EGO 56V Li-Ion 15" String Trimmer 2.0Ah Kit

Awesome Tool Little heavier than my black and decker but out performs 10 to 1

I bought this model because I already had a battery. So for me, this model works. It doesn't have the auto wind string, but it's easy enough to wind the string anyways. Very powerful line trimmer. I love it.

This is a really nice trimmer, every bit as good as my previous, gas powered ones in function. It is much nicer to use, however than any other I have had. The lack of noise is a big benefit for me and I have never liked having a combustion engine that close to my face. Also, there is no effort to start the thing. Every gas powered one I have used was a pain to keep going, to the point where I wound up just not using the thing. With this I can move around my yard and pick it up whenever I need it, do some quick trimming, put it down. The batteries last a while and charge faster than I run them out, so having two for to swap out keeps me trimming and mowing (I have the EGO lawn mower too) as long as I need. I would give it 5 stars but I haven't been using it long enough to feel like I can comment on longevity or any of that, so I'll hold off for now.

This EGO Power 15 inch is stellar. One accu charge lasts for 38 minutes up to over 50 minutes, on medium to full blast. It cuts THROUGH 5 feet high dense weeds areas, all kinds of brushes, most thickets, and vines. Except 20 feet long vines which I simply cut off with a pruner. Other trimmers' accu charge last on my Florida backyard jungle up to 20 minutes MAXIMUM. I used the EGO ten times so far and ZERO complaints at all. The charger has an audible cooling unit built inside so I can recharge the accu without having to wait to let it cool off. FANTASTIC! The trimmer itself is long and heavy and YES it has a kind of armrest to put my right arm on which tremendously eases the heavy duty work I have to do. Prior the first cut, I bought myself security protective glasses, a baseball cap, some long leg fabric pants and shirts and security heavy duty outdoor sandals. This outfit helps IMMENSE to stay safe. This EGO trimmer on full blast has a top force to make small stones and wood chunks fly over 20 meters against walls, like straight shooting bullets. I had to learn to position the trimmer in the right angle on the ground areas to get the most efficiency out of it. If one needs to trim a lawn, a mower might be a better fit. If one needs a tool to get the real heavy stuff done, this it!

I originally gave this a good review but that was before i actually really used it much..At first it seemed great but shorty after using it the bump feature to feed the line didn't work..i already had a battery from a Leaf blower of the same brand and the leaf blower is great so i thought i would build on other tools that uses the same battery..What a waste of money this thing is..I even bought a new head thinking maybe it was just the defective head on this one that i got with the weeder..That new one didn't work either..Each time i have to take it apart and feed the line manually and it's just a big hassle..I would rather use my old gas trimmer than this one..The only good thing i can say is you can control the speed easier and it is quiet ..other than that..no thanks
