Hi guys, I'm new here. Just found this forum. I just received a new CORE power li-ion string trimmer and brush cutter and wanted to share some information from a lesser known brand that's one of the best li-ion units currently available in terms of torque, motor technology and lightweight ergonomics.
I got mine off a Woot.com daily deal last Saturday and received it early Tuesday morning. Since then, I had a few sessions with it cutting everything from stingy dallas grass in my front to 1/4 inch privet along the creekbank of my 1 acre back yard. I've only had it for a week, but in that short time, the trimmer has mandhandled everything I've thrown at it. It has two speed settings, one for high torque (5000rpm) and one for high speed (7000 rpm). I've only used the high torque setting since I prefer it to slice through just about anything growing in my yard (and it preserves the battery).
Here are some initial impressions, photos of the revolutionary simple and powerful motor and a completely non professional, one arm video of the trimmer in action along my creekbank.

Re: New CORE power Li-ion String Trimmer & Brush Cutter. Instant Torque @5-7000 rpm
The entire motor is only about an inch tall and produces very little heat. After brush cutting my back creekbed for a good half hour, I could still hold my hand on the motor.
Its brushless and replaces the traditional copper coil windings with a printed circuit board etched in a radial pattern between two magnets with a drive shaft through the middle. It produces amazingly impressive torque. The CORE folks say its 25% more powerful than a 25cc two stroke engine. That would put it around the power of a 31cc gas two stroke. I have a 31cc Ryobi that's currently suffering from carb issues. The Ryobi was a monster but I can truthfully say, the CORE is cutting through the same material without fail.

Nice summary....
The poor old Ryobi's sent to the floor.

Yep. That one pic pretty much says it all doesn't it. Two "old school" 2 strokes pretty much dinosaurs now with these lithium batteries and new brushless motors coming of age.
I got the two Ryobi 2 strokes of craigs list. $20 for the both of them. They both had carb issues and leaking fuel lines. I managed to get the 31cc to work for a bit.
I like the power of the 31cc engine although its super loud and vibrates through my hands (I never could get the other one, a 25cc split shaft to work, carb issues) but the simplicity of push button start, no crank, no fumes, no gas, no carb, no leaking fuel line, no winter storage cleanouts, virtually no vibration and noise and the no brainer deal I got on Woot.com made it a slam dunk.
Glad it's living up to the "gas replacement" hype. Its actually much more than a gas replacement. It's a gas replacement without the maintenance headaches of the 2 stroke gas system, . So far so good.
