Cordless string trimmers combine the benefits of an electric device – a push start button, zero emissions, no need to maintain the engine, and comparatively silent operation – with the ease and convenience of a gas string trimmer. Go back a few decades, and there were hardly any cordless models available that had the power or battery life to be practically feasible.
Today is another story however, with electric cordless string trimmers that are both durable and practical. Of course, they still aren’t on the exact same level as gas powered models, but they get the job done. Battery powered string trimers are an excellent low cost option for those who only perform small trimming jobs. And since they run on a DC battery and don’t need to be connected to a power outlet, your area of movement won’t be bound by an extension cord. Cordless string trimmers are effective against errand weed and grass growth, but, be warned, most aren’t capable of dealing with hard weed and brush the way gas trimmers are. Developments in battery technology have enhanced the performance of cordless electric trimmers, leading to their enhanced popularity today.
