There are quite a bit of different stuff in the Euro market.
I was quite curios as to what this one was. Says it is compatible with the LB5300E leaf blower. I have one of those and they do get a bit heavy with the 7.5Ahr battery on, so this would be like the backpack sholder strap sort of thing for the leaf blower.

Matt, in reviewing the EGO Power Plus UK website, the model in question (AP1500D) is for their version of a "two-handed" string trimmer (Model BC1500E) - see picture below. If you can make it work with your 530 CFM leaf blower, let us know.

You can also use this with our version of the 15" trimmer (Model #: ST1500E - UK).

The UK website has the same LB5300E model as well, but nothing about the "shoulder strap" being utilized for it. I believe what you are seeing, but not sure why UK is different?

With the backpack blower being available now, maybe they thought most customers would not need to use the shoulder strap for it - so why not market it for the "trimmer" instead. Just trying to understand the mind of a European marketer ....

The Ego lineup definitely seems to be a little less clearly marketed than the NA market.

fun thing is that the EU doesn't get the backplack blower. that is a NA market item only

To that point, the EU version of the EGO hedge trimmer appears to have different blades than our version - see the specs below. I wonder if their blades are "sharper" and "stronger" than ours?

so ours is more a "dull knife edge" rather than "dual"

i went with a different option for my hedge trimming. I used the CS1600 and trimmed the hedge to 3-4" from the ground.

That would work as well, but since I don't have a need for the CS1600, I used my old old corded Black & Decker to do the job. It works fine, just a hassle to drag around the cord though.
