About this item
Description
The Worx Nitro 20V 13” Cordless String Trimmer delivers pro-grade performance to support a variety of grass trimming tasks—such as cleaning up sidewalk, driveway, and retaining wall areas. And with the ability to switch between trimmer, edger, and mini-mower modes, you can get more done in the yard with a single tool. The high-efficiency brushless motor runs 50% longer, is 25% more powerful, and delivers a 10X longer life than trimmers with a standard brush motor. With this added power, the 13” dual-exit cutting head makes trimming effortless—even in dense, overgrown areas. Extend trimming line with ease and efficiency using the intuitive push-button command feed system. While this cordless string trimmer remains comfortably lightweight, it is packed with flexible features that enhance control and reduce user fatigue. For example, the telescoping rotating shaft adjusts to fit the height and positioning of the user, while the adjustable auxiliary handle makes for more flexible operability. When you’re working on hills or around hard-to-reach areas, the 90° pivoting head adapts to maintain precision cuts. The trimmer also comes equipped with durable edging wheels that maximize maneuverability and enable clear, crisp lines along grassy edges.

I have several Worx products. I’m 68 and a widow. I’m thankful my husband bought Worx because it makes taking care of my yard so much easier. My old Worx weed eater has to be at least 15 yrs old. Still works but the wheels fell off & so I bought a new Nitro weed eater. It’s powerful with the dual string. And edging the sidewalks & driveway makes a perfect edge.

This was my fourth worx weed eater/edger that I have purchased in the last 10 years. Always had good luck with them which is obviously why I keep purchasing them but this product is a mess. This product comes with a double line feed which is the problem, the feeder line gets tangled up every time you use the line feed. I would have to stop, untangle, rewrap. No one should have to do that and waste their time, I am returning the product and buying one with a single feed

Recently, I purchased WG173, String Trimmer. I've had far too much trouble with the product from the initial issue. The most troublesome task was trying to work with the "Automatic line feed system. Most of the time it will not respond. When the string disappears, one has to remove the cap on the trimmer spool. Trying to negotiate the strings in the proper order so they don't overlap is a real nightmare. I've spent hours trying to make the system work - - to no avail. I am a mechanical engineer and in all my day, I've never seen a product so miss engineered. Start redesigning your product with just one trimmer spool system. Expect a product return!

The way all trimmers should be with dual strand. Great features to use, adjust and move around. The trim was easily replaced with thicker strand for better bite. The large capacity battery keeps it going without a hiccup.

I've used this trimmer a few times and so far it's working perfectly for me. Lots of nice features and very adjustable. The wheel for edging is genius! I had bought another name brand powerful electric with a hinge in the middle and ended up returning it. This one is half the price and works twice as good. I liked it so much I bought a second one for my son.

It runs fine but is too heavy. The first one we bought lasted around 5 years and the engine just quit. But it was lighter than the new one and we got free line with it. No free line with the new one.

I purchased this as a step up from the original WORX. This one has a brushless motor and two trim lines, so I find it a bit more effective, but I still use my original WORX, too, and its still going after about 4 years with no issues!

He liked the speed of edging, but was a little heavier than his last Works weedeater. He thinks he’s going to like it as he gets used to the extra weight. Would recommend it to anyone that needs a new weedeater.👌👍

This equipment is wonderful, light weight, but completes the heavy work. This is our second weed eater, and works great as my husband is in a wheelchair, and these tools make things easy for him to still feel like he can do some things . With the batteries -we don't have to worry about gasoline spilling on him either,
Worx Nitro-The Smooth Operator

GOOD: Much more powerful than the GT it replaced. Two lines work better than one. Brushless motor is smoother running. Ability to handle high grass and weeds. SO SO: Heavier (the 4AH battery helps balance things out). Cannot hear the line advance like you can with the GT. No pull out brush guard. Overall it’s a fine machine that can handle the tougher stuff without complaints and am happy with the decision to purchase it.

The Nitro brushless trimmer doesn't cut as sharpe as I like it to. It seems awkward to me. Other than that it may work for other people.

It's a great product that has made my job a lot easier to do because I can trim places my lawnmower can't get to. I can switch it up to be an edger and do along the sidewalks with the wheels on and I get nice straight lines. People ask me who does my yardwork because it looks like a professional did it and I tell them that I did it with WORK tool's.
