This item DOES NOT RUN FOR MORE THAN 20 MINUTES. Do not believe the 45 minute runtime in the description. Will never purchase this brand again. Complete ripoff.

Hi Joebob455. Thank you for your review. The runtime varies depending on the tool being used and the workload placed on the unit during operation. Generally, the higher the amp-hour (Ah) rating of the battery, the longer the runtime it can provide. As a result, battery runtime may vary based on the specific battery and application. Please note that estimated runtime is typically provided on the product page for each unit. These estimates may be based on factors such as operating time, acreage covered, number of cuts, or other usage variables. Actual runtime can vary depending on the load applied to the battery, such as higher power settings or Turbo Mode, as well as the type of tool being operated, such as a self-propelled lawn mower versus a leaf blower. Should you have any new question or further concerns, please contact us directly at 1-888-909-6757 (1-888-90WORKS) to speak with an agent or start a chat and we will be happy to assist. Thank you for continuing to choose Greenworks Tools!
Quit working after 1 year. Can not find a Pump Parts breakdown on line. I believe it is the unloader valve.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Good power and run time. 5 stars there. Line feed is 1 star. Line drops to 2 inches without feeding. Absolutely horrible. I'd buy something else after experiencing it.

Hello Bob89. We are glad to hear you are getting strong power and runtime from your 24V 12" String Trimmer/Edger, but we are sorry the line feed performance has been frustrating, that is certainly not the experience we want you to have. Line feeding issues like you described are often related to spool setup or line advancement technique. This model uses an automatic/bump feed system, and for best results: 1. Make sure the spool is properly installed and the line is evenly wound (not crossed or too tight). 2. While trimming, lightly “bump” the head on the ground while the unit is running at full speed to advance the line. 3. Avoid letting the line get too short before feeding, as very short ends can sometimes prevent proper advancement. 4. Check that the correct line diameter is being used, as oversized or undersized line can affect feeding performance. If the line is consistently not advancing even with proper use, the spool or feed mechanism may need inspection or replacement. Our support team would be happy to help troubleshoot further and ensure everything is functioning as intended. They can be reached either using the online chat function, on Greenworks Tools page, accessible by clicking “Chat Now” in the bottom corner of your screen, Chat with a Live Agent or by calling 1-888-909-6757. So, our experts can discuss your experience; please have your unit, battery and charger with you along with the model and serial number to complete troubleshooting to ensure quick resolution is provided.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Nice value drills. Drill runs nice. Case lacks a pocket for storage of screw driver bits that were included.
