Greenworks 60V 16 in Cordless String Trimmer, 2.5 Ah Battery

The Greenworks 60V 16-inch cordless string trimmer brings gas-equivalent yard clearing performance to homeowners seeking a cleaner, quieter outdoor tool. Built around a 60V brushless motor that delivers 6000 RPM, this string trimmer provides the output of a 26cc gas trimmer. It is designed to take on challenging property upkeep, tackling stubborn kudzu and thick blackberry vines up to 1 inch thick across wide areas without gas mixing or exhaust fumes.

Cutting efficiency comes from a 16-inch professional swath powered by a dual-line system. This wide cutting width makes quick work of overgrown ditch weeds and small pine saplings, allowing you to clear up to 2 miles of fence line in a single pass. Line management is simplified using a spin-to-load head design built for .095-inch line. By twisting the housing and pulling, line reloading takes just 10 seconds, avoiding the hassle of manual winding and saving up to 15 minutes compared to traditional bump feed heads.

For power and runtime, the trimmer includes a 2.5Ah battery that fully recharges in 45 minutes. A full charge provides up to 1.5 acres of trimming coverage, outlasting standard cordless trimmers by 20 minutes based on testing in 10-inch tall Bahia grass. The 60V battery is part of an interchangeable ecosystem that powers more than 75 Greenworks lawn tools, including mowers, chainsaws, and blowers.

Ergonomics and noise control are integrated into the physical design. Weighing 11.2 pounds with the battery installed, the unit features a 360-degree rotating handle engineered to reduce wrist strain by 40 percent and assist with detailed work around flower beds. At a sound output of 68dB, it operates quietly enough for dawn trimming without causing neighborhood complaints, and its CARB-certified zero-emission operation ensures white picket fences stay clean of exhaust residue.

In terms of trade-offs, total tool weight reaches 11.2 pounds when the battery is mounted, which may feel heavy during continuous long-distance clearing. The spin-to-load design requires specific .095-inch line, and maximum runtime numbers depend on vegetation density and grass height. Verdict: The Greenworks 60V trimmer is an excellent fit for property owners needing heavy-duty clearing power for large yards and fence lines. Its fast line loading, quiet 68dB operation, and long battery life offer gas-level results with low-maintenance convenience.
