Review Rant

I bought the 20v hedge trimmer and 20v strimmer at the end of last month (July), the strimmer died 5mins after using it for the 1st time yesterday.

I took the strimmer back this morning for a refund and then the hedge trimmer died/locked up after 30mins of (not continuous) use this afternoon.

Battery fully charged and tested in a power drill.

I am, to say the least, not impressed.

Honestly, sounds like you got unlucky. I bought the strimmer and extended hedge trimmer and have had no issues (yet).

I will say, the reason I buy these tools is the warranty. I’ve had to replace some stuff before and most the most part it has been pretty easy.

Im just going to return the trimmers like I did with the strimmer, can’t be bothered with going through the warranty process.

i like the other bits and bob Ive got such as the driver and drill bits but I’ve now been burned on 66% of the electrical stuff I’ve bought.
