We’re all on a mission to find the right balance between work and play at the cottage, and that means minimizing the weekend work as much as possible. Fortunately, a battery-powered string trimmer can make your outdoor cleanup chores a lot more manageable when you’re at the lake. Just be sure to choose a trimmer that has features fit for unwieldy cottage properties, such as a wide cutting path, a lightweight, ergonomic design, a brushless motor for quiet operation, and of course, a long-lasting lithium-ion battery for ultimate versatility. With a battery-powered string trimmer from Greenworks, there’s a ton you can get done in a short time. Here’s what’s possible.
Features that fit your property
We’re adamant about avoiding landscaping around shorelines to keep those ecosystems healthy, but if your cottage has a lawn, it’s likely a little more unruly than the square patches of perfect grass we see in suburbs. Rocks, trees, and uneven terrain bring unique challenges, but a battery-powered string trimmer cuts them down to size. And since you won’t have to worry about a cord, you can roam and trim wherever your property requires without running out of length—or accidentally trimming your extension cord. Just be sure to use the guard when trimming around trees so you don’t damage their bark.
Versatility for various tasks
While trimming the lawn might be its primary use, a battery-powered string trimmer is surprisingly versatile. It’s useful for maintaining a small yard, clearing dense overgrowth as well as tidying the edges of driveway, walking paths and even flower beds. The 80V 16″ String Trimmer from Greenworks is compatible with numerous gas attachments, from edgers and brush cutters to pole saws and blowers, making it one of the most versatile tools in your cottage shed.
Eco-friendly and quiet operation
We’ve all woken up to the “mosquito on steroids” ruckus of gas-powered string trimmers, and we wouldn’t dare do that to our cottage neighbors. We’re also just as eager to avoid spewing additional fumes into the atmosphere with another gas-powered cottage tool. Thankfully, Greenworks’ 80V 16″ String Trimmer features a durable brushless motor for quiet operation, and its 80V battery gives you more than enough torque for any cottage task without guzzling gas.
Lightweight and user-friendly
Battery-powered string trimmers are generally lighter and easier to handle compared to their gas-powered counterparts. They’re also way more convenient than playing cat’s cradle with an extension cord wrapping around the trees and rock formations of your property. With their light weight, ergonomic handles, and top-mounted motor designs for balance during use, battery-powered string trimmers from Greenworks make awkward tasks easy. It all adds up to less strain on your arms and back, letting you accomplish more with less stress and fatigue. The Greenworks 80V 16” String Trimmer boasts a convenient Load ’n’ Go trimmer head, making reloading new line quick and effortless. This innovative feature saves you time and eliminates the hassle of rewinding spools.
One battery, many tools
One of the greatest advantages of investing in a battery-powered string trimmer is the ability to use the same battery across multiple tools. And for cottage owners who have property to maintain back in the city, it’s a huge benefit to be able to use the same battery both at home and at the lake. The Greenworks battery platform spans a wide range of tools, from trimmers and mowers to chainsaws and blowers, so you’ll always be empowered to accomplish any task the weekend brings your way.
