I have a battery powered black and decked trimmer, but that sucks balls when you own 1.6 acres of mainly trees and bushes. I needed something with more kick. So I broke down this week and bought the trimmer. I had purchased a electric powered pressure washer a couple of weeks ago. It had two modes, worked like shit, and didn’t work. The thing kept blowing my fuses! Then the machine finally died. I used it twice. I brought it back to Kent and bought a pressure washer that was on sale from 349 to 299.

I tried out the trimmer tonight and have quickly realized that I might need to wear work boots, gloves, jeans, and safety goggles with this thing. I think it can take down a small tree with it. Weird getting it started though, but I think I have the hang of it now. Haven’t tried the pressure washer yet, but I am kind of scared to use that much power on my logs. I will keep a good distance and I should be fine though. Just got to find the right range. I think the manual said 2100 PSI. I promise not to point it at any small squirrels that I catch in my live traps :)
