Greenworks 40V Cordless Strimmer Lawn Edger (G40LT33) with Wheel, 33cm Cutting Width
Product description
What it is and what it’s for
This Greenworks 40V cordless strimmer lawn edger (model G40LT33) is built for the in-between jobs your lawnmower usually can’t handle. Think long grass creeping over edges, and the border work around beds where you want a clean line without nicking plants.
On paper, it’s a simple idea done sensibly: you get trimming capability and edging in one tool. The cutting head rotates 90° at the press of a button, so you can move from general tidy-up to shaping lawn edges without swapping equipment.
Key takeaways on the design
A big part of using a strimmer/edger is ergonomics. This model includes an adjustable front handle and a telescopic shaft for extra reach, which should help if you’re often trimming around awkward corners or long borders where bending gets annoying.
There’s also a built-in plant guard. In everyday terms, that’s there to reduce the risk of damaging the bark at the base of trees (by keeping the guard against the trunk) and to help you trim along beds without immediately shredding flowers and shrubs.
And because it includes a wheel, it’s the sort of tool you can guide with a bit more control when you’re trying to keep a consistent edging line.
The trimming edge: where it feels strongest
The cutting width is 33cm, and it uses an autofeed 1.65mm nylon line. Autofeed is one of those features you don’t notice until you’re working—when you need line to keep up with the job, it’s helpful not to stop and manually adjust.
A practical micro-scenario: you’ve cut the lawn, then spend 20 minutes around the path and along the front border. With a typical mower, those edges look a bit ragged. With this design, you can run it along the border, flip the head into edging mode, and quickly tidy the line so it looks more intentional.

What you’ll like vs where it may fall short
Where it stands out is the “do two jobs quickly” approach: trimming and edging using the same tool, plus the 90° head rotation. The adjustable handle/shaft and plant guard suggest it’s aimed at real garden use where you want reach and a bit more protection for nearby plants.
That said, it’s worth noting one limitation: this package is explicitly “WITHOUT 40V battery & charger”. If you don’t already own a Greenworks 40V system battery, you’d need to factor in that extra purchase. It may also suit small to medium gardens best, so if you’re expecting heavy-duty, constant long edging sessions, you might find a larger, more purpose-fitted setup more appropriate.
Is it a good fit for you?
It’s a good fit if you want a cordless strimmer/edger combination for border tidy-ups, especially where your lawnmower can’t reach cleanly. It makes sense if you already have (or are willing to use) a Greenworks 40V battery, because the tool is designed to run with Greenworks 40V 2Ah or 4Ah batteries.
It might not be a great match if you’re buying your first 40V Greenworks tool and don’t want to commit to the battery platform. Likewise, if you’re only after occasional trimming with minimal edging, you may find a simpler approach more cost-effective—this one is built to be guided and used fairly regularly.
Final verdict
Worth considering if you’re after a lightweight, well-balanced strimmer lawn edger for edging borders with more control, and you like the convenience of switching between trimming and edging at the press of a button. If you already own the right Greenworks 40V battery, this “tool only” bundle can be a practical way to extend your kit without buying duplicates.
Buy it when you value reach (telescopic shaft), safer-looking contact thanks to the plant guard, and you want a wheel to help you keep a consistent edge.
Skip it if you don’t have any compatible Greenworks 40V battery already and you’d rather avoid the extra cost and storage that comes with batteries and chargers.
