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.

Nice lightweight tool, but the string became worn down within one use. I'm hoping that Greenworks will replace it.

Hello there,
Thank you for your feedback. We are glad that you have enjoyed the performance of this tool. Please know that the string would be considered wearable and the rate at which it will need to be replaced depends on the use of the product. Wearable parts are the responsibility of the customer to replace. This unit may be rewound using a .065" trimmer line found at your local hardware store! For further discussion, please feel welcome to give us a call at 1-888-909-6757 (1-888-90WORKS) or by sending an email to info@greenworkstools.com.

Not much power, can't find replacement line anywhere. When I called Greenworks, I gave them the model number STF310 and they told me it didn't exist. Also bought the blower, not enough power to blow leaves.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Old technology brush motor

Unit quit after two seasons when brush hung up - grass and cutting moisture gummed up the brush track. Would not have purchased if I knew the motor had old technology brushes. Good performance when it was running.

Brushed Motor - Bad
on August 3, 2020
Posted by: GliderDriver

Used this unit for two seasons and it quit. I opened the case and found it used a brushed motor - and one of the brushes was frozen in place by dirt, grass and water ... A brushed motor is NG for trimming as grass is 90% water.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Was pleasantly surprised by how well this trimmer worked to clean up my yard. Plenty of power and battery life for hours of trimming. My only complaint is holding it for edging my lawn was awkward.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Runs off the same battery as the one that fits my Greenworks drill driver!

I was so excited to see this tool runs off the same battery as my drill driver! How cool is that. One battery, many tools! This string trimmer is perfect for me and my little yard. Just enough to get it done w/ minimal effort. Also impressed by the power. Haven't bogged it down yet!
I would recommend this to a friend!
