Good Points
Looks and feels well made.
Cuts at any angle.
Well balanced.
Negligible vibration.
Can do the thick stuff, though branches at 1 inch thick take a bit more time.
Bad Points
Heavy and it gets tiring over extend periods.
Basic instructions, particularly on fuel grades and mixing.
Difficult to re-start if it gets very hot.
General Comments
McCulloch Hedge Cutter ideal for use in short bursts, however it cuts through virtually any thing with ease so in no time you can cover a large area. The only problem is if you need to use ladders on tall hedges it gets quite tiring.
I've only run it for a few hours, but it still appears to be very sharp.
