Shame on you STIHL Inc. the First step to getting people to switch to battery equipment should be making it work and feel like gas equipment that we’ve been using for years . I’ve had this stihl battery kombi for over a year now , I really want to use it more . For hedge trimming the battery life is good, unfortunately for string trimming it’s not realistic but that’s not even my biggest issue. The gas powered km94 is such a great balanced unit that is built well, I’ve had several and the one I use daily is from 2015 !why wouldn’t you design the electric version with the same balance , look how the handles triggers don’t line up and how the battery is mounted way back on the unit , yes this is heavy but you could have balanced it much better… who are these engineers?! Move the battery to middle ! STIHL Inc. get me on your engineering team ! You won’t be disappointed. It’s a nice tool but so much room for easy improvement. Also who is actually using battery trimmers all day ? Hit me up if you are . I’ve tried several brands and the battery life isn’t even close , I’m wondering what kind of use are they getting . STIHL Inc. STIHL Inc.
