Out of the 5 categories below, what is the best hedge trimmer you have used?

1) Reliability (Easy Starting, does not give you trouble)
2) Longevity (has a long commercial life)
3) Power (does not get caught up when using it for what its intended)
4) Maneuverability (Easy to Trim most shrubs and ease of use in hard to reach areas)
5) Most Used (Which trimmer do you currently own that gets used the most often)

I'll start with mine *Ive only had a handful of trimmers and so hoping y'all who have used multiple types can help out here.
1) Echo Pas Art.
2) Echo Pas Straight
3) Echo Pas Straight
4) Black and Decker 20Volt Battery Powered
5) HC-152

I'm going battery power for my next outfit. So much lighter and less fatigue. Then use my Stihl Kombis with hedge trim attachment for tall stuff.

Mine was a Husqvarna 125 (something like that). Motor was way over powered and almost always start on first pull. I had over 500 hours on it and it would not die...

Someone stole it out of my garage when I was working on it one day.. I was very upset..

I still check offerup / letitgo / craiglist hoping it would show up.
I can't believe how attached I became with that trimmer. LOL
