Battery-Powered Weed EatersTested: EGO, Milwaukee, DeWalt, Ryobi, Kobalt, Makita, Atlas (Harbor Freight), Greenworks, and ECHO. String trimmers (weed eaters) tested for cutting speed, trimmer head efficiency at dispensing trimmer line, trimmer head string capacity, noise level, vibration, electric motor start-up torque, maximum run time, battery recharge time, and debris shield design. I purchased all of the string trimmers to ensure a fair an unbiased review without any pressure from manufacturers. So, thank you for supporting the channel.

For about 13 years now, I have owned and operated a licensed lawn maintenance business in northern Idaho and have been running the dual battery Makita commercially now for 3 years and have had ZERO issues with it! I did upgrade to a speed loading head and would highly recommend it! It has more than paid itself off with gas/oil mix savings for how much I work it. I haven't used any other electric trimmers and went with Makita because I already had 16 batteries, but again, no complaints at all. I rarely utilize the feature, but it is very handy to have the reverse spinning option, it automatically reverts to the regular rotation after 5 seconds. It's handy also for getting the backside of large square posts on vinyl fencing, as it's not possible to hit one side with one type of fixed rotation. You can also feather the throttle at any of the 3 speed settings. Great product! Thank you so much for making these extremely in-depth thorough un-biased videos, I just discovered your channel and subscribed, and am hooked and already recommending you to family and friends! I will most certainly be referencing your channel before any sort of purchases in the future 🙂 God bless

You mention "more than paid itself off"... I'm wondering if you buy the pre-mixed gas which is like $20-25 a gallon? Because even at $3.50/gallon gas (plus whatever minimal expense adding the oil is), mixing it yourself isn't that expensive. As a homeowner I doubt I even go through a gallon a season, but I understand you do this daily/professionally...
@battlefieldking8749
@battlefieldking8749 5 дней назад
@@timfischer no I never buy the pre mixed stuff, that’s a rip off in my book. I buy the silver stihl bottles of oil, HP ultra full synthetic 5 gallon mix containers that are about $8-$10 each and I buy non-ethanol premium gas, so it’s about $6 a gallon when mixed.

I've learned that if I have a lot of tall grass to cut with a trimmer, it's best to walk backwards while you trim. This keeps the grass from bunching up around the head. In the end, you have grass that's laid down nice and even, with no clumps. The string seems to last longer too as it's not trying to recut the grass clippings.
@MrBradshawbenjamin
@MrBradshawbenjamin 2 года назад

One of my friends bought a DeWalt industrial cordless hammer drill. I saw he had a plaster cast on his left wrist, & asked what happened. He told me he was drilling a large hole in 6mm thick steel, using low gear. The drill bit jammed, & the torque of the drill busted his wrist.

Ryobi sponsored a engineering capstone team at my school (GT) to work specifically on battery trimmer vibration, so hopefully there will be improvements seen in their upcoming models as the team was able to figure out some relatively straightforward solutions to the problem. I was in the same class but worked on another project.

I bought two EGOs earlier this year to weed whack my half acre, very steep, hillside. The first one had the standard bump feed head, and the other was the model tested here. I was able to complete the job significantly faster (probably twice as fast) using the model with the auto feed rather than the bump head because the steep uneven slope caused me to waste line when I'd inadvertently strike the hillside. Something to consider for those working different terrains. After watching this video, I'm thinking that Milaukee or Dewalt would be nice to try, but the reason I went with the EGO was the massive battery. Two large batteries are definitely needed for doing a half acre job, so you can alternate the battery in service vs on the charger. Awesome video! Thanks for the hard work.

Long term tester here - the old version of the Kobalt was developed by Briggs & Stratton with it being sold through Snapper. I have had this weed eater with 2 batteries working great & zero issues since 2015. From 2015-2018 on 1 acre of land (with 2 batteries was plenty). Since 2019-2022 on .25 acre and still going strong. Just throwing in .02 for longevity test.

I own the same Kobalt trimmer used in this video and it performed in these tests as I expected. I wanted an attachment capable trimmer and already had the batteries, so also got the Kobalt 80v attachment capable version used since I could no longer find it in stores. Makes sense that the Kobalt performed badly in the torque test here. It really struggles with the more torque dependent attachments like the edger unfortunately.

I bought the same Ryobi in the video a week before seeing this video. I love the trimmer and it reminds me of a gas without all the noise. I haven’t used a gas trimmer probably since 2001. Previously I had a Ryobi hybrid trimmer that worked with either 18V battery or extension cord. I almost always used it with extension cord for more consistent power and lack of breaks to change batteries. The motor recently burned out while using a battery on a simple task, the trimmer was nearly 15 years old anyway… I bought that new Ryobi and it was phenomenal. I’m finally able to tackle over grown grass that 6’+ that the old trimmer could never affect.

As always! Informative/educational. I will wait till Spring! I believe much improvement in battery operated machinery is on the horizon. Thanks for the video.

I have that exact same model ryobi trimmer. It works great around my house. I run it with a 6 amp battery that I share with it and a ryobi lawn mower. Unless my grass is unusually thick I can mow and trim my whole yard on a single charge of that battery.

That is cool. I like the ryobi stuff. All of my tools are Ridgid tools and had i thought about it at the time I would have just bought all ryobi stuff. They just have more options. I bought the 18v weed eater and then also bought the little handheld compressor. I am going to phase out all my ridgid tools to Ryobi and then next year I plan on investing in some of the 40v stuff. If batteries were all the same style for example 18v and 40v that could be interchangeable people would buy the better product and not worry about the battery brands. Brand buying is what keeps people stuck with their current brand.

Same. I can do my whole front and backyard without killing the battery. It's not beast but way easier than gas, gets the job done. You got the edger?

@@peaceinator56 I don't have the edger yet but it's on my wish list to expand my collection in the future. Currently I just use the string trimmer to dig at my edges since my house doesn't have very much sidewalk area to worry about.

Love the videos. You’re thorough testing helped me choose the best brand for the jobs I’ll be doing. I’ve just started an apprenticeship as a marine engineer. Anyways, I think making a video testing different cordless radios would be a great one. Although they aren’t tools as such, they’re an essential for many trades and would definitely make an interesting video!

Amazingly thorough! Tested so many catagories I lost count. Thank you for testing the run time and charge time of the batteries. I have one cordless circular saw that drains batteries 4 time faster than they charge... So thank you again for testing metrics that do not appear on the box. Also, I never thought of the vibration or decibles being a factor I cared about but those are now considerations thanks to your channel.
