Product Description
This battery-powered trimmer converts to a rolling lawn edger with just a turn of the handle. The 24-volt Power Core 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. The unit stores in its wall-mounted charger, which indicates battery status with red and green lights. A great two-in-one yard tool for the homeowner.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste

Comment:
I was going to get the Worx GT, but read reviews and most said it was not powerful and the battery had a short life. A lot of the articles said the Yardstick 24 was a better choice and I didn't see nearly as many negative reviews. I bought it and have used it 3 times. I cuts through any grass very easily and some smaller other growth. Fro the money, I couldn't be happier. The charger makes storage easy. Two things I would change. The string is .08 which is a little thin, but I guess helps the battery last so long. I have replaced the string that came with it with a square string to help with cutting. Also, the Worx GT has a guide wheel on it for edging. The Yardstick would benefit from that. Some of the bad reviews I read said the guard falls off easily. Not a problem with me. Either they didn't attach it correctly or there has been a design change. Highly recommend!

WOW WHAT A TRIMMER
|
Comment:
I was skeptical about purchasing this product, but after using it, I can say..." WOW what a trimmer". The reviews from other users was also a big plus. Our yard is 15000 square feet, surrounded by a wire fence, trees, shrubs, sidewalks, all these require trimming, even though the instructions warned me not to trim too close to the wire, I wanted to try it anyhow, it worked great, but I would not make a habit of this. It is so easy to use and lightweight, just a flick of the trimmer and you have an edger, and it really makes a nice groove between the sidewalk and the grass. It is also easy to maneuver in tight or small places, one speed and not loud like some gas trimmers. So easy to start, no pull cord, I have bursitis in my shoulder and I no longer have to deal with the pain associated with pulling a cord. It takes about 16 hours to charge and its ready the next time I have to use it, I would recommend this to anyone.

Comment:
After struggling with yet another 2-cycle gas trimmer that was difficult to start and keep running despite new spark plug, new gas, a complete carb overhaul, etc. I decided to go electric. I was worried mainly about getting something with sufficient power and run-time to handle my 1-acre yard.
The American Gardener Yardstick did not disappoint. The unit is very well built, has a smartly designed charger/storage hanger, plenty of power and run-time. This trimmer is every bit as effective as any gas trimmer I have owned without the noise and the complications of a gas engine. Its not light by any stretch but its no heavier than a gas unit.
Overall, excellent buy.

Comment:
I have had my problems with battery operated tools - circular saw = a disaster. Lawn mower = disaster #2. Honestly, this was the only alternative for me because gas/oil was out of the question, they are just too much trouble to maintain for me and electric trimmers are a huge pain with the cord always pulling out of the outlet, etc. I didn't have high hopes for this item but it's really great. It's a little heavy but it's balanced well. The only trouble I've been having is the guard keeps falling off however I am using it far beyond it's intended level of weeds and frankly being quite rough with it. By the time I got it I was dealing with massive overgrowth and it handled the job really well. Super saver shipping was fantastic. Got it in 3 days for free. I was expecting it to take weeks for delivery. Right on!
