Took over an hour to do the handle before I thought “let me look on KZbin” and here you go saving my life😂 why this took me 3 hours idk I’m just a girl💀💀

[@crystalburrous3030]

Same here. couldn't push the thing on so came to youtube, and wa-la snapped right on - thank you @stephenfixesthings

[@genther6668]

Me too took me an extra few minutes to figure it out. Love the trimmer and it's performance

[@phakeAccount]

There are several comments about installing the handle so you're not alone. I think everyone just let it dangle loosely until watching this video

[@MrSpuzzz]

Thanks for the assembly demo I was stuck on the handle too

[@Pk-ft5dl]

I struggled with the handle too. After reading some of the comments I don’t feel like a complete moron. 😂 I’m still trying to tighten the handle so it doesn’t slip. Thanks a million for the tutorial! It helped me immensely as I am new to weed trimming.

[@robincone6749]

Thank you!! The instructions were not clear that you had to use force to install the handle. I appreciate the video!

[@cotmhg8980]

I did my acre yard & I really like it a lot. How easily you can turn it off & on. I just used the low speed & it did great. Note: assembling the handle was a tough one for me. Thanks for this video. 👍

[@dtateiii]

Thanks buddy. Just bought one and didn’t feel like trying to sort through the manual to figure out how to set it up so I set mine up by following your instructions as you set yours up in the video. 👍

[@genther6668]

Just purchased this trimmer and thr 715cfm blower and I'm very impressed with both pieces of equipment. Just gave my old gas trimmer to my neighbor

[@mkmstillstackin]

Thanks for the great assembly and use demo! I'm still pondering whether I'll actually purchase this particular model, but now seeing your demo, I'm leaning more towards getting this one.

[@stephenbushey6608]

Thanks (also, cool first name) for making this video. much easier to understand all the settings seeing it like this in the video. luckily, i have a much smaller yard so i'm excited to try this out. thanks again.

[@4BWVan]

Thanks so much for this video! I came specifically for the handle assembly and I was not disappointed

[@bobbyberry5559]

Same! Glad it worked for you too

[@Tactical_Therapist]

Thank you! 🙏 I was looking to put the Handle on and was confused even with the instructions. I was like, no way is this snapping on there and ol’ and behold, your video showed me it could. Saved me some time and frustration lol

[@zacharybush3979]

Great video! Thanks!

[@bobbyberry5559]

Thank you for making this. All the older videos have the older model handle. 👍

[@yolandalewis7626]

thank you your video is very easy to follow..

[@davidwilmoth5347]

great demonstration! how short will it go? when you slid the handle down ?

[@patricialewis4017]

Thank You......We are thinking about getting one......Our Yard is about your size.... (2 Lots) ...We have the EGO Blower & the Self-Propelled Mower...If you ever decide to get the Lawn Tractor, please do a Demo on it.... We think want that Mower....We are replacing all our Earthwise Yard Tools!

[@feliciamullins7140]

Thank you, I bought this yesterday at Lowe's and the handle had me stumped 😅

[@bobk4103]

Thank you.

[@gemstonesrainbows8402]

Thanks man

[@robincone6749]

Very annoyed at Kobalt. I bought the 80 Volt trimmer and have had it about 4 years. The bump head needs replaced, and they no longer make them. The Universal ones don’t work either. First time purchasing EGO. I love the auto feed technology. That is a game changer!

[@JOSHOCEANS]

Excellent review! New sub here!

[@bhaskarakrishnachaitanyave9081]

Stuck with handle.. Thanks for the explanation. It was wonderful. Ego needs to do a better job with handle.

[@coreykelley2807]

Jus bought one

[@oakwhittler4851]

I used this trimmer for the first time today. I found that the trigger is set too far back, so that I'm reaching behind me to hold the trigger. This caused quite a bit of shoulder pain. I like the trigger to be about at my hip, not behind me. I used a shoulder strap but when the trimmer felt balanced front and rear, that's what caused the trigger to shift too far back. I believe I got the right adjustment for the shaft length. ANY SUGGESTIONS?

[@treecycle4631]

Don't understand why it has a knuckle in the middle of the shaft and it gets locked in place with a capscrew with Loctite on it. Would have thought they would supply a knob like they do on the handle so you could undo it easily and fold the shaft in half for storage. Good overview of the unit as I am in the market to move to a battery trimmer at the moment.

[@tubeloobs]

I think a solution like that would have very negative effects on vibration. You need a very secure lock to reduce that possibility

[@szargos]

Why are there 3 houses on this property?

[@two_legit1832]

Can ego's 5mah battery be used in place of the 2.5mah battery?

[@paklaselt2198]

Yes but it won't improve the performance at all

[@Sammy2012ify]

Could you please tell me what the amp hour rating to the weedeater battery is?

[@paklaselt2198]

2.5 ah

[@Sammy2012ify]

@@paklaselt2198 I use 4 amp hour batteries in my Ego werdeater.

[@Los714]

What’s the difference between this one and the ego ph1400?

[@elmojito]

The PH is a multitool and accepts different heads like trimming, edging, hedge trimmer, etc.

[@Los714]

@user-gt7xz8lh4d why

[@lauraklose6534]

That handle is not popping on. Im pretty good at follow directions and not giving up. I just gave up

[@user-xk4lv5wq9b]

Just tried a new Ego 15" ST1511T. A new, fully charged 2.5 battery lasted about 10 minutes in high setting doing light duty work. Also the Ego .095 string seemed far less durable than the .080 string I was using previously. After a bump it would go to 15" and almost immediately drop to 2-3" on each side. Is Ego string known to be pretty poor?

[@Dee--Jay]

can you use a thicker string than 095

[@StephenFixesThings]

I’m not sure off hand, but I know they recommend 095 so there’s probably a chance you run into some issues using a thicker size.

[@js2111]

How long does a full battery last?

[@StephenFixesThings]

30 minutes or so. Maybe a little more if you run it on the slow speed.

[@joe8747]

Any update on this product? After using it more, does it still work good? We have issues with every string Trimmer, the bumbing part not working anymore. At the $220 price point want to make sure that isn't a issue. Thank you

[@StephenFixesThings]

I ended up returning it. The battery wouldn't charge and it was showing as over heating. I think it's solid for a yard that isn't too huge and doesn't require a ton of weed eating.

[@edaker4684]

Every lithium rechargable battery will do that if it's dead and hot from use. Letting it cool off a few minutes cure that issue . ​@StephenFixesThings

[@jamespolucha8790]

I found this ego weed wacker from Mega Market Direct for $87 battery and charger, how can this be everywhere else it’s like $300

[@mrjohn7477]

Its not

[@edaker4684]

It's probably hot.

[@keithinscho374]

Is this bump and run?

[@curious-abc-xyz]

06:01 thank you so much for that. I couldn't understand even after reading the manual on how to use that during assembly.

[@zacharybush3979]

Great video! Thanks!

[@zacharybush3979]
