This Green Thumb Shear/Shrubber M1E-LD-200M/7.2 is the best ones we have ever owned , we have gone through several other name brands, having to buy a new one every other year and they wouldn't even cut clover, this pair cuts every weed,it is light weight and runs at least twice as long as the other ones we have owned, we wish we found and bought this one first. The 7.2v Lithium-Ion battery really makes the difference.

I have a small yard in Colorado, but I have severe arthritis and bending or lifting is Hell on my spine. The extension handle was a prime reason for choosing this unit. The other was the Nicad 7.2 rechargeable battery. Both work just fine. The unit can be used hand-held but, as noted, I need the extension handle. I'd never heard of Great States Corporation, but I have had bad experiences with Black & Decker and Sun Joe, so I decided to try it.
Assembly is a snap. Literally. Just unscrew the yellow locking cap to allow extending the pole (you will need to extend it a few inches in order to snap the mechanism in place even if you later want to shorten the length of the pole.) Slide forward the small lock at the base of the pole, press the cutter into place and slide the lock back. Done. Now snap the wheels in place (there are three wheel holes at about 1/4" spacing so you can choose your height setting.) Plug the power cord into the connecter on the pole and, as soon as you charge the battery - a 4-5 hour job, you are ready to go.
Most complaints about trimmers like this (and I read the reviews on all of the competing makes before deciding on this one)mention a lack of power. That's one reason I wanted a 7.2 v battery. But these things are not designed for heavy-duty cutting. Grass and light shrubbery cut just fine. If you need to cut dried or woody stuff, get something else. If you have matted or thick underbrush, the Great States will do it, but you will need to take several short in-and-out passes instead of expecting to chop everything down at once. Repeat. This is a light-duty unit. Again, if you have thick brush or weeds with thick stalks, take a couple of short passes at them.
Trimming and edging are simple. Just roll along as it clips happily away. The blade angle can be adjusted to suit your needs. The instructions say to remove from the pole and hand-hold the trimmer when cutting above ground level, but I had a few weeds growing up my fence and lifting the pole for a few moments caused no problem. In fact, I haven't yet used it as a hand-held with the included 6" shrub trimmer blade.
Cleaning with a soft cloth is recommended and occasional use of light oil (I'll use the same stuff that I use for my beard trimmer.) A snap on cover is supplied for the blade(s) when not in use.
I am very happy with this purchase.

I have tried it with both the grass cutter and the bush trimmer.
It works great.
Use it for what it was intended - Grass and light bush trimming (Example: new growth on hedges).
For saving the back - GREAT.
For the money - Can't be beat.

WONDERFUL!
This trimmer is even better than advertised. I'm a semi-old kinda crippled-up single woman, and this little tool is a miracle. Read more

Not much power
I got this to do some trimming around bushes so that I could get closer than a string trimmer and not damage the bush. The grass shears will only cut grass. Read more

Broke right away
I bought this item and used it twice. Battery won't hold a charge, no power and the company has been difficult to deal with regarding a return for refund. Read more
