Best String Trimmers of 2022

1 Greenworks 21302 Review

Are you looking for a powerful weed wacker with the flexibility to move around unobstructed by a cord? The Greenworks 21302 is our best in class pick. This lightweight electric weed eater has a decent 40V battery giving about 30 minutes of run time. And the 13-inch cut path makes this a good size for medium-sized gardens.

The best feature of the Greenworks 21302 battery powered string trimmer is the 90-degree pivoting head with an edging wheel. This 2-in-1 string trimmer allows you to get two jobs done at once. The downside is the trim feed can be a little difficult to thread.

Overall, if you want a powerful, cordless weed eater for standard lawns, the Greenworks 21302 is your best option.

1 Greenworks 21142 Review

Do you want a powerful string trimmer with unlimited run time? The Greenworks 21142 has an impressive 10-amp motor and substantial 18-inch cutting path. This is sufficient for large lawns and will quite easily cut through most thick weeds.

Weighing 13lbs, this is a lightweight electric grass trimmer. However, if you have large areas to cover, a harness may be necessary to prevent fatigue. You can also convert the Greenworks 21142 string trimmer into a saw, cultivator, or leaf blower by purchasing the additional accessories which is a bonus.

With a powerful motor and quality construction, the Greenworks 21142 is the best corded weed eater for most gardeners.

1 Husqvarna 324L Review

The 25cc 4-cycle motor and wide 18-inch cutting path mean this gas string trimmer will cut through the thickest thatch and overgrowth with ease. You will burn through string quickly, but the tap-and-go feature allows you to release new string mid-project without stopping. This is great if you have a large area to cover.

It is extremely loud, but that is expected for a heavy-duty gas weed eater. And although it does have a mudguard, it can fling debris quite far with the power it puts out, so safety goggles are recommended.

Even so, the Husqvarna 324L is easily one of the best gas weed trimmers on the market and will make quick work of thick weeds.

1 EARTHQUAKE 28463 Review

Do you want a powerful yet quiet tool for trimming down tough weeds and brush? A walk-behind weed eater is a less strenuous alternative to a regular gas-powered string trimmer. And when it comes to the best string trimmer mower, the Earthquake 28463 is a popular choice.

The 150cc 4-cycle viper engine is powerful enough to cut through almost anything. And the 14-inch chunky wheels mean it can easily roll over long grass, thick thatch, or rough terrain without getting stuck.

Overall, if you have a large, overgrown garden with even the toughest weeds, the Earthquake 28463 commercial weed wacker is the tool for the job.

1 EARTHQUAKE 37676 M605 Review

The EARTHQUAKE-37676-Behind-String-Stratton is a walk-behind string mower powered by a quiet yet strong 163cc Briggs and Stratton engine. This string mower cuts up stubborn brush and unsightly weeds easily. The big 14-inch wheels let you easily navigate through weeds, thick grass, nettles, brush, and other foliage that is otherwise too challenging for push mowers to conquer.

It is ideal for all-terrain and a perfect tool to make quick work of your brush clearing and trimming tasks. Unlike hand-held trimmers or a push mower, this Earthquake String Mower is tailor-made to assist in navigating areas that are unnavigable using other mowers while doing away with the associated back strain from hauling heavy tools all around your yard.

Tough-designed features such as a robust nylon line and a single-piece steel deck guarantee continuous output while making the activity of cutting through dense foliage and weeds easy, satisfying, and quick. Additionally, the equipment is convenient and uses large-diameter wheels to ensure you continue coasting through thick weeds and grass and over irregular terrain.

1 Black + Decker MTC220 Review

Do you want one tool that will take care of mowing, weed trimming and grass edging? A 3-in-1 grass trimmer is a great solution for anyone who doesn’t have the storage space for multiple tools. And if you want the best 3-in-1 string trimmer on the market, we recommend the Black + Decker MTC220.

The Black + Decker MTC220 is cordless, giving more flexibility. And if you already have Black + Decker batteries for your drills, angle grinders, or other tools, they will be compatible.

Although the compact mower isn’t powerful enough for large, overgrown lawns, it does give an efficient option for tidying up or mowing small yards up to 1,200 square feet.

Though this isn’t a powerful enough option for extremely overgrown yards or professional landscapers, it’s a lightweight, compact option for infrequent gardeners.

1 Husqvarna 336FR Review

Do you need a weed eater that can handle the thickest weeds, shrubs, and small trees? The Husqvarna 336FR brush cutter is a heavy-duty tool for the job. Unlike a string trimmer, a brush cutter is fitted with steel blades that easily cut through branches, shrubs and most overgrowth with ease.

The Husqvarna 336FR has a powerful 34.6cc engine and is fitted with a handlebar for added control. It comes with both a brush and saw blade for use on lawns and tree branches or thick thatch. It is a heavy tool, but comes with a harness which shifts most of the weight to your back for better comfort.

Though the Husqvarna 336FR is overkill for most gardens, this brush cutter is an effective tool for professional landscapers.
