Default Bought a new Stihl gas hedge trimmer

Well today i bought me a new STIHL gas hedge trimmer.
and loveing it.... you wont believe this, but its my first.
always used a electric. and that cord crap was getting old.
i did a lot of searching on the net. Stihl and Echo got high marks.
Stihl was ranked best by consumer report. so i narroed it down from there.
ended up with the new HS 45. was going to get a 81T but i did not like the articulating handle. thay have the same motor. and i got a 24 inch bar. boy this is no Home depot jobby , got it at the stihl dealer. its made very well. it will cut about anything. i hope it lasts , these things ant cheep.
Here is a few pics and of course my first bush i did with it.
this bush was out of control. it took all of about 8 min to bring her down
to size. took longer to rake clippings than to cut it. boy everyone need one of these... i figured it i got a comercial one for around the house , it should last a while.

Chris....
