Tools and Hardware Reviews of American Gardener YS24 YardStick 10-Inch 24-Volt Cordless String TrimmerCustomer Review: Best Garden Tool I've Ever Purchased - REALLY! Summary: 5 Stars
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.
I hated it. 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. I hated dealing with the spool too.
A few weeks ago I went to do some trimming and tried to start the weedeater. I grew tired pulling the starter cord several dozen times and sat down on my steps to continue trying to start the weedeater.
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. I instantly had a golf-ball sized lump on the back of my hand and I saw red. I picked the weedeater up over my head and smashed it repeatedly onto the ground, destroying it.
I should have done it a long time ago.
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 bought a battery powered weedeater."
Hmm, I don't like electric when internal combustion is an option. But I trust this friend and I decided that I was fed up with gas powered weedeaters - so I gave it a shot.
Enter the American Gardner 24 Volt Cordless Trimmer.
Best thing I've ever done when it comes to garden tools.
I even paid too much (when I came back to write this review the price has dropped $30!!!) and it arrived a little beat up by the UPS guy.
But BOY DOES IT WORK.
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. It requires NO PULLING OF ANY CORDS to start. It just comes on when you press the button.
The spool works excellent and is easy to use. I found it wasn't chewing up the wire as often as my gas powered trimmers tend to use up the line also.
It is just ideal for around the house grass trimming.
Now I will say that it does not have the power for serious weeds with wood-like trunks. But for GRASS TRIMMING this is ideal.
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. It was still running strong.
In short, this is REALLY worth getting if you have a basic house with grass trimming that needs to be done. For the price it is a STEAL right now, and it is well worth even the nearly $100 I originally paid.
