I expected something more rugged and powerful from a unit with a built-in saw, but it is only 3 amp compared to my previous and present B&D trimmer which is 4 amp. The difference was noticeable this morning when tidying a bank of cotoneaster. The saw is just a gimmick and less user friendly than having a set of loppers at hand. These are OK for light applications, but there are better trimmers for the money, including other B&D models. I would have returned this if I had tried it with the 90 day period.
