15″ Cordless String Trimmer w Carbon Fiber Split Shaft

We always look forward to these visits because we often get to preview new EGO products. This trip was no exception, and we got our hands on the latest EGO Carbon Fiber String Trimmer with an Auto-Feeding Powerload Head . It’s the only technology of its kind and removes a major pain point in reloading string. We’ve now officially reviewed this battery-powered trimmer and even compared it to other models in our latest best battery-powered weedeater roundup . Pro Tool Reviews is a successful online publication that has been providing tool reviews and industry news since 2008. In today’s world of Internet news and online content, we found that more and more professionals researched a large majority of their major power tool purchases online.

EGO has taken this pain point away with the World’s First EGO POWERLOAD™ trimmer head. The 35cm cutting swath, bump-head line advancement, and professional-grade 2.4mm cutting line make this tool truly professional grade. EGO parts are designed specifically for your EGO POWER+ products and offer the highest quality, performance, and value. I bought one of their string trimmers, the low end mower, and a couple batteries.

This includes a 5-year tool warranty and a 3-year battery warranty. The POWERLOAD String Trimmer is much, much quieter than my gas trimmer and it also doesn’t vibrate my arms into numbness like the gas model does. It’s great that technology today allows a battery trimmer that matches the power of a gas model. After using the EGO for many days, I can’t imagine going back to my gas trimmer. Whereas the other EGO straight shaft trimmer has the motor at the battery and a drive shaft.

I’d left the trimmer on the ground and I accidentally stepped on just the plastic trigger snapping it off right at the housing. No problem I thought, I’ll order a replacement. Opened it up, removed the plastic trigger, looked online for the part number and found out that Ego wouldn’t sell the part to me.

Unless you buy another toolkit setup with another battery and charger – like say the hedge trimmer or a chain saw, etc. I mean it’s not like you’ll use the hedge trimmer every weekend. But you’d have the other battery and another charger for less. Now you can have 2 batteries ready and change they both at once if need be.

In the case of this system since the motor is on the end of the trimmer head – that sort of negates the attachment idea. Otherwise you would put motors in each attachment. It seems this Swiss made spray blower will work with Metabo 18V batteries, this brand just joined CAS with Metabo. They have other battery operated tools also. The testing conditions were very aggressive and very demanding. It’d be better if I could rent a brush cutter or mower, but the EGO 15″ trimmer worked well and even better than I had expected.
