Toro
51460 7" 12-Volt Cordless Trimmer
|
|
| The portability of gas power without the mixing and pull-cord,
the ease and reliability of AC power without being tethered
by an extension cord, Toro's 12-volt trimmer is a first-rate
unit for homeowners. A 12-volt battery offers a run time of
at least 45 minutes, more than enough for the average yard.
The D-shaped handle’s curve balances the trimmer’s
10 pounds nicely in hand, and we especially like the wide-grip
trigger. It comes out of the box fully assembled, needing only
a 12-hour charge to be ready to run. The spool holds 10 feet
of .065 line, and spool replacement is a snap--literally—-because
no tools are needed. Just bump the head to advance more line.
We like this trimmer for its light weight, ease of handling,
impressive run time, and great price |

Ryobi

|
|
This 120 volt lightweight electric curved shaft grass trimmer
includes the TrimmerPlus system that turns your trimmer into
a lawn and garden system in seconds. Nine optional add-on tools
sold separately. The 5.2 amp motor and 2 speed starter is mounted
on top of the shaft, away from dust, for better balance and
longer life. The 15 inch, .080 inch diameter dual-line Speed
Spool dispenses premeasured line with a single tap of the bumphead.
The Speed Spool allows easy replacement of the cutting line
without removing the spool from the cutting head. Adjustable
D-handle allows for comfortable left or right-hand use. Two
year warranty.

Black
& Decker CST2000 12-Volt Cordless Grass Hog 12" Trimmer/Edger
with Auto Feed Spool |
|
Black & Decker's Grass Hog offers the convenience of cordless
power without the mess of fuel. Requiring virtually no tune-ups
and no fussing with gasoline and oil mixtures, the Grass Hog
gives you quiet, reliable, maintenance-free power at the flip
of a switch. True, battery power doesn't measure up to the strength
of a gas engine, but maybe you don't need all that power (and
pollution) anyway.
This trimmer takes just a few minutes to put together, and its
durable construction--backed by Black & Decker's two-year
warranty--is immediately obvious. With a 12-inch cutting path--the
largest of any battery-powered trimmer--the Grass Hog works
quickly. It is limited to light-duty cutting of grass and foliage
but can handle most homeowners' needs for weekend weed whacking.
The straight-shaft design lets you easily reach under decks
and stairs, and the adjustable handles offer a comfortable grip.
The auto feed spool releases trimmer line as it's needed, with
no tapping of the spool head required. The edger feature is
easy to engage and does a decent job of cleaning up around paving
stones and concrete, although it's not as powerful as gas and
corded electric models when cutting extensive edges along walkways
and driveways.
Weighing over 10 pounds, the Grass Hog may be a bit heavy
for some users, but for small, light-duty jobs, most homeowners
should find it to be quite manageable. As with all power equipment,
trimmers must be handled with caution. Be sure to wear hand,
eye, and foot protection when operating this serious piece
of equipment
