In the case of this system since the motor is on the end of the trimmer head – that sort of negates the attachment idea. Otherwise you would put motors in each attachment. It seems this Swiss made spray blower will work with Metabo 18V batteries, this brand just joined CAS with Metabo. They have other battery operated tools also. The testing conditions were very aggressive and very demanding. It’d be better if I could rent a brush cutter or mower, but the EGO 15″ trimmer worked well and even better than I had expected.
With gas trimmers, the engine runs constantly whether the trimmer is trimming or not. In September of 2018, we had the pleasure of talking with Kyle Selph, a product manager from EGO . This took place at our ProToolReviews home office.
Anyway I can edge the whole property and trim all I need to (around the house – front landscaping – etc) all on one battery charge. Yes I admit if you had more you might want to invest in another battery and they aren’t cheap. I think battery powered stuff is great for people that don’t know how or want to properly maintain gas powered equipment. I think you pay more for that convenience.
So from where we stand, EGO took an already great product and made it better while remaining the best value in the cordless string trimmer game. Along with my now shelved Stihl gas trimmer, I have an older corded electric trimmer that I’ve almost never used for one main reason—and it’s not the cord. The corded trimmer was either full power or off. There is no variable speed trigger like gas models have. Chalk up another win for EGO, because the POWERLOAD String Trimmer has a variable speed control that works just like a gas trimmer.

Mentally, I still call trimmers weed wackers, but I think that’s a brand name so “trimmer” it is. The EGO string trimmer is the latest in a line of trimmers EGO has produced. This one comes with a carbon fiber split shaft and what EGO calls POWERLOAD string loading.

This includes a 5-year tool warranty and a 3-year battery warranty. The POWERLOAD String Trimmer is much, much quieter than my gas trimmer and it also doesn’t vibrate my arms into numbness like the gas model does. It’s great that technology today allows a battery trimmer that matches the power of a gas model. After using the EGO for many days, I can’t imagine going back to my gas trimmer. Whereas the other EGO straight shaft trimmer has the motor at the battery and a drive shaft.
