Efficient, Environmentally Friendly Battery Power
The Worx Cordless Trimmer/Edger is powered by an efficient, lightweight, rechargeable 18-volt Lithium Ion battery pack, which delivers plenty of power without the added cost of gas, the hassle of extension cords, or the pollution associated with gas-powered alternatives. The WORX lithium battery packs are exceptionally lightweight and provide 3 times the useable life of standard Ni-Cd batteries. The battery pack will even work with your other WORX Lithium Power Share tools; just swap it out when you're ready to move on to the next job. When you're not using the WorxGT, it stows out of the way with the included wall mount. The battery charges in approximately 1/2 hour!

Ergonomic Design for Maximum Comfort
The Worx Cordless Trimmer/Edger features several adjustable parts, making it as comfortable as possible to use and allowing you to garden with greater ease. It's built with ErgoSum Design Technology, so you can operate the WorxGT using a natural grip. The trimmer's front handle has multiple adjustable positions, and the rear grip is angled for maximum comfort. The shaft of the trimmer extends or retracts with a simple twist to match the height of every user and adapt to every application.

The handle also pivots easily to go from trimming to edging in a matter of seconds. The head of the trimmer also pivots 90 degrees to make light work of sloped surfaces and gives you access to grass under low-lying branches. A fold-away guard and twin wheel set add protection and accuracy to give your yard a professionally manicured look. At just 5.3 pounds, it's light enough for almost anyone to use. An automatic line feed keeps the trimmer from binding up and interrupting your work, and the 10-inch cutting radius covers plenty of ground.

The Worx GT 2-in-1 Cordless Lawn Trimmer/Edger is backed by a full two-year warranty.

Customer reviews

« Battery is useless »

I used the trimmer one time, put it on charge, and when I went to use it the second time, the battery would only last about 10 seconds. I emailed Worx, but no response. I finally reached them by phone and the lady said to charge and discharge it 6 times and the battery would hold a charge. After 6 over-night charges, the battery still failed.

« Battery performance not as advertised »

The Trimmer is satisfactory, but the lithium battery does not last very long at all. The advertisement shows trimmer can go around football field twice, before a charge. You would have to be a track star to get that much satisfaction from the battery. The battery does charge in a couple of hrs., but it takes all day to get your trimming done.

« The battery lost its power very quickly. »

The better battery charges in about 30 to 40 minutes. I choose to pay the additional price thinking it was better, however, it lost its power very quickly.
You no sooner get started trimming, then you have to re-charge the battery. I am
very glad I got the "quick charge" battery because it needs to be re-charged in about 25 to 30 minutes. The "slower charge" battery takes about 5 hours, needless to say it would take forever to do your trimming. It is on an average powerful enough to do the grass trimming, but with the one string it will not cut thicker grass. It is quiet, easy to handle, and light weight. I only wish that the "quick charge" battery would last long. As far as the TV advertisement (going around the football field, three times) "IT'S A JOKE" I guess I have to time myself when trimming.

« Bad battery »

The Trimmer worked fine for about 6 weeks, then the battery failed to keep a charge and I have not heard from the manufacturer, regarding any solution to the problem. Which makes the unit useless unless I want to purchase another battery for half the cost of the original product. Not very reliable in my opinion. Warranty and contact information would have been helpful before I made my decision on purchase.
