This has to go!

What happens here

Set up a timer on a smartphone to accurately measure the working duration of the trimmer. Begin trimming the waist-high broom sedge around the hay bales, using the Milwaukee string trimmer at its full power setting. Observe and manage the trimmer line, noting that it extends by tapping the head on the ground during operation. Continue trimming through the dense vegetation, periodically checking the battery life. The initial XC 8.0 battery lasts for approximately 20 minutes before needing to be swapped out.

Goal: Evaluate the string trimmer's performance and battery life in dense vegetation.
