Not good even for temporary use
Would Not RecommendExtremely POOR!! Does not run full power with load. Only when "cutting" air. Short 20-30 max run time. Unable to load string when reloading. Spring too hard & won't snap back together. Must be a "one spool" use & then exchange for replacement unit. STAY AWAY or find out for yourself.
