Greenworks 24V String Trimmer

What to know

When grass starts creeping over a walkway or weeds gather along a fence, a trimmer that can also edge can handle both jobs without switching to a separate tool. This Greenworks 24V model combines a 13-inch cutting path with a brushless motor, auto-feed line, and a second edging mode. It comes with a 4.0 Ah battery, a 65W USB-C charger, a 3-foot charging cable, and 10 plastic blades.

The listed weight is 5.51 pounds without the battery, so remember that the complete working setup will weigh more. The product details mention both a 0.080-inch single line and plastic blades, check which cutting method you plan to use and what each mode requires before getting started. The charger can also charge phones, laptops, tablets, and iPads, which gives it a use beyond yard work. A 3-year warranty is included.

Best use cases

The two modes are the main reason to consider this trimmer. Use the trimming mode to tidy grass around a lawn’s edges, then switch to edging for a neater line beside a path. That makes sense for routine touch-ups around a yard, especially when you’d rather use one tool for both jobs than keep a dedicated edger on hand. The 13-inch cutting path gives a clear sense of its reach, but the supplied details don’t establish how quickly it will cover a particular lawn.

It suits you if you want a cordless trimmer-and-edger setup with the battery and charger included. Greenworks also says the battery powers more than 200 of its 24V tools, including mowers and chainsaws, which may matter if you already use equipment in that system. Not the best choice if your priority is choosing a trimmer by a stated runtime or a measured working weight with the battery installed, those details aren’t provided. Without that measurement, it’s hard to judge how much ground you can cover per charge.

Tips for day-to-day use

For a typical touch-up, trim the grass along a border first, then switch modes to define the edge beside a sidewalk or garden bed. The auto-feed system is intended to advance the line without manual adjustment, reducing one small interruption during a session. Keep an eye on the cutting area and use the mode suited to the job rather than expecting the edging setting to replace careful trimming around delicate plants.

The included 4.0 Ah battery avoids the need to source one separately for this kit, but no charge time or runtime is listed. The charger’s USB-C connection is useful for compatible electronics as well, its inclusion doesn’t establish that every cable or device will charge at the same rate. If you’re comparing it with a basic string trimmer, the extra edging mode and charger flexibility are practical distinctions. If you’re comparing it with a more demanding yard-care setup, look for runtime and full-tool weight information before deciding.

Before you decide

How long does the battery run? The listed details give the battery capacity as 4.0 Ah but don’t state a runtime. Actual working time can’t be determined from capacity alone here.

Does it come with cutting supplies? Yes. The kit lists a 0.080-inch single line with auto-feed and 10 plastic blades. The description doesn’t explain how the line and blades are assigned to the two modes.

Can the charger do more than charge the trimmer battery? Yes. The 65W USB-C charger is also described as suitable for smartphones, laptops, tablets, and iPads.

Final verdict

This Greenworks makes the most sense if you want one cordless tool for trimming and edging, value the included battery and charger, and can make use of the 24V tool system. The auto-feed line and two cutting modes suit regular lawn-border maintenance. Choose a different setup if you need a known runtime, a confirmed working weight with the battery attached, or clearer guidance on which cutting attachment each task uses, the available details don’t answer those questions.
