas powered trimmer but as it is hand held and it would be too much bending and reaching to use. I honestly didn't know if any pole trimmer was going to do what I was going to ask anyway so I didn't want to spend $300-$500 on a Stihl or Husqvarna. I think I paid about $80 for this one. It did come in a box bearing a different brand name on it. I think it came as a "badger".I don't know how much the power head you are using comes into play but for reference, I am using this on a Ryobi Expand it power head. Obviously, my Stihl trimmer cuts thicker material with much less effort but I was pleasantly surprised how well this unit performed. I have seen reviews stating it is heavy. Well, put anything on the end of a four foot pole and it will get heavy sooner or later. It is certainly not unwieldy. I found myself cutting in 15-20 minute bursts. This was not because it was tiring to use, that's just the way my days went using it. This thing performed extremely well on weed grasses, vines and even pencil thick branches. It struggled a little with thicker stuff but did manage to cut through it.I had seen reviews stating the head gets hot after running it for a while. I haven't noticed that but I have been hitting the cutting head with WD-40 or PB Blaster before each use (like the directions say). I Do find the cutter head loosens from bar and needs to be tightened up a little. I put threadlock on it and keep an Alan key with me and haven't found it to be a real problem. Speaking of the cutting head, super easy to change the cutting position. Easy to change position 1 handed with no tools. I found myself using it much like a string trimmer cutting low to the ground by positioning the cutter head parallel to the ground. What a treat for my back.If you're a pro or super big brand loyal, of course you will have negative things to say about this product but I have been using (and abusing) this thing on my own property and on a farm with 15 years of overgrowth and creep to it. I wouldn't hesitate to buy this product again in a heartbeat. It has already saved my money, my back, my time and my energy. For $80, I'll take that all day long.

At the time of writing a review, this hedge trimmer is well priced for what you get. It is slightly shorter than competitors in blade length, but in my opinion that’s a plus. It makes the trimmer lighter and easier to handle.The trimmer is surprisingly well built for the money and as others have pointed out omits some sort of stopper on the drive shaft. Not the end of the world and a minor sacrifice compared to all the places where they didn’t skimp out.My unit came pretty well greased internally, but I did add a little. The gears are well made, the extension is aluminum, the articulation mechanism is very solid. The blades are as sharp as any other (they’re not razor blades) so there’s no knocking them there.Overall very well made, and better quality than I’d expected. Very easy to use because of its shorter blade length. For around the house, especially if you have a big hedge to trim this is a must have!

I bought this trimmer for my Ryobi 2-stroke Expand-It Power Head, others stated it would connect / fit, and it did. Removing the unit from the box, there was 1 loose screw that fell out, odd. The instructions booklet was partially ripped, but I was able to read it and figured out where that screw was to be placed and tightened. 1st time use worked great, it cut better than my original Ryobi hedge trimmer attachment, and this unit is longer / has a better reach. I had no issues trimming some pretty thick cedar branches, otherwise I used my chain saw attachment for those. Overall, for the price, I am currently happy, time will tell how long this unit will last.Not sure why others had issues, maybe there are some poorly assembled / made ones, seems I am lucky so far.

No le puse ninguna estrella, no por que sea malo el producto, por que no fue de la medida, el ancho del tubo, fue más chico, ósea que ni lo use, chequen bien antes de comprarlo, yo pregunté y me respondieron que si funcionaba. Asà que lo tiñe que devolver. Por su atención, gracias.
