me too, i must have got an older version

Yes, you can. Anything is possible with enough patience, I personally wouldn't reccomend it based on the stress factor involved :-P

Hey :-) the nitro range now comes with a 5 year warranty and the brushless motor is backed by a 10 year warranty, just make sure you register within 30 days of purchase, :-) with regard to the battery mod.... probably not without fairly extensive modification. The wg633 comes with a waterproof battery case enabling it a higher ip rating you would need to explore removing the case and modifying it leaving behind the contacts removing the water proof box, if you did this it would likely void the warranty - that said a 5 year warranty is pretty strong so take it as a bold confidence boost to the quality of the products. I have over 70 worx tools and have had 2 arrive DOA, both were maker x products, one a soldering iron with a misaligned screen the other the mini angle grinder that worked for two seconds went forward then flay out backwards and stopped!? both were replaced within 3 days, all the other tools, mowers, batteries, chargers strimmers, chainsaws DIY tools etc all still work just as well as the day I bought them, some have cosmetic wearing and dirt in their crevices, and some have scuffed and faded writing and labels but on the whole still function and are just as powerful as the day they were made, overall are amazing for their cost vs longevity - a fact that I can only see getting better and better over the years I have had my worx tools. Indeed the wg633 is now a good year and a half old now and it is still strong as an ox and works just as good now as it did when new (probably upwards of 90 x 4ah batteries used through it including fence panel prep, car and bike washing, patio care and hot tub cleaning along with filters and internals too.

@@mikesptworld Thanks you for your nice reply. I ordered wg633 today :) so it is better to buy additional worx battery, some changes and modifications make in the future when guaranty ends.

@@JustxxxRaV its worx nitro so if you register it within 30 das of purchase you get 5 year warranty......... you may be waitin a while!!

@@mikesptworld yes , true long time. To use my dewalt batteries I ordered one more tool: dewalt vacuum dcv501 :)

​@@mikesptworld Mike, there is no wg633 on the products list to register my nitro worx 😢 The serial number and purchase date is correct.

Dried paint is far more entertaining though especially when it starts bubbling and blistering! :-D

just using a pre adapted hose is probably smarter option. though when i get my overhead extractin tubing system in place it may be a smarter option though for an average joe setup this is more than adequate, i mean if you have a 6 foot tal dust extractor then you most probably also have enough room for a smaller size shop vac too 😛 - the bag it comes with is sufficient for most peoples use. you will always get dusty, it is nearly impossible to negate every last speck of dust - if you know of a way to make wood work meet a rolls Royce factory then please take my money! :-D

Define 'power' it has a more powerful brushless motor and chucks a bigger diameter twin string cassette compared to the wg163 with it's single string casette, it will run for approximately 30minutes on a full 4ah battery. I use it to do approximately 400m of the perimeter of my property, and it does it just fine. It's very capable and an ideal upgrade to the wg163, it is just that though an upgrade, rather than a brushless version of the wg163

@@mikesptworld thanks....how i understood it slightly powerful against wg 163...that is what i need..20% more power will do the job

@ivangolem1459 it's about 50% more power in Fairness to it! :-P

@@mikesptworld really...then it's more than perfect... thanks again

It has real easy one touch removal, small keyway on the base, flick it open and the brush and one end cap pulls straight out, super easy, it has spiral cut outs to run scissor blades or the hilt of a knife down to clear it off, though generally speaking it's only real long human hair that ends up wrapping round the brush.

I am so glad you find yours so handy, I was using mine to trim some brambles at the back of my boundary fence...... I then realised "some brambles" is a pile 8 foot tall.... the secateurs had used 1 of 5 bars of battery :-)

😆 if you use excessive pressure then yes it will stop, it's like trying to do a burnout in a ugo and claiming it stalled because the engine wasn't powerful enough, it's about portable convenience, its not a mains power substitute. One day maybe but not today.

