Question 1

Are you planning to include products for electric and battery powered trimmers in the future?

Accepted Answer

We're exploring all opportunities with the Orbitrim which includes Battery and Electric options, at this time there's no time table on when/if at all those versions would move forward

Question 2

will it fit Poulan P1500 ?

Accepted Answer

It fits, however, this product not work because P1500 is direct drive (having no clutch).    This was almost impossible to start my P1500 because of direct drive, because it is like adding a flywheel to the end of the shaft, and caused kick-back issues.  Then after it finally started, it broke the flexible cable that could not handle the forced torque of RPM changes.  This would not have happened with a clutch model, which the P1500 does not have.  The clutch takes some of the torque pressures off during extreme RPM changes.

Question 3

Will this work on a Stihl grass trimmer?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the Orbitrim will be able to accomodate most Stihl models. The Orbitrim will not work with electric, battery-operated, walk-behind or clutchless trimmers. Check to make sure that your weed trimmer has a clutch before using it with the Orbitrim. To check, try starting your engine; if the trimmer head rotates while starting your trimmer, your trimmer is clutchless and will not be able to work with the Orbitrim.

Question 4

Will this work to protect my Cedar fence when trimming how close to fence will it get

Accepted Answer

I'd say generally speaking, Yes; you control it and the outer ring prevents damage. I recommend you get the Stainless Steel version, I found out it was offered after purchasing mine. Now let chat about the Pro's & Con's. Overall I like the device, was not hard to install and my "Wife" was using it today as she likes it too. Having bought and used all the different versions, the biggest advantage is not bumping.... Or changing anything (string, wire, blades, etc.). Even the blades I bought wore down rather quickly and had to be replaced. So I like not wasting time doing all that. With the perimeter closed, it does not do some things as easy as the open styles, higher growth can be difficult and I prefer the hedge trimmer as didn't have much luck using this. You need to work it back & forth to get the growth inside the circle to cut it. It's Ok as that takes less time than changing things!
