I've owned one previously, but someplace they did shortcuts during the manufacturing process. It works great, IF you can keep it from falling apart. You can't even install the guard, so that's useless. The break is a whole different story. It was put on by what few directions it showed. When it was put together, and I used the break and the trigger as directed, the break fell off. Put it back on, ran it, it fell off again. It fell off 6 times. Just when I was getting ready to take it back, my husband did a couple of modifications and it finally stayed together. It works great when you finally get it to stay in one piece, but unless you are great with tools, take a hard pass on this one.
