 1) Lightweight: This tool is very lightweight. The heaviest part to this tool is the battery which only weighs about 3 pounds. A gas powered weed wacker has a gas tank and other parts to the motor that makes it heavier. With a electric corded weed wacker you have the cord pulling against you which makes the tool heavier.
2) Low Maintenance: This tool has very low maintenance to it. You just keep the batteries charged and you won't have any problems. Changing the cutting string is no different than with any other type of weed wacker. Unlike the gas powered tool where you have to mix gas and oil or the corded tool where you have to have a extension cord for the tool to work, a battery powered weed wacker is a lot easier to maintain.
3) Ease of handling: This tool is very easy to handle. The first thing you do is put in a fresh battery. I recommend having at least two batteries so you can always have a fresh battery on hand when one starts to die out. Once you have the battery inserted you can walk to any spot in your yard without the restrictions of a extension cord only going so far.
These are only some of the great advantages of this great tool. You will also save money by not having to buy gas. Another reason I love this tool is because it is so lightweight and easy to use the whole family can use it. As always if it is a younger child using it make sure you have complete trust in them and that they understand how to properly use it.
