Title: Narrow cutting path
Product review: I read the other reviews about this before buying, but figured that a 9-inch cut path would be fine. I haven't measured the cutter, but it seems like the stated diameter includes the string spool as well. In this way, you only get a string length of about 2.5 to 3 inches. Worse yet, the cutting end includes a small blade in the guard to ensure that the string gets cut off at that length. Meanwhile the "guard" itself is only wide enough to hold that blade, so it doesn't protect against any flying debris. For me, this is the most useless tool I could ever imagine using. Technically, it works (in that it spins a plastic string around in circles), but it doesn't have the power or cutting path to be useful for anything. I'm very disappointed that I purchased this trimmer; if only Amazon allowed zero-star ratings.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
