Greenworks string trimmer, 24V

What to know

If you mainly need to tidy grass along a lawn edge and trim around obstacles, a cordless 2-in-1 tool may be more useful than buying a trimmer and edger separately. This Greenworks model pairs a 12-inch cutting path with a brushless motor, dual line, and a head that converts for edging, so it’s aimed at routine yard cleanup rather than heavy-duty clearing.

The telescoping aluminum shaft adjusts for users from 4'8" to 6'5", and the tool weighs 5.25 lbs without the battery. Ten plastic blades, a 3.0 Ah battery, a 65W USB-C charger, and a 3-foot charging cable are included. Keep in mind that the listed weight excludes the battery, and no runtime is provided, so the product details don’t show how long a charge lasts in your yard.

How to use it

For a typical pass, use the trimmer mode to clean up grass around a fence or planting bed, then switch to edging to define the border along a walkway. The adjustable shaft lets you set the reach to your posture instead of working at a fixed length. Its 0.065-inch dual line and 12-inch path give you a clear sense of the cutting setup, though the listing doesn’t specify how it handles thick, woody growth.

The kit includes ten replacement plastic blades as well as the dual-line setup described in the product details. Since both are mentioned but their intended tasks aren’t explained, check the included instructions to see when each is meant to be used. The maker also says the 65W USB-C charger can charge phones, laptops, tablets, and other digital devices, that feature may be handy, but it isn’t a substitute for knowing the trimmer’s runtime.

Practical tips

Start with the shaft adjusted so you can guide the head without leaning forward, then work along the lawn edge in short, controlled passes. That setup can make a quick touch-up around a sidewalk feel less awkward than using a fixed-length tool. The 5.25-lb figure is for the trimmer without its battery, so the complete working weight will be higher.

A solid pick if you want one battery-powered tool for everyday trimming and edging, plus a height-adjustable shaft. It also uses a 24V battery platform listed as compatible with more than 200 Greenworks 24V tools, which may matter if you already own equipment in that system. You may want to skip it if your priority is long sessions or tackling dense brush: the supplied details don’t state runtime or define its capacity for heavier growth.

Before you decide

Can it trim and edge? Yes. It’s described as a 2-in-1 trimmer and edger, with a head that converts between the two modes.

Does the kit include a battery and charger? Yes. It includes a 3.0 Ah battery, a 65W USB-C charger, and a 3-foot charging cable.

Can the shaft be adjusted for different users? The telescoping shaft is listed for users from 4'8" to 6'5". That gives a useful fit range, though comfort can still depend on how you hold and guide the tool.

Final verdict

This Greenworks trimmer makes sense for homeowners who want a single cordless tool for ordinary grass trimming and lawn-edge touch-ups, especially if its 24V platform is already part of their yard-care setup. The adjustable shaft and included battery make the package more ready to use than a bare tool. Choose a different approach if your work involves thick brush or you need a clearly stated runtime before buying, those details aren’t provided here.
