Good Points
Cheap petrol hedge trimmer
Bad Points
Leaked petrol every time I used it (until I silicone sealed the petrol tule designed to be loosely fit into the container). I would not recommend any but the experienced mechanic to attempt to rectify this glaring problem, as the innards spew everywhere and it is a pig to put back together correctly.
General Comments
I would never buy another Performance Power Pro PRO24CCHTA 24cc Petrol hedgecutter again (for another 20 years until they learn how to do it right). Spend a bit more and buy a lighter one.
I would have taken the thing back after petrol spewed everywhere when I used it in any position, except to cut the top of a hedge, but all autumn and winter and spring I never used it and by the time the problem reoccurred, the warranty had run out. (I had thought it was me overfilling the petrol container.)
