My Favorite String Trimmer Recommendations:
I recommend getting a battery set to match you needs. One on the charger and the other in the tool. This will cover most projects. If you have a huge property with hrs of use planned consider a large capacity battery set. Keep in mind they get heavy as the capacity increases. Only get what you need plus a little extra just in case. I own a 7.5 - 5.0 - 2.5. These seem to cover all the bases here at my house.
EGO Carbon Fiber String Trimmer This is by far the best home owner version on the market. Its pro level quality. I have been a customer of EGO for years and do not have anything bad to say about the quality of the tools or the quality of the results. You can’t go wrong here.
Replacement Cutting Line I use .95 twisted to cut my turf grass and weeds. A great mix of precision cutting and toughness.
Battery Larger Capacity 7.5 This is a large heavy battery that lasts a very long time. More than enough for most situations. A great second battery.
Battery Medium Capacity 5.0 This is a great middle size battery with good life. It works well and lasts a lot longer than you would thing. Will work well for most small-medium sided string trimming jobs.
Battery Small Capacity 2.5 This is a smaller batter that sometimes comes with the tool. It is ok as a back up but will not make it through a large job without recharging. It is light which is great but you will need a few of them if you want to keep the tool lightweight and go with short duration use.
Build your Own Multi Tool Combo Best way to go. Pick what you want and do not get what you don’t need.
EGO Multi Tool This is a fantastic tool for those that want a multi tool product that is great quality. Swap out the tool ends to meet your needs. I have the stick edger, Chain saw. These have eliminated the need for gas tools. I like them all.
Chain Pole Saw Really cool add on for your yard work. Carbon Fiber. Works amazing.
String Trimmer Great high quality carbon fiber string trimmer.
Stick Edger Ultra high quality carbon fiber stick edger. Gets crisp lines down any sidewalk or driveway. I love it.
EGO Leaf Blower This is my longest owned tool from EGO. A true staple in the detailing world for drying cars. Extremely powerful and extremely well built. This is a must have for car detailing and lawn care. Comes with a 5.0 battery.
