Does the length of this trimmer at 6 ft make it hard to use I'm coming from a 63" gas trimmer?

Not at all. It's very well balanced and is easily handled by my short wife.

I don't have a problem using it. My wife is 5'6" and she uses it all the time, but she prefers using a shoulder strap with it.

Bang the hub of the string trimmer, gently on grass with motor running, cutter on edge of safety shield will cut string to proper length. Good luck, Frank

6 inch for sure. I have a 10 inch Rigid and it calls for a 6inch. Far less strain on the motor when you are cutting a wide dado.

The shaft will no longer be curved. I have used this in Toro and Troy-Bilt trimmers. It's about 2" shorter than the Troy-Bilt attachment, so I have to bend a bit more, but I feel that this trimmer does a better job.

I think it's 6', but the coil is so strong you really can't make use of it without difficulty beyond about half of that. Get the uncoiled one instead - this is really annoying.

6 inch with no problems. You can't rush it . Just let the machine do the work

It probably is too small of gauge for gas powered trimmers. You will need 8 or 10 gauge for your trimmer. If I remember right this is 6 gauge.

Mine is about 52" and it could still be shortened. It looks like 48" would be about the minimum. You could probably cut it with a pipe cutter if you need it any smaller.

A "little bit". I am 6'1" and I do have to stoop a little with maximum extension. Depending on what power you're using, the battery won't last but 30 to 45 minutes so it's not too hard on the back. This is a good machine in spite of its shortcomings and I have really put it through its paces. We trim under electric fences on the ranch through 18" tall Bahia grass and it DOES THE JOB !

I have it attached to my weed trimmer, but as nearly as I could measure it, the wire is between 6 and 6 1/2 feet long. I had to gather it up with a Velcro tie and tape it to the frame in order to keep it out of the way while using the trimmer. The Tiny Tach has come in very handy for adjusting the carburetor on the trimmer, which I've read has to be very exact for trimmer longevity. Hope that helps.

I believe it was 6" however, the instructions show you how to cut dovetails on much larger boards. There really is no set length. I've done it and it was rather easy

Yes, it does and it is a great product. I have a Toro heavy duty straight shaft trimmer and it has about 4' without any attachments. If you add this approx. 6' (including both pieces) to your existing gas trimmer, you will have about 10' of reach. Make sure your trimmer has a square shaft to attach the attachment onto.

I dont know the exact length, but I think you will hit the length you want. It has a pretty wide range for its clip and extends in half steps. It's a pretty good shaver. Not the best I have owned, but not bad.

Hi Richard. We used our trimmer one time. I'm a little under 5' tall and because of the weight of it, I only had the pole extended about half way, but managed to trim branches that were about 10' high. My husband reached a couple of feet higher, but we didn't have a need to go any higher than that. Hope this helps.

I've let my lawn get to about 6 inches and it struggles a bit. I mulch not bag but you really can't let it get long. The mower isn't as powerful as a gas one. It's best for a small to mid size lawn that is mowed very regularly.

Mine is 16" total length. It works fine for me for medium to light duty lawn thatching, which is all I need it for.

I would contact them directly with that question. I have not needed to try cutting it. The one I bought is 60". The Grizzley people I spoke to were very helpful.
