I've owned mine for about 6 years; agree with most of what you say, they're a good little unit. However, they aren't strong enough to tackle the heavier branches that the Stihl HS45 will. Having said ... Read more
that, they do a far better job on fine hedges than the Stihl does. Horses for courses!
