Customer Reviews:
Excellent Machine
Very pleased with this purchase, great value, hard to believe this comes with a 7 year warranty! First things first, it is light-weight compared to my old Poulan. It's not feather weight, but for the power, I don't think it gets much better. I ran the machine for 45 minutes straight. (I have almost two acres of mostly trees and a lot of fencing). My arms were tired, but the fact I could run the machine that long without my arms falling off is remarkable. The engine and power transmission are very smooth with little vibration. You can set the unit down on the ground while running without it bouncing away. Throttle control is perfect and precise. You will be running this unit at half-throttle most of the time, unless you like stripping bark of your trees. String feeder works fine, I had to bump it a few extra times, but I was using the line that came with the machine. Note to self, order a spool of string, they only load with a few feet. I...

An efficient weed killer
I got this string trimmer to tackle a quarter-acre of weeds. I bought a house last Winter and the yard had not been cared for in over 2 years. The back is full of huge broad-leaf weeds with 2' roots and garlic-mustard plants. I bought the Hitachi based on its reputation for durability compared to the chain-store brands like Poulan, Weed Eater, Craftsman, and Troy-bilt. I've only had it for a month now, but it works great. This trimmer has no problem at all running for 90 minutes at a time and getting coated in weed juice. I definitely recommend wearing eye protection as this trimmer is easily powerful enough to fling chunks of weeds into your face. The .095 line is very durable and doesn't break when it hits the occasional rock or tree. The price may be high when you compare it to the cheaper entry-level models on Amazon, but with a 7-year warranty I think this trimmer will still be around when I finally whack my last 5-foot weed.

BEST TRIMMER I HAVE OWNED
I USED TO BUY THROW AWAY TRIMMERS EVERY FEW YEARS. THEY WERE LOUD, HARD TO START AND VIBRATED SIGNIFICANTLY. OUT OF THE BOX THIS TRIMMER STARTED IN TWO PULLS, ITS QUIET AND VERY SMOOTH, THE THROTTLE IS RESPONSIVE. YOU CAN FEEL THE QUALITY IN THIS MACHINE I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT I WAS MISSING. I HAVE A NUMBER OF HITACHI POWER TOOLS AND ALL HAVE BEEN EXCELLENT. THIS TRIMMER IS NO EXCEPTION. ALSO HITACHI OWNS TANAKA POWER TOOLS. TANAKA IS KNOWN FOR COMMERCIAL GRADE HIGH QUALITY. THIS TRIMMER IS THE SAME AS TANAKA TCG22EASSLP. LOOK AT THE FINE PRINT AT THE BOTTOM OF TANAKAS WEBSITE IT SAYS, HITACHI/KOKI. B. CIRULLO

07.02.12 @ 1:39 pm | No Comments

Mower

GARDENING equipment has been stolen in two burglaries which hit the same road in Chalfont St Giles over the last week.

The first burglary took place on Monday between 6.30pm and 10am the following day in Doggetts Wood Lane.

Entry was forced into a shed and gardening equipment was stolen, including an orange STIHL hedge trimmer with a petrol engine, a yellow/grey Ryobi leaf blower and a red grass strimmer.

On Tuesday between 1.45pm and 3.45pm another shed was broken into in Doggetts Wood Lane. The burglars entered via the rear garden, gaining entry to an insecure shed and also forcing a locked shed open.

A white Spear and Jackson chainsaw, an orange Worx circular saw, a red four stroke engine Troy Bilt chainsaw, an orange hedge trimmer, a red grass strimmer, a red/black lawn mower and a ratchet screwdriver were all stolen from the building.

PC Gary Morton, of Amersham police station, said: “I would like to appeal to the public to contact us if they saw anything suspicious between these times.”
