In this case, you simply flip the lever, pull or push the aluminum telescoping shaft to the desired height, and you’re good to go. We prefer to do it while standing so we can see exactly where we want the head to fall for our height. For most of us, the adjustment came down to a difference of just 2–3 inches. The EGO Power+ PowerLoad String Trimmer with Telescoping Aluminum Shaft does something unique.
The benefit is that they install quickly and easily (though with recent advances like Ego’s automatic system, the advantages of the pre-loaded line aren’t as significant as in the past). You also can’t simply invest $15 in what’s basically a lifetime supply of trimmer string. Also, if you’re in a pinch and need some immediately, there may be availability issues. We recommend getting a decent supply of extra spools.
If you do get stranded with an empty battery, the Ego’s charger can deliver a full battery in about 40 minutes. If you’d rather have the assurance of a second battery (though we don’t think it’s necessary), additional ones are available, ranging from about $150 to $400, depending on ampere Ego Powerload String hours. Looking at this, it’s only at $20 difference and normally I would just get the slightly fancier version. But there’s also a combo pack that comes with a leaf blower (for $270 total). However, the combo only comes with the “rapid reload” head, there’s no option to mix & match.

These adjustments make it easier to share the trimmer among members of a household. Most of these trimmers use big batteries, and they can take a while to fill up. Because it’s entirely possible for the battery to empty out during use, we wanted a tool with the shortest possible charge time, minimizing downtime. If you have only minimal trimming needs, we like the Worx WG170.2 GT Revolution 20V PowerShare String Trimmer and Edger.