Sounds like a primary fuse has blown though I have never experienced this first hand I have noted in the new batteries they feature a fusible link between the positive final terminal and the main board has a narrow section to act as a fuse if ultra-high current is discharged. Any battery post 2021ish has this feature I believe. Another thing that could have happened is the commutator on the brushed motor could have been fouled - a simple(!?) Strip down and electrical contact cleaner spray could solve it or if the brushes have been singed then they may be sticking in their tracks, another job for isopropyl alcohol or contact cleaner and a gentle swipe with fine abrasive if the brushes are removable to remove any burrs, after that I am a bit out of ideas, apart from looking for SMD's or following where the uncapturable white smoke has come from I am at a loss, poor soldering connections, loose wires, attempt to trace the circuit..... long arduous process after that I fear,

@@mikesptworld I'm grateful for the link you've provided, thanks. I'm just a bit wary of using an unbranded product. Might it affect the warranty? May I ask if you've had to replace the spool yet? Sorry so many questions! It's just that I ordered this grass trimmer yesterday at what appeared to be a bargain price. I believe that the machine does come with 2 spools supplied, but I have no idea how far they'll take me? Just to be on the safe side I thought I'd stock up with some extras in advance, but it's proving harder than I thought!

I can't honestly say for these exact ones, though I bought some (6) for the wg163 that were aftermarket specials - 4 years later Iater I have given my wg163e to my father in law and still have 2 reels left! In honesty I only managed to use 1 reel a year! Though the wg173 is a bit more of an animal, I am still on my first reel :-) these are the ones I have earmarked for purchase, they don't affect warranty as long as they are classed as a consumable item much like petrol in a car, you can also keep the old reels and re wind your own reels with 1.65mm cluparis trimmer line, though the pre wound ones tend not to self bind and lock on the reel as much.

In my use I fond they max out right at 26mm so are bang on par for their claims.

I have not seen them for sale separately yet myself, well worth while as the wg761 is certainly a beast to behold!

I have used a 4ah and a 6ah, they both fit and work, are rather heavy on the unit and compromise that ultralight feel - honestly the battery feels like the heaviest part - this weight is then doubled with a 4ah and a 6ah pack (weirdly they weigh similar weights - see my battery video for more details) the only down side is they don't fit in the upright charger slot with the 4ah pack however it does fit in the above charging slot though if you own a 4ah pack you likely own other worx tools so have a stand alone fast charger so this really is a matter of minor inconvenience.

@@mikesptworld thank you for your reply. I’m glad to know that the other battery amps works. I have nitro share and I mostly have 40v 4ah batteries. But I also do have some 20V 2ah powershare ones too. I’m excited to try it. I’ve been using a handheld that only lasts for 20 minutes. I actually spend more time charging it than using it. The one I bought from worx is just the tool only because that’s the one that was on sale. I have more than a couple chargers and a few of the 4 Ah/2 Ah so I think I’ll be covered.

all you need to do is to unclip tyhe orange shield from the base of the head, it should be fairly easy to locate as the buttons / recess presses are on the side of the reel near the exit holes, remove that and either manually unwind or push the small black nub on the side of the rrel to allow the reel to move forward a little bit and dispense a little more line for you to thread through the hole, failing that remove the line, unravel a small length and thread it back through the holes, make sure you put the orange case cover back on too. hope this helps, Mike

Hope it is right for your use, I have certainly not had any issues with it. Its insane chain speed and virtually no boflg down even if you push on it with your full weight - which in my case is alot :-p certainly a flagship product.

Many thanks for tgevpositive vibes :-) I do think it is slightly non descript in the instructions - I struggled to muddle through it myself so I thought a video may help a few consumers out :-)

I'm so grateful for your comment and I am glad it helped and was of use to you :-)

Thanks for the comment :-D I would say it's an upgrade from the wg163 but in reality it's only similarity is its a strimmer..... dual line for a start, slightly thicker cord, much greater mass at the head end really cries for more power, again I feel it could do with a eco / slower mode as the normal strimmer mode is quite aggressive, that said it now doubles up as a strimmer, edger and mini mower too! As the wheel comes off and sits central giving more versatility, that said it also makes it slightly less froogle on power, so 4ah required for serious use with a 2ah reserved for a quick strim on smaller gardens for sure.

