I have used my Ego 56 volt string trimmer for over 3 years now doing non-commercial yardwork. IMO, this is all one needs for a homeowner. If you have a large property, live on a ranch or farm, then go petrol.

I had a model older than this one that I love. My sister has difficulty with tools that are too heavy and she actually loved mine and found it easy to use kzfaq.infoUgkx_rBCFuDW1zD6blTGhLkvAkxU657uR_lG . This is a newer model but was even lighter which she really appreciates. She enjoys it and I no longer have to go to her house to trim as she can handle it fine. Haven't used it enough to comment on the battery life but lithium batteries last longer than the old style. Being cordless makes it easy to trim the far edges of the property. The entire yard can be trimmed with one charged battery.

I've been using gas trimmers for over 20 years... I recently got an ego 56v battery trimmer... I'll never own another 2 stroke trimmer again.

I have the Milwaukee quik lok system, trimmer, hedge trimmer, pole saw, extension, edger. I also have a stihl km131r and I like depending on what I’m doing. At home I use the Milwaukee a lot, and on other properties I use the stihl. I have several new XC8.0 like what came with my Milwaukee trimmer kit, and a couple HD12.0 and I can do a lot but still go to gas for extended heavy duty use on 15 houses a week, I just don’t like putting that wear on the batteries

Thank you for a straight to the point video

Milwaukee didn’t last long enough so I was recharging the batteries. I love Milwaukee and some of my favorite tools are Milwaukee, but when it comes to yard work I am sending the Milwaukee back and buying a lighter stihl km 94 r

Very helpful video! Thanks, Handyman Dan!

Safety first. Wear your Safety glasses.

Where is your eye protection? Bad form

M18 can do 6,200rpm but the Kombi can do about 10,000RPM. I bet the M18 got more torque at 600rpm than Kombi at 6,000rpm.

Go Gamecocks

Never compare gas whith battery

Electric ones suck. I burned through 2 electric weed wackers, different brands. Used each one less than 20 times. The electric motors start smoking and burn out. Crap.

Milwaukee batteries burn up,on lawn equipment and i have 2 9ah batteries both no good from using on my blower and weedeater, went 60 volt toro much better for lawn equipment
