I bought this 15″ model when it first came out as initial reviews suggested they finally designed a working head. I use it without the guard as that gives me much more precise control . If you are careful to always work opposite the string rotation direction, it’s not a problem. The trimmer I reviewed comes with a 2.5Ah battery and charger.
This method is easy and efficient, though we found the spool difficult to open in the event of maintenance. To feed out more string, you need to lightly bump the trimmer head against the ground, allowing for uninterrupted weed-eating action. Speed settings are adjusted by changing the pressure on the trigger, though the range is essentially high speed and then higher speeds. This limited-time offer is only available to the purchase of $695 or more of appliances, online at rona.ca and in participating stores in Quebec. The service includes no carpentry or plumbing work, no wall hanging nor plugging in gas appliances.
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.
The carbon fiber shaft drops the weight while providing plenty of strength and rigidity. Quiet, powerful, and well-designed, this string trimmer currently leads the playing field. We also love that, once you get on the EGO platform, you gain access to their Select Cut lawn mower , Peak Power lawn mower, 56V hedge trimmer, and other tools. For use with the EGO POWERLOAD™ 15 in string trimmer . The number 1 customer compliant with any string trimmer is line replacement.
So from where we stand, EGO took an already great product and made it better while remaining the best value in the cordless string trimmer game. Along with my now shelved Stihl gas trimmer, I have an older corded electric trimmer that I’ve almost never used for one main reason—and it’s not the cord. The corded trimmer was either full power or off. There is no variable speed trigger like gas models have. Chalk up another win for EGO, because the POWERLOAD String Trimmer has a variable speed control that works just like a gas trimmer.
