Product Information

Run time up to 117 minutes when using the BL1860 Battery, 97 minutes with the BL1850 Battery and 75 minutes when using the BL1840 Battery. With any of the tool heads attached and the two 18v batteries clipped into the motor housing, the overall balance of the complete machine is excellent with the loop handle perfectly positioned for complete machine control and manoeuvrability. The balance of the tool when an attachment is in place is pretty good, though it is still a little heavy (I put this down to the build quality) and takes a bit of practice getting in the swing of using it. The power and run-time performance of the 36v Brushless motor makes the latest tools fully comparable on power and performance to petrol engine machines, while being highly sustainable with low noise and emissions.

Some manufacturers will offer a direct repair or replacement service (as applicable) which will often resolve your problem more quickly.

As with cars though a bigger engine does not always translate to better performance so it is important to compare the specifications of tools at different voltages between different manufacturers. This product carries a full 1 year manufacturers warranty covering both faulty materials and faulty workmanship, it does not cover general wear and tear or damage, batteries, blades, bulbs and other consumables.
