The trimmer extends about 18 inches over its length as it comes out of the box. This gives an effective "reach" of about 5 feet. While it is relatively light in weight, anything that extends to that length will be a bit heavy and unwieldy, especially when trying to hold it with one hand extended. All in all, it is a very good product.

It extends but returned the item because it came without battery and buying one was expensive. There are better trimmers with battery included.

Trimmer extends about 1 1/2 feet + works well on topping high hedges, but, yes, fully extended in the horizontal (90 degree angle) gets to feeling heavy quite soon. But, mind you, I'm an old man of 79 still taking care of my tall hedges. Couldn't do it without this trimmer.

Extends an additional 20" or so. Probably a total reach of 4 feet. Pretty well balanced and head adjusts to several angles for trimming overhead or low. Total weight probably feels like 5 pounds.

Yes, it is very adjustable. It is a little heavy especially when extended. A very well constructed tool.

Yes, it does. This trimmer comes with a pre-loaded string head, a turf blade meant for heavy growth like hay & witch grass and all of the adapters necessary for attaching brush blades. It also has two different cover guards designed for each application. It's a great trimmer/light brush cutter for the money.

No, this is an electric trimmer. You just need several 50 foot extension cords.

It is a clipper, not a trimmer. I would say its about 1-1.5 inches wide. I use the 00000 blade with it and trim necklines and around ears though. As long as you are careful, you can use it like that.

The trimmer has NO locking position that allows the tool to stay on without holding the trigger. The trimmer is great. I have 12 bushes that need to be trimmed a few times during their growing season. It is a pleasure to use the trimmer without an attached powercord to get in the way. No effort at all to use. I feel the tool is safer then a wired trimmer.

Yes but that's a heavy load for any trimmer,once you have it under control keep trimmed regularly .

Quite honestly, the trimmer is not as heavy as you thought. However, the performance is a little bit rough. Your age shouldn't be an issue to handle the trimmer. P.S. " It is not as sharp as you think!!!" I hope my comment help you somewhat..... Good luck

I'm 5'11" and use the trimmer and blower with no problems. Love the one LB2X4020-OPE 4.0 Ah Lithium Battery Pack, 20-volt Battery (10 hour charge time/40 minute run time 4ampHr up to 1hour on trimmer extended runtime speed) that comes with the combo.

Hi Janet--as the others have said it is around 9 pounds. If you are trimming a tall hedge such as mine(8 feet) and you need to lift it over your head it can get pretty heavy--and I'm a strong guy. However, it is a terrific trimmer--lots of power and neat extension and adjustments. RP

It's not that it's heavy. When fully extended the leverage given the extent of it means you need to move carefully and keep distance between your hands to control it. I do not lift it fully extended from horizontal, that would be a mistake. It is so sharp that cutting can proceed slowly and without jerking motions that would make it hard to control after a cut at its full extension. I am very happy and impressed with mine.

The trimmer does not have a locking position, but this is a good thing. It is so light and easy to use that it is not necessary to lock. I bought this trimmer because of all the good reviews and they are all true...

Yes, it does and it is a great product. I have a Toro heavy duty straight shaft trimmer and it has about 4' without any attachments. If you add this approx. 6' (including both pieces) to your existing gas trimmer, you will have about 10' of reach. Make sure your trimmer has a square shaft to attach the attachment onto.

A "little bit". I am 6'1" and I do have to stoop a little with maximum extension. Depending on what power you're using, the battery won't last but 30 to 45 minutes so it's not too hard on the back. This is a good machine in spite of its shortcomings and I have really put it through its paces. We trim under electric fences on the ranch through 18" tall Bahia grass and it DOES THE JOB !

The length of the shaft is not adjustable. The mid grip handle position can be changed for comfort. I liked the power and performance of this unit but it's about a foot shorter than the gas-powered unit I had been using. I'm 6'2" and the shorter shaft means you have to bend forward with the trimmer...which stresses the back if used for a long period of time.
