Customer Review: Toro 13 inch trimmer
Toro products have always worked well for me doing landscaping and the 13 inch trimmer is no exception. Tough little machine.
Customer Review: Wimpy
My old Craftsman 2-cycle trimmer gave up the ghost so I decided to go green with an electric. Once I got it going, the old Craftsman used to make short work of the weeds in my garden and behind my house. The string broke about 12 times on the Toro and I had to open up the spool to fish it out. And the garden was only about 1/4 done. I finally threw it down in disgust and gave up. It may be OK for trimming the grass around the edges of your yard, but that's about it.

Designed for comfort and easy adjustment, this 2-in-1 tool easily converts from a trimmer to a walk behind edger which makes caring for your lawn a snap..

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 Review: Battery problems
The trimmer worked great - the first two weeks. Then, the charger started blinking red, which means the battery isn't accepting the charge. It was bought through an Amazon second party seller. They said the couldn't replace only the batter and to contact WORX. WORX said to go throught the seller because it was less than 90 days old. The seller has now agreed to ship a new trimmer, and I'm awaiting its arrival. I then will ship the old one back. This is all a hassle, but in the end the company was responsive. I read of other people having battery problems, but went ahead with the purchase. The trimmer design is good, but the battery may be the weak link.
Customer Review: Not worth it.
I bought this with the extra battery so that I could have a battery always ready. I need about one and one/half hours to trim everything. Even with the extra battery, I cannot do that. In addition, it doesn't cut powerfully enough to do the work. As a woman, the light weight appealed to me as well as the clean battery, but I will go to a gas trimmer next.

The battery pack swaps easily among the tools, making for efficient and economic usage and allowing the Worx tools to go wherever you need them. Plus, the cleaner, quieter battery-operated motors make for a much more environmentally friendly alternative to loud gasoline-powered garden tools. The battery will recharge in about an hour.

Every Worx tool is designed to fit you, with angled grips and adjustable handles for maximum comfort. They're built with ErgoSum Design Technology, so you can operate them using a natural grip and stance.

The shaft of the trimmer/edger extends or retracts with a twist, and the handle 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 the 10-inch cutting diameter, giving your yard a professionally manicured look.

Hedge Trimmer with 20-Inch Blade
The hedge trimmer's front handle has three adjustable positions, and the rear grip is angled for maximum comfort. The overmold soft inserts fight fatigue by absorbing vibration and make the trimmer easier to hold securely. A center-mounted battery gives the trimmer improved balance for even more accuracy and control, and the 20-inch blade reaches stray twigs and branches with ease.

Blower / Sweeper with 120 Mph of Force
The cordless convenience of the WorxAir blower/sweeper takes this handy tool everywhere but the living room. A proper grip fights fatigue by allowing you to work in a relaxed, natural position, while 120-mph air speed sweeps away debris on hard surfaces.

All three Worx Cordless Power Tools are covered by a two-year warranty.

Customer Review: WORX Yard Tools
I bought a 3in1 deal WORX brand. 1 is a weed eater & edger. 2 is a bush/hedge trimmer/shaper. 3 is a blower/sweeper. It came with 2 18 volt batteries & a charger & wall mounter. They are very light weight and adjusts to fit the person using it so you don't have to bend,etc. They are extremely easy to use & quick & no big deal about getting it out to use- no electrical cords, No pull starting for gas motors, no smells. THEY ARE GREAT!!! I am female & I can use them with arthritis & fybromyalgia, on my better days.
Customer Review: Not bad, better than expected!!
My wife both me the Worx 3 piece battery operated tools for Fathers Day. I'll start with the worst and move up. The Blower works but can't touch my existing 4cyl gas blower, so I don't use it. The trimmer, at first seemed to be not so powerful and awkward to use.That has changed, I found many adjustments for this unit that now makes it acceptable and works well. Still experimenting.... Now to the best! The hedge trimmer!! Wow, its 20inches long, very powerful for a battery unit and works as well as my old electric unit! The old electric unit went to the garbage and I just use this one. It can cut twigs that are thicker than a 1/4 inch with no problem. Very nice, not to worry about cords or gas. The package comes with two batteries, and they last and last. One good thing is that this is not a 3 in 1 tool. It is 3 different tools, and with the 2 batteries, any two tools can be used at once. Worx also sells these units as singles, in case you do not want the 3 piece package. The 3 piece package comes with a neat garage wall hanger, so you can neatly mount all three tools on any wall. In conclusion, at first I was not that impressed (except for the Hedge trimmer) but as I use these tools more and more, I'm getting more impressed with these products.

Arnold/Homelite .080 String Trimmer Head Assy #HL-080HA

Replacement spool for Homelite and John Deere curved shaft trimmers.
Customer Review: Piece of Junk
Does not work well at all - string tangles constantly around the trimmer head - not at all like the original.
Customer Review: Was exactly what I needed
I had thought about ditching my old Homelite trimmer when the string stopped feeding reliably. After installing the new trimmer head, however, I am back in business and saved myself about $150 for now.
