Worx GT WG150 10-Inch 18-Volt Cordless Electric String Trimmer/Edger

The WORX GT is the perfect tool to neatly manicure your yard after you mow. It even won the prestigious Editor’s Choice award from Popular Mechanics Magazine at the 2006 Lawn and Garden Show. The lightweight WORX 18-volt battery-powered string trimmer weighs less than a gallon of milk and is the only trimmer on the market which converts from a standard grass trimmer to a true walk-behind edger – 2 tools in 1. The integrated Edger wheel allows you to quickly and easily roll the trimmer along your patio or driveway for adding that perfectly edged look to your yard or garden.
And forget the hassle of pull starters – the WORX GT starts with the single push of a button. Forget the aggravation of untangling extension cords – the 18-volt battery-powered WORX GT can trim up to a 1/2 acre yard on a single charge. It goes anywhere you need to. And unlike some competitive cordless models, the WORX GT comes with a 1-hour quick charger so you don’t have to wait for hours for the battery to re-charge…you’re back to work in minutes not hours. The unique trimming head of WORX GT pivots up to 90-degrees to reach under decks, under play equipment, under trees and bushes or on slopes and hills.

Worx GT WG150 10-Inch 18-Volt Cordless Electric String Trimmer/Edger

Technical Details

* 10-inch electric line trimmer with a hardy 18-volt battery
* 100% automatic line feed for best cutting performance
* Telescopic shaft adjusts to user’s height and posture; rotating handle
* Includes 18-volt battery pack and charger, 16-foot spool trimmer line
* 2-year manufacturer’s warranty

Customer feedback:

1. I got this to replace a 2001 American Gardner 18 volt cordless trimmer that finally would no longer hold a charge. The Worx has much improved ergonimics, the handles, telescoping shaft, adjustable head angle and light weight are nice. However it lacks the power of the American Gardner, it is unable to cut through as heavy a growth and the string that comes with it is crap. The auto feeder jammed several times the first time I used it and the line would not cut well compared to the 5 sided Shakespeare .65 line I had been using when rewinding my spools on the American Gardner trimmer. So I unwound the Worx spool and replaced their line with the Shakespeare line. The result was much improved cutting. I recommend this to everyone.

2. Strengths:
- electric cordelss (a requirement for me)= no mess/fuss & low noise
- lightweight
- adjustable trim head is very handy – I’ve never seen this on a line trimmer before. I like it a lot.
- durable – seems like a solid design.
- easily swapped batteries. Inexpensive battery replacement.

Weaknesses:
- not as powerful as their ads led me to believe. I’ve used a Craftsman 10 in. Electric Weedwacker for the past two years which uses a powerful 24 volt battery system. This trimmer uses an 18 volt. I’m not sure if that’s what makes the Craftsman more powerful but something does. The Worx does fine with grass, but I don’t think it would work well with anything heavier…
- so so as an edger. Not really powerful enough to dig the edge – but it will trim it and the wheels actually make it work fairly well for this.
- advertise how great the auto feed system is. Mine often required me to take off the bottom and manually feed it. The spool did seem to be poorly rolled so maybe I had a non-typical problem. Seems like it worked ok when the line didn’ get caught up inside.