@mikesptworld Thanks to you I already have a 4ah from the hshot nitro, (still getting loads of use and going strong) as well as a spare 2ah if I run out of juice on a project. Only ever needed that 2ah if I forgot to fully charge the 4ah before use. Nice to have though just incase, or the 2ah for smaller stuff...or for between cut trimming! Lol ✂️ I went with the nitro trimmer today and it's good to see the pros you mentioned in your reply, TY. I'm hoping I can use a thicker gauge line, for cutting through slightly heavier stems (although not a dealbreaker). Defo looking forward to being able to edge and spot-mow areas that might be trickier for a mower. Brushless motor 👍 I think it's currently about £200 for the body, charger and battery combo. Possibly more if purchased as individual items. And many other brands prices creep up even higher after you make the necessary battery/ charger system purchase, with seemingly less runtime, and sometimes a less juicy battery than the 4ah. So £99, I can't complain. Actually looking forward to picking it up tomorrow. Cheers for the very insightful video.🙏and reply.

Ok, this thing makes it too easy, in a good way! I feel like David Copperfield, strimming one handed. The wheel is great. Do I need it? No, but I will use the forward facing, sideway facing, and edging configs. It does help keep off the ground, and from scalping lawn. ​ Most surprised about how light it is and how compact for storage. It's so light that I ended up mowing the whole lawn with it to save dragging the mower out 😅 You weren't kidding when you said it'll take on anything, yet not damage things. I was planning to keep the shield off for nimble maneuverability and easier cleaning... but that would take away the wheel connector (I think). Ergonomics. The multi angle combo's possible between the secondary handle and the deck means that no matter your height, and arm length, the ergonomics are tailor made for everyone. If I had only 2 gripes, they'd be that I wish the secondary handle could be slid down the main shaft, and that the shaft would be longer (that's what she said), because the weight at the top end can get a bit much on the right arm, especially when doing side to side action with the wheel. I notice this more because my right arm is healing from injury. Forward wheel action a breeze. The other thing is, because of the above issue, the secondary handle could do with being more girthy and padded since the user is supporting the weight and side to side swings. They need to develop four way suspension around the handle basically. 😂 Seriously though. I'm magnifying issues, this thing is brilliantly designed and requires laughably minimal effort to use. I'd recommend to any senior citizen too. Haven't tested the edger feature yet, which I think is the most exciting feature. Thanks for leading me to this product choice. @mikesptworld

@morgan8937 wow with such an in depth review I should head for the retirement home :-P lol i jest! Seriously though, great feedback and I'm glad that my video helped you make the right choice.

You can use 2mm cord no problem...if you can find it from a Makita cord that's not round, it's like that lucky grass with four 🍀 leaves..it is really strong cord

Yes there are, I have seen a few other channels use them and it appears the worx one is superior to use for them.

If you are a first time chainsaw user it is a near foolproof design with very little risk associated with it, this alone must be a plus for it no?

You should see the 12m/s brushless wg325..... made for the clinically insane who like to cut 2 branches off in under 1 second..... a true muscle flex from worx showing what they can do :-)

Honestly it's soft enough it doesn't mark my paint, coupled with the fact that there is about 70+ layers of wax and or polish it's never going to show, I am more concerned of the car park door dings than I am about the fact that a brush may scratch a few layers of polish, however I do get the generic statement of don't use brushes on paintwork however I have done for 3 years now and I warmly welcome you to find any major paint swirling on my car caused directly from using the worx rotary brush or their flush brush, maybe it does and then they are so light they just polish out? Maybe I'm just lucky or maybe my car is such a disgusting shade of dog turd brown you never see it for being so disgusted by the colour!? :-P

Grab hoover from stand hoover whole house with ease vs. Carrying big heavy hoover round house, upstairs aswell, unplugging for different rooms, performance pick up is nearly matched so I really see very little advantage in a corded one anymore, the line at the moment is so fine you can only really argue on run time. It seems the more I use it the better it is.

@@mikesptworld and leave most of the crap buried in the carpet.

Unfortunately our building work has been delayed quite a bit but I wanted to get the video out, if not it will be september...... though of which year I am still unsure!! But rest assured that when I do will be filming it!! 2 full internal walls! In brick too because I have a rather old house :-P

That's a new 2024 model that I will be reviewing soon :-)
