Decided I needed to do something about the bushes and shrubs around the house and knew the ancient, corded trimmer I had wasn't going to cut it. Looked online and saw the (new?) Ryobi P2606A 22" trimmer for sale at the Home Depot for $69.97. Only had 16 reviews but all were positive so I thought I'd give it a whirl. It has a 3/4" cutting width, 22" blade, blade rotates 90* in both directions, and has a sweeper on top to help brush aside trimmings.
For all of you guys and gals on the fence about using a cordless trimmer, this is the real deal. It will easily cut 1/2" limbs and with a little extra effort takes care of limbs up to the 3/4" spec. Battery life is extremely good; barely used half of a 4Ah battery. It made quick work of everything in my yard without breaking a sweat. I highly recommend it.
