You’re the science teacher we all wished we had in high school, educating while entertaining. Very impressive.

I wouldn't buy anything without checking for a Project Farm review first! Fair, real-world tests; thoughtful comments; and a complete lack of bias make this the gold standard of testing channels! Thanks for being our favorite consumer advocate!

[ianmclean]

I’ve watched this video twice because of the volume of information packed into it. This is by far the best product comparison video on YouTube and in my opinion should be the standard by which all such videos should be measured. It is unbiased and not a second wasted. 5 stars

I love the thoughtfulness about how these reviews are planned and executed.
FWIW, I bought the Kobalt bare tool on clearance for $80 and it is more than what I need for our 2 1/2 acre property. It is quiet, powerful, and doesn't vibrate much.
Thanks again for this review!

Can we all appreciate this man spent nearly $3, 000 to test all these trimmers for us? Very impressive!!

The UPS guy says to himself, "I know what the Project Farm man is testing this week" as he unloads about a dozen boxes. Thanks for a Sunday pick up.

[DeeboComing]

Your creativity for coming up with real world, repeatable, unbiased, data driven tests is unparalleled. I'm sure there's a lab or research development department somewhere that would pay very well for your set of skills sir. 👌🏾 Love the content and keep up the great work!!

For about 13 years now, I have owned and operated a licensed lawn maintenance business in northern Idaho and have been running the dual battery Makita commercially now for 3 years and have had ZERO issues with it! I did upgrade to a speed loading head and would highly recommend it! It has more than paid itself off with gas/oil mix savings for how much I work it. I haven't used any other electric trimmers and went with Makita because I already had 16 batteries, but again, no complaints at all. I rarely utilize the feature, but it is very handy to have the reverse spinning option, it automatically reverts to the regular rotation after 5 seconds. It's handy also for getting the backside of large square posts on vinyl fencing, as it's not possible to hit one side with one type of fixed rotation. You can also feather the throttle at any of the 3 speed settings. Great product!

Thank you so much for making these extremely in-depth thorough un-biased videos, I just discovered your channel and subscribed, and am hooked and already recommending you to family and friends! I will most certainly be referencing your channel before any sort of purchases in the future 🙂 God bless

I hope you understand how good this channel is. As a 22 year old without much experience these comparisons have helped me IMMENSELY when buying tools. Thank you for what you do.

As someone with 15 years in product quality assurance... you sir are an absolute top-notch product tester. Personally I own the Milwaukee because it had an edger attachment and it's been great but I was really pleased to see that the DeWalt was such a beast. Excellent video!

[gregrogers]

I can not believe how thorough you are! I have been an electrician for 33 years now! I have had many apprentices under my wing over the years! I like to think I made them wonderful tradespeople, but I don''t think I could do what you do?

God bless you and keep it up!

[Jim]

I went and bought the DeWalt and a bunch of attachments because of your review. Good job. Getting to a point where people won't buy a power tool unless you've tested it. Thanks

[swiftkillsx]

My god, we need a man like this everywhere. You sir put in so much work and I don’t think we can fully comprehend your dedication and will to please your viewers, but it’s not just that. You thoroughly enjoy doing this which makes it all the more better. Keep up the good work man

[electronicsNmore]

Fantastic testing as always! An incredible amount of time and money goes into making these videos. Thank you! A++

[Namedeeznuts]

Ryobi has served us well for many big thick yards! 18v with razorback line. Did yards for couple years and now it sits in the garage for our backyard 👍🏼

This is absolutely the most complete and five-star video review I've ever seen so far. Very high quality. Great job!

[TheDrewFalcon]

I bought the Milwaukee, a couple weeks back. HD was offering a huge combo deal along with the 16" chainsaw that included 4 total batteries. I think the deal was more than $300 off. I feel vindicated in my purchase. I also like the versatility of being able to purchase the attachments. Great video, awesome work as always. FWIW: I didn't get much vibration from the Milwaukee, but then again, I was used to my old Craftsman 2-cycle that made my hand go numb!

[RR-wqpq]

Project Farm is a "mind reader". I've been researching cordless trimmers all weekend! Looks like I'll have another Dewalt tool in my arsenal, Thanks bud!

[just_dom]

As a new homeowner, I can’t emphasize how useful your videos are, Todd. Thanks brother!

[sarabalderrama]

Thank you for creating this video! 🙌 I was going back and forth for many months of research and this is the most concise and thorough review ever! THANK
