American Gardener YardStick 10-Inch 24-Volt Cordless Electric Edger and Trimmer #YS24
The American Gardener YardStick cordless edger and trimmer is a great two-in-one yard tool for the homeowner; this battery-powered trimmer converts to a rolling lawn edger with just a turn of the handle using the Quickedge Transition design. The 24-volt Power-Core double ball-bearing motor with Power-Core deep discharge battery will give you up to 45 minutes of cutting time on just one charge. A 10-inch cutting swath makes quick work of yard trimming, and when you need more line, just bump the head and it feeds out more .08 commercial-grade line automatically. We like the symmetry and nice balance of this trimmer in hand, too; it comes with two comfortable grips and a hassle-free start switch. The unit stores in the included wall-mounted charger, which indicates battery status with red and green lights. --Kris Jensen-Van Heste

American Gardener YardStick 10-Inch 24-Volt Cordless Electric Edger and Trimmer #YS24 Reviews
It was still running strong. It requires NO PULLING OF ANY CORDS to start. I told a friend about it and he said, "You know what I did that has been the best thing ever when it comes to weedeaters. I should have done it a long time ago. I picked the weedeater up over my head and smashed it repeatedly onto the ground, destroying it. A few weeks ago I went to do some trimming and tried to start the weedeater. I instantly had a golf-ball sized lump on the back of my hand and I saw red. and it arrived a little beat up by the UPS guy.
For the price it is a STEAL right now, and it is well worth even the nearly $100 I originally paid. I found it wasn't chewing up the wire as often as my gas powered trimmers tend to use up the line also. In short, this is REALLY worth getting if you have a basic house with grass trimming that needs to be done. But I trust this friend and I decided that I was fed up with gas powered weedeaters - so I gave it a shot. I grew tired pulling the starter cord several dozen times and sat down on my steps to continue trying to start the weedeater. It is just ideal for around the house grass trimming. I bought a battery powered weedeater.".
It just comes on when you press the button. I hated dealing with the spool too. Once it was going, it was difficult to manage and would often "grab" the ground and dig into the grass and was generally frustrating to use. It has exactly the right amount of torque so I can control it easily and it cuts the grass, but does not dig into the grass or pull itself into the turf. The spool works excellent and is easy to use.
Hmm, I don't like electric when internal combustion is an option. I hated it. Best thing I've ever done when it comes to garden tools.
I also tried to run the battery down the first time as this seems to be recommended for maximum battery life, but I gave up after 30+ minutes of continuous use. Now I will say that it does not have the power for serious weeds with wood-like trunks. Enter the American Gardner 24 Volt Cordless Trimmer.
True story, I had a Troy-Bilt four-stroke weedeater from one of the home improvement stores that cost around $200 that was impossible to start. As I pulled back with all my might, I forgot about the cast iron railing on the side of my steps and clobbered my hand. But BOY DOES IT WORK.
But for GRASS TRIMMING this is ideal. I even paid too much (when I came back to write this review the price has dropped $30.).
Sears used to sell it. I absolutely love it. I've been using this trimmer for almost 20 years. Ideal for keeping a city lawn looking neat. It changes from horizontal to vertical (edging) operation with a flip of the wrist. I was delighted to find another vendor when Sears let it go.
I love it. This is the second one of these I have purchased. The battery gave out on the first one after about 5 years. Lightweight, and the charge lasts plenty long for my purposes. It's a great tool.
The only problems we've had are that it is kinda heavy and the connectors from the battery have come loose. It is kind of a pain though if you are in the middle of the yard. This is a nice trimmer. It is highly recommended. The edger function works well and leaves a nice clean edge. This is an easy fix; remove the housing and simply reconnect.
