    A:  I get a bit more time than that using the Turbo button probably 90% of the time. Note Turbo uses a lot of power since it produces significantly more wind than a 23.9 cc Hitachi blower. Not using turbo is about the same as that gas blower.

          A:  Hello, Jeanne - The auto-feed-style cartridges aren't compatible with this unit. You can use pre-cut line with the fixed line housing on this tool. The instructions to install the line is on page 9 in the manual linked here: https://images.thdstatic.com/catalog/pdfImages/6f/6f821a1c-0ef8-4d94-80c0-8b22cf5ffee2.pdf. We hope this helps!

                            A:  Hello, Frederick - Our brushless tools have more power, longer runtime, and longer motor life. Brushless motors not only deliver more power but are also lighter and more compact than brushed motors, allowing you to work longer and more efficiently. Combining a brushless motor with advanced electronics and High-Performance Lithium-Ion Batteries gives these tools increased performance and a premium user experience.
