Not the easiest tool to use. You really need a second battery, because it doesn't last as-long-as advertised. Disappointed because of this.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello BruceL,
Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that you are dissatisfied with the run time of this battery when used in this String Trimmer.
It is important to adjust your trimming techniques to make the most out of the battery life. This unit is advertised as running up to 40 minutes with a fully charged 2Ah battery, but it goes without saying that that the harder the unit works, the quicker the battery drains.
Here are a few tips to help achieve the optimal run time.
Cut with the bare tip of the line because this is the section which moves at the highest speed. Do not let the line slap into grass. Ease the line into grass, bit by bit. You should not allow all the line to meet the grass as this will tend to slow it down causing it to lose momentum and it will not do a good job of cutting.
Remember to always have the guard and the metal flower guide on while using the trimmer. This will prevent the line from snapping off and going back into the spool housing.
We hope these tips will help! If not, we would be happy to investigate to see whether your run time would be considered average; please submit an email using the customer contact page on our website or give us a call at 1-888-909-6757 (1-888-90WORKS). All we ask that you have access to the unit so that we can complete troubleshooting with you and gather necessary unit information.

Spool string does not hold at all
on June 4, 2021
Posted by: DuryodhanB
I recently bought this trimmer. The string does not stay at all. It breaks within no time and won't come out even after pushing the spool against the ground. Every time, I have to open the spool and take it out. It is getting very frustrating and annoying.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello DuryodhanB,
We are sorry to hear the problem you are experiencing with the Trimmer. We would like to make some suggestions in order to improve your experience with the tool. Trimmer line usually breaks because of line crowding. This occurs when the trimmer head is held too close to hard objects that can break the line such as brick, cement, rocks, or fencing. Keeping the line at full extension, and not crowding it, reduces line breakage problems. We suggest cutting with the bare tip of the line because this is the section which moves at the highest speed. Don't let it hit into grass. Ease the line into vegetation, bit by bit from the edge. Line can also get wrapped around thick vegetation and become tangled, breaking the line. Listen to the sound of the machine and when the line slows down; back off out of the grass. We hope these suggestions help!
If you still have questions or an unresolved issue after going through this troubleshooting guide or just want to speak to a Greenworks product expert, please contact our Greenworks customer service department at 1-888-909-6757 or email us on info@greenworkstools.com

Pretty good when the line extends. It doesn't come out when bumped and sometimes gets lost inside resulting in disassembly.

Hello bmbfan,
I am sorry to hear about your experience. Please be advised only 1/4 inch of trimmer line is extended when you bump the head. Trimmer line tends to break off when the trimmer line makes contact with hard surface areas. Therefore more line is required. If the line gets too short it does roll back into the trimmer head. The trimmer line should be 2-3 inches out of the trimmer head while in operation.
We advise extending the line prior to use and keeping an eye on trimmer line when the unit is in use so it does not get too short.
If issues continue and you wish for further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us at 1-888-909-6757 or by email to info@greenworkstools.com. We're happy to help.

Quick and Easy

My previous edger was an old fashioned manual type that wore you out. My old trimmer's battery had to be recharged 2-3 times in order to complete the job. This battery not only is strong enough to complete the entire job, but it appears to have as much power at the end of the job as it did when I started. This tool allows me to rotate the trimmer for perfect edging along my driveway and sidewalk which makes life easier. Having one tool that does both jobs saves space in my garage too.
I would recommend this to a friend!
