Practicalities
The WG157E 18V grass trimmer is light at only 1.9 kg and has convenient handles to make movement easier and more precise. It offers good value for money and is a good option for small to medium gardens.
Weight
There is no doubt that at only 1.9 kg this is one of the lighter and easier to manage cordless grass trimmers.
Power
The WORX WG157E grass trimmer is an 18V grass trimmer with a maximum output of 20V.
Charge time
You are looking at a charge time of roughly 2 hours. It is important to note that this model comes without a battery and charger. The batteries are interchangeable with other 20V Worx products which is a great convenience.
String type
This WORX WG157E trimmer uses a 3m threaded wire spool. The auto-release will give you the right length when you start the trimmer up. This saves time and hassle and delivers an optimal cut.
It uses a DNA2 Double Helix spool. This is an advanced design that cuts extremely well with less flutter and noise. The cleaner cut also means a healthier grass blade for a happier looking lawn. This design and the patented blended polymer is also more durable than the typical round string.
Feed type
The single line auto-feed system with an automatic release is convenient and user-friendly. It will keep you going longer and make adjustments quick and easy.
Edge trimming
It changes from a standard trimmer to an effective edger with ease. One simply has to rotate the head by 180-degrees. This is really easy and needs no tools. It literally takes a few seconds. The edge trimming is effective and the light weight of the trimmer helps maintain accuracy and precision without strain.
Features
The WG157E 18V has a light and comfortable design with easy conversion to an edger. The automatic line feed is convenient and saves time and hassle. The handle makes it comfortable and easy to move to allow for less strain and greater precision.
Another feature is the handy flower guard. It will protect smaller plants and other items on your lawn area. The shaft is extra-long to help you get into hard to reach parts of the garden.
