I say temporary, because you have a 90-day return period , that you’re just going to return for a refund after getting your original tool back. I wished at one point the handle had tool-free adjustments, but a minute with a hex key before the next session is all that will be needed to dial it in for my preferences. Tool-free adjustments sometimes loosen up over time and can be a hassle to retighten, and so long-term the 4-screw shaft clamp will work just fine. The testing conditions were very aggressive and very demanding.
It can even be used in inclement weather thanks to its weather-resistant construction. Every EGO string trimmer comes with a variable speed trigger with safety lock to give users even more control of the tool’s performance. Quiet operation is one of the main reasons to choose a battery-powered tool over their gas counterparts, and the Ego Power+ 15-Inch Powerload doesn’t disappoint in this respect. We measured 87 decibels when holding it at arm’s length, and when spinning, this string trimmer produces a pleasant, even sounding hum. This string trimmer is most in its element when tackling thick weeds and grasses. It’s one of the most powerful battery-powered trimmers in our tests and rips through the neglected, brushy corners of the yard.
You need to feather the trigger to vary your speed. The lowest speed is 4000 RPM and we like to make quicker work of things at its 5800 RPM wide open throttle. At that speed, there’s enough power to tackle just about anything with a grassy stalk, including thick areas your mower misses.

And in tight spots, like between rose bushes, the Ryobi didn’t feel as nimble as the Ego. The Ego is a dual-line unit, meaning that two strings extend from the cutting head. And Ego Powerload String it comes equipped with a 0.095-inch trimmer line, which is on the thicker side and contributes to the trimmer’s cutting ability (a wide variety of 0.095 string is available).

The benefit is that they install quickly and easily (though with recent advances like Ego’s automatic system, the advantages of the pre-loaded line aren’t as significant as in the past). You also can’t simply invest $15 in what’s basically a lifetime supply of trimmer string. Also, if you’re in a pinch and need some immediately, there may be availability issues. We recommend getting a decent supply of extra spools.
