3.0 out of 5 stars Good, but it has an Achilles' Heel, October 7, 2003

I got the trimmer about 4 months ago. It worked great and I had no problems with it--until i got into a piece of woody plant among the weeds. The trimmer jammed, I unjammed it, and it has not worked properly since. The problem is that the drive mechanism is a strange plastic loop with an excentric cam-type drive. The plastic cam runs inside the plastic loop that rides freely in the blade and basically pushes the blade left and right. The oval plastic loop apparently got buggered just enough when it jammed that it now will not stay in place and the result is that the motor runs but the moving blade doesn't oscillate. Unfortunately, I'm having trouble figuring out how to return it, get repair work done, or anything like that so I may be stuck with a basically good device that doesn't work.

This order is the second pair I have purchased. This new pair is for an elderly relative, I also ordered the handle attachment for it for her. Before I gave that to her I tried it on my shears, that is probably going to be my next purchase. The shears are lightweight and they do hold their charge for at least 45 minutes.
