2-Tools-in-1
The GT converts from a trimmer to an edger and back again. And you don’t need any tools to make that change. Save your money, don’t buy a separate trimmer and edger.
-
Command Feed
Just press the button to get more line. No bumping, no auto-feed is “guessing” when you need more line. You’re in command. Plus, when you buy the GT, you get fresh spools for life!
-
Adjustable Handle
Ergonomic 7-position handle for easy handling and comfort.


Spacer Guard
Protect flowers, plants, and lawn furniture from accidental trimming. The adjustable guard is your best friend when it comes to keeping the decorative parts of your landscaping safe.

Trim Hard to Reach Places
The head tilts a full 90° so you can trim in tight, awkward spaces, or so you can edge in uneven terrain. The handle is fully adjustable as well, so you can find a position that’s comfortable to work in.

The Command Feed spool system gives you line when you want it at the press of a button. The rubberized wheels provide traction and support for even, professional looking lines when you’re using the string trimmer. The head tilts 90° so you can trim on uneven patches of lawn. The adjustable spacer guard keeps protects the tops of flowers and plants. And at only 5.3 lbs. you can get your trimming and edging done without feeling fatigue from it. Two powerful 20V Power Share batteries are included with this purchase, which you can use on any tool on the WORX Power Share platform.

- Reviewed in the United States on March 12, 2025Style: Cordless String TrimmerVerified PurchaseThis works very well on our lawn in the south that is mostly weeds. The battery holds a good charge, I can cut the weeds in the flower beds and around the fence on one charge. It is light weight and safe enought for my elderly parents to use. It is adjustable for your height, so no back aches. Good value for the money and easy to use.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 9, 2017Style: Cordless String TrimmerVerified PurchaseI wanted to wait after a few uses. I think I've used it about 9-10 times now. So glad we got this. It is really light and makes trimming and edging seem almost fun now. Thinking back to my corded trimmer and always having to manually feed the line because the autofeed never worked right. The autofeed works on this almost flawlessly. I've only had to open the cap with the line twice. Once because I didn't autofeed in time and the line was no longer sticking out then the 2nd time was to swap it out. I just bought the 6 pack of line here on amazon because it was basically the same price.
Durability and use. After reading the reviews and how hard it was to snap into place I confirmed it was, but I read some and the materials they use are very durable. I think I read it on their homepage that the plastic used was the same plastic on helmets, so I think it will last a long time. I only have about a 1/4 acre of a yard. The first use was not under easy conditions because it rained a lot and things were getting a little tall. Under normal conditions this thing flies through the jobs. Both batteries easily get me through the front and backyard and edging around the flowerbeds. Sadly we got lazy on our backyard flowerbed and now we have grass/weeds...so I just whack them down for now. I know you can't have the perfect "conditional" yard to cut every time because of rain and growth...so 2 batteries is pushed to the limit then because it does bog down in thicker conditions. Not so much that it stops, but it definitely slows down then picks back up once cut.
It is light like everyone says, but I read somewhere here ( some elderly lady) where she crafted/engineered an old shoulder strap to help ease the load even more. I will tell you. I exercise and lift dumbbells 10x this weight, but hardly stopping now and moving...it does get heavy after awhile. So I have slowly been thinking how I can rig a shoulder strap. This will make it even faster. I feel my forearms after basically non-stop use of this.
The Batteries seem to hold pretty good constant charge for me. I make sure they're both fully charged before I do any work. The only complaint I have, and it may only be mine...is that the charger itself is REALLY snug when snapping in. Snapping into the tool itself is very easy. I don't think my wife or kids would actually be able to unlock it from the charger as snug as it is right now. It works so well and the snug snapping on the charger is not enough to make me want to deduct a star.
I plan to buy the hedger and blower next to have extra batteries and chargers. I think on one of them I'll just buy the tool itself. I think 3 batts and 2 chargers should suffice.
If I find any anomalies during the summer I will surely report it here. I use amazon reviews like crazy and trust everyone's positive and negative reviews. So if I read enough...I suppose i'd jump off a bridge with yall. Even if I don't buy from Amazon (oops?) I still normally buy something they may stock and read their reviews. Sometimes I just need something right then lol. Sorry Amazon.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 15, 2024Style: 12" String Timmer + Leaf Blower ComboVerified PurchaseLet me start by saying, I am by no means a professional landscaper or even a very knowledgeable person about lawn care in general. I did use this combo to do 2 rental properties on a little over 1/2 acre lot, and it worked great.
I purchased this combo and I have only used it once so far but felt like writing a review because I saw some negative reviews on here that I don't believe this product deserves.
EDIT 04/18/2024
Just used the equipment yesterday for the second time and already the trimmer quick feed is sticking. It wouldn't be such a big deal if it wasn't only the second time using it.. The other issue is flipping over to get more line gets old very quickly because the line is so weak.. Using the edger I have to flip and get more line every 5ft...
The pros:
I really do like this blower/trimmer combo, and it did a great job for 2 rental properties. Based on some reviews stating that the battery life couldn't get them through a single yard is strange to me because I trimmed, edged, and blew 2 driveways, 4 walkways, and almost an entire roughly 80ft sidewalk on both sides with less than 2 batteries. (I really think people complaining about battery life are not fully charging the batteries before the first use)
The blower has 2 settings, and I found the lower setting to be good enough for the job. I'm sure the high setting would probably drain the battery, but I did not use it so I cannot speak for it.
The trimmer is awesome in my opinion (other than weak string). Again, it's super lightweight, has the quick feed option on the handle, and the edger attachment is great. I don't plan on being real rough on these items, but I will say I worry about how long the edger attachment might last as it seems a little cheap.
The cons:
My biggest issue is that the string on the spools (including the extras I purchased) are only available in .065 thickness, so they break very easily. That being said, the quick feed option on the handle helps a lot; it just isn't great to go through line so quickly.
My second, and really only other con, is that the batteries take FOREVER to charge. Again, this isn't a huge issue being that I purchased 2 extra batteries and had 4 total, so it was more than enough to get the job done.
Summary:
All together, I would highly recommend this combo especially at the price point. I've only used it once, and my review will change if my view of the product changes, but as of now, I have been impressed with it. For a little more reference, I attached a picture of the 2 properties I took care of. All of this was done with less than 2 batteries.

Style: Cordless String TrimmerVerified PurchaseTenia un truper de cable. Me harte de andar cargando con el cable, ademas de que me fallaba seguido la alimentacion del hilo. Con este equipo Work, estoy mas que satisfecho. Mi jardin mide 20mts cuadrados y lo uso solo para las orillas y la pila aguanta varias cortadas (4-5) sin acabarse.

5.0 out of 5 stars Really happy with this trimmer
Style: Cordless String TrimmerVerified PurchaseThis trimmer does what it is supposed to do. I’ve had it for a couple of weeks now and the battery lasts long enough to trim my entire yard twice, which is better than I expected. The unit came with two batteries, so I keep one in the charger at all times to ensure I always have power when I need it. The string advance feature works well. The string itself is much thinner than I’m used to, but it works just as well as the thicker string I used with my old trimmer. This trimmer is light and easy to use and the edger feature is great! Overall, I am very pleased with this purchase.
