What You Need To Know Before Buying A Battery Powered String Trimmer | Toro Flex Force 60V 16"

Need help finding the perfect battery-powered string trimmer (weed whacker)? While going over the new Toro Flex-Force 16" 60-volt string trimmer we discuss the different ways some work and what features to look for! Battery-powered cordless trimmers are slightly different than their gas-powered counterparts. The string head can turn in a different direction. Clockwise vs counter-clockwise head direction on string trimmers is a big deal to some.

Battery size, including voltage and amp-hour, is important to runtime. You cannot think that just because one tool has a higher voltage battery that it is more powerful. Milwaukee Tool is working to prove everyone who feels that way wrong with the M18 Quik Lok power head system! By multiplying the volts times the amp-hours, you get a number called watt-hours and that is the total energy that can be supplied by the battery. Ideally one would want a higher voltage higher amp-hour battery, but these are some happy mediums between power and weight.

How you assemble your string trimmer will affect the comfort and usability for different people in your family. Handle placement will be different for tall and short people.
