   bkmatthews – 17 October 2020

   I had a Honda brush cutter for 15 years. I’m 67 now and it’s just too heavy and I’ve moved to a village on 1/4 acre, I have the DeWalt drill, my fav tool, so I had the batteries.
   The instructions are AWFUL. Even the professional on youtube had problems. BUT once you get it together, wow, so easy and flexible. Then I ran out of line – hmm, didn’t last long. I took it apart and the line was in a knot – plenty left. So youtube showed me how EASY it is to rewind. It will take minutes to do it from now on.
   LOVE IT!! LOVE IT!! LOVE IT!!
   PS – it had a screw (literally) missing and Toolmart and DeWalt have jumped through hoops to get me the screw! Awesome. (And I’m not the easiest to please.)

   Instructions to put it together are absent, so you are left to your own devices to figure out how to put it together when you take it out of the box. (Thank god for YouTube!)
   Nowhere near as powerful as my 12 year old Honda UMK435 (which is having motor/carburettor problems at the moment), but still gets the job done with a bit of patience.
   The line loading mechanism and bump feed are fantastic. Definitely a step up from my previous brush cutters. (Again, you will have to jump on YouTube to learn how to load the line as the instructions are awfully lacking).
   Its a shame it didn’t come with a harness, as my forearm gets tired/sore after about 45 minutes of brush cutting. Combined, my 4 amp hour + 5 amp hour batteries last about an hour of serious brush cutting. By then I am ready to pack it in for the day.
   Overall a great piece of kit, especially for the back yard. Can do some serious farm work, but don’t expect it to match the performance of a 4-stroke petrol brush cutter.
