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.

Finally, I found a trimmer that I actually enjoy using! It does an amazing job, the string doesn’t break off easily, the powerload works simply, the engine is quiet and powerful, and the battery lasts for the entire job. I use it to edge and trim a 2/3 acre yard with sidewalks, fencing, mulch beds, and street curbs. I plan to purchase other Ego products and reuse this powerful battery.
The handle placement provides a central point that balances the heavier parts really well. Several of us put the EGO Carbon Fiber String Trimmer through its paces for well over an hour each, and none of us needed a bottle of Tylenol or a stiff drink afterward. The adjustable shaft length and adjustable handle make it easy to change users and positions very quickly. You can get the EGO ST1623 as a kit with the 4Ah battery, and the charger for $299.
A button above the trigger allows you to select Low or High speed. Using a 4Ah battery, the EGO string trimmer will run on Low for about an hour. All EGO tools carry a 5-year limited warranty purchased from authorized EGO retailers. There is a 3-year limited warranty on EGO Power+ System battery packs and chargers purchased from authorized EGO retailers.
I was able to trim around chain link fences, edge sidewalks and cut through the toughest grass and even thin branches that crop up in my yard around trees. You might think that almost all trimmers do this trick and you would be correct, But not all trimmers are this quiet and vibration-free. In fact, I when I began using it, I worried if it was operating at full power because it was so quiet.
Although the weight is tolerable, fatigue easily sets in without extra support. Haven’t yet had to reload so no information there. Battery lasted a full hour+ and recharged to full charge in similar time. The world’s first string trimmer with POWERLOAD™ Technology!

One of the notable features that our team got super stoked about is the carbon fiber shaft. EGO found a way to bring landscape tool users into the world of lightweight, strong, and durable carbon fiber. The benefits of a lighter and tougher shaft ought to be obvious to anyone who has ever picked up a string trimmer or pole saw. Carbon-fiber delivers a nearly impossible-to-break shaft that weighs far less than steel. It alleviates the stress on your back when using this tool for an hour at a time.
