It spins fast and strong.

[Rancho Leo]

looks like an old lawn edger

Hand held.. the first weed eater ?

[worldtalker]

Tex, Is it OSHA approved?

[texan connection]

I cant find any markings.

[texan connection]

Ok the little gold tag says 115T and under that it says, 50757

I probably should say somewhere "don't plug this in unless you have a death wish".

Hedge trimmer?

[rsc]

I second the hedge trimmer HH Gayle

[texan connection]

Just need a confirmation,, little wonder made the first hand held electric hedge trimmer, just cant find a picture.

It looks as if it would work great for clearing heavy weeds or small saplings. The outside piece acts as a gauge, anything bigger wont be cut. It also looks as if it would hold it steady to help cut it cleanly.
