Efficient, Environmentally Friendly Battery Power
The Worx Cordless Trimmer/Edger is powered by an efficient, lightweight, rechargeable 18-volt Lithium Ion battery pack, which delivers plenty of power without the added cost of gas, the hassle of extension cords, or the pollution associated with gas-powered alternatives. The WORX lithium battery packs are exceptionally lightweight and provide 3 times the useable life of standard Ni-Cd batteries. The battery pack will even work with your other WORX Lithium Power Share tools; just swap it out when you're ready to move on to the next job. When you're not using the WorxGT, it stows out of the way with the included wall mount. The battery charges in approximately 1/2 hour!

Ergonomic Design for Maximum Comfort
The Worx Cordless Trimmer/Edger features several adjustable parts, making it as comfortable as possible to use and allowing you to garden with greater ease. It's built with ErgoSum Design Technology, so you can operate the WorxGT using a natural grip. The trimmer's front handle has multiple adjustable positions, and the rear grip is angled for maximum comfort. The shaft of the trimmer extends or retracts with a simple twist to match the height of every user and adapt to every application.

The handle also pivots easily to go from trimming to edging in a matter of seconds. The head of the trimmer also pivots 90 degrees to make light work of sloped surfaces and gives you access to grass under low-lying branches. A fold-away guard and twin wheel set add protection and accuracy to give your yard a professionally manicured look. At just 5.3 pounds, it's light enough for almost anyone to use. An automatic line feed keeps the trimmer from binding up and interrupting your work, and the 10-inch cutting radius covers plenty of ground.

The Worx GT 2-in-1 Cordless Lawn Trimmer/Edger is backed by a full two-year warranty.

Customer Review: Battery problems
The trimmer worked great - the first two weeks. Then, the charger started blinking red, which means the battery isn't accepting the charge. It was bought through an Amazon second party seller. They said the couldn't replace only the batter and to contact WORX. WORX said to go throught the seller because it was less than 90 days old. The seller has now agreed to ship a new trimmer, and I'm awaiting its arrival. I then will ship the old one back. This is all a hassle, but in the end the company was responsive. I read of other people having battery problems, but went ahead with the purchase. The trimmer design is good, but the battery may be the weak link.
Customer Review: Not worth it.
I bought this with the extra battery so that I could have a battery always ready. I need about one and one/half hours to trim everything. Even with the extra battery, I cannot do that. In addition, it doesn't cut powerfully enough to do the work. As a woman, the light weight appealed to me as well as the clean battery, but I will go to a gas trimmer next.
