Not new but saved from the trash. I was doing a job about ten years ago and the HO had this in his garbage. He said he lost the cord but thought it worked good. I just put it on a shelf until last week. Carol has two Dappled Willow bushes in front of the house they have gone wild. She trimmed the tops off back in the spring with some hand clippers. I’ve never had a use for these hedge trimmers until now. I need to round up a light duty cord because mine won’t stay plugged in because the cord won’t slide into the hook on the handle it’s too big. Other than that this thing worked great and made quick duty of the more serious trimming job. She won’t need them again until around fall so I’m going to take it apart and repack the grease and oil the knives some.
