This is a well balanced and easily operated trimmer. The extra power of 40 over 20 volts allows you to tackle slightly more heavy trimming jobs but the smaller string size negates the extra power. I have rewound the spool with 80 size and it feeds reasonably well and cuts significantly heaver stuff, It remains a great home owner lawn trimmer but falls short trimming an irrigation ditch. Battery for this trimmer charges quickly and puts out great power but is expensive. I my opinion the 40 volt for the average lawn is a overkill and a 20 volt with extra batteries for the same money is a better deal

This is my 3rd 40 volt trimmer because I have a lot of land. I stayed with Ryobi because I already have the batteries/chargers. It's a lightweight version. The others weigh more because they have the rotating head for use as an edger. This one came with super duty 2 strand trimmer line and It was too heavy for the cutting blade on the bottom of the grass shield to do it's job. The line would extend uncut and get too long to work properly. I changed to single strand line and it now works fine.

This is my first cordless trimmer, and I wonder what took me so long to get one. It is very easy to use and actually more powerful than the old, extension cord trimmer. If you have any of the 40v batteries, this tool-only purchase is the way to go.

40 volts is the way to go for a cordless weedeater. The specifications are of excellent quality. And it looks durable. Im just waiting on a battery and charger to complete the purchase. Thank you. J.Michael Marich- B Street Products.
