I have been electric-trimming my daughter’s shrubs/hedges for years, using two, long extension cords, and an 8 foot stepladder. With this trimmer-head attachment, I did the same job with a 2 foot step-stool, and no cords. This Viyuki attachment seems solid, well built, and worked fine.Pros:1. No electric cords needed (don’t have to worry about tangles or cutting them).2. Less high-up ladder-work (don’t have to worry as much about falling).3. More power (my gas string trimmer has more power than my electric hedge trimmer).4. Tilt head (double-latch is safe, and easy to adjust blade angle one-handed; different angles alloweasier high-corner / top trims.Cons:1. Heavier than electric trimmer.2. Unwieldy in tight areas.Tips:1. Use 2 handed, one hand on trimmer throttle-grip, one hand on trimmer shaft for control.2. Use a shortened shoulder-strap, to help support unit while using.3. I attached the shoulder strap to the trimmer shaft with a carabiner through a 1/2 inch strap loop, passed around the trimmer shaft in a “cow-hitch” fashion. This allows the trimmer easily to be rotated 180 degrees, and still be supported by the shoulder-strap.4. I greased the head (zirc fitting) with 5-6 shots of grease before using… gear-box did not seem to over heat.5. My trimmer is a Craftsman 2400, 27cc. 2-stroke. The drive coupling is square, and I taped it at about 3/16 inch (.19). The Viyuki attachment drive is listed as .2 inch, and it works fine.
