Summary: Great small tool!
Review: This is a very useful little tool. ..I read all of the previous reviews before buying and went ahead and bought with a few reservations.

I can honestly say that all of the negative comments previously posted turned out to be false in my case.

The battery charges easily and has plenty of run time for most jobs. It does run down quicker when cutting heavy shrubs, but common sense dictates that such a job requires more power.

There is a safety switch to turn it on, but once on, you can release the safety switch and trim away.

I find the blades to be as sharp as one would expect, but I did get the grass shears into a bit of dirt and expect that to effect their longterm sharpness. I apply a light oiling after every charge.

I really like the charging station, and the lithium battery. ..There is a bit of a dilemma over what to do with the extra greasy head when not in use, but the light weight and common sense engineering far outweigh any weak points.

...All in all, a product worth recommending to others.

Summary: Wonderful Tool
Review: I use this trimmer to trim bushes and have no plans to use the grass cutting attachment. This tool does just what it designed to do...cut SMALL NEW and LIGHT growth. It is not designed for heavy cutting...which is no problem for me. I am very pleased with how it works. Some people have mentioned that they did not like the trigger safety switch...however I got used to it very quickly and find no problem with it.

My use for this trimmer is to keep up with the rapid light new growth on some of my small bushes. In Florida...things tend to grow while you watch them it seems. There are 115 bushes of all kinds in my yard...and not being physically able to take care of them completely any longer...it is necessary to call in the landscapers (which is not cheap) to maintain them. However...to keep the landscapers from having to come too often I got this trimmer to take care of some of the new growth...which is a weekly task here in the Summer.

Because this trimmer is so lightweight I can easily do that kind of work myself. Sure beats having to use those big hand hedge trimmers and I can do the same amount of trimming work with the Skil trimmer in LESS time that it took me to do with the hand hedge trimmer.

I have run the trimmer for well over a 1/2 hour with no discharge problem...and the battery usually fully charges in about 3 hours. The only thing I was a bit disappointed in is that it appears that the battery replacement (when needed) cannot be done without taking the trimmer to a Skill repair shop. However...it should last a long time and I will cross that bridge when I come to it.

Some factors influencing my purchase were the Skil name and the fact the battery is Lithium Ion.

I HIGHLY recommend this tool for light duty work.

Summary: Good Product
Review: Works great! Light and easy to use. My sister liked it so much she is going to purchase one. Just have to read the spec for how thick a stem can be in order for this product to cut it. I would recommmend this product to everyone.
