I'm a guy who likes to tinker on small engines as a hobby. And I drive a diesel. So I would be the last guy to go electric. But a buddy let me try his 80v string trimmer and wow -- now I'll never go back!
I'm thrilled with the ease of use. Zero prep time, just start cutting. It cuts the total job time in half. And the battery life is amazing. I can do 3 full trims and still don't need to charge it. Highly recommend.
Outstanding trimmer by Greenworks with the shoulder strap it helps greatly in balancing the trimer slight bump tap and line comes to length plenty of battery power for our 1/3 of acre.
I bought this specifically to be able to attach other cutter heads, and had no problem doing so. It works great, and the attachments work easily. Only issue is the battery. If you are planning on using any other battery, don't. They apparently all make small changes so they won't fit each other. Very frustrating. Same size, just put the groves in a slightly different spot so they are not interchangeable. Only their 80V will apparently fit.
Will this work with PRO 80V BRUSHLESS 16" STRING TRIMMER ?
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
