Muskoka 20V Brushless 13 in. Cordless String Trimmer

A quiet 20V brushless string trimmer with a 13 in (33 cm) swath, push-button line feed and a pivoting head that doubles as a wheeled edger. Comes with a 4.0Ah battery rated for up to 45 minutes and a fast charger.

Summers go by fast, and nobody wants to spend them yanking a pull cord or topping up a fuel can. The Muskoka 20V Cordless String Trimmer handles the spots your mower can't reach: the fence line, the deck posts, the mailbox and the path down to the dock. It runs on the included 20V 4.0Ah lithium-ion battery, so there is no fuel to mix, no cord snaking across the yard and far less racket than a gas machine. Named for Ontario's Muskoka lake country, it's made for the small jobs that make a place look cared for.

Inside is a 20V brushless motor that turns the head as fast as 6,300 RPM when set to high. Without brushes rubbing inside, it stays cooler, loses less energy to friction and is built to outlast a brushed motor. Two speeds put you in charge: high for thick weeds and grass that got away from you during a rainy June, low for stretching the charge and working carefully beside flower beds. The 13 in (33 cm) head carries two strands of tough 0.080 in (2.0 mm) line, and a push-button feed pays out more whenever the strands wear short.

When the lawn starts creeping over the driveway, pivot the trimmer head and the Muskoka becomes a wheeled edger. One tool doing two jobs means less to buy and less to hang in the shed or boathouse. The straight shaft telescopes to suit taller and shorter users alike, and the auxiliary handle adjusts so you can settle on a grip angle that feels natural. At 7.8 lb (3.5 kg) before the battery goes on, it's easy to carry through a long spring cleanup without your shoulders complaining.

A full charge is good for as long as 45 minutes of trimming. On an average home lot, a single battery usually sees the whole job through. When the pack runs down, the fast charger in the box has it full again in roughly an hour, so a lunch break is all the downtime you need. Every Muskoka trimmer is backed by our 3-year limited warranty and ships free anywhere in the US. Whether you're tidying a city lot, a lakefront cabin or the yard around a farmhouse, it keeps the edges sharp all season.
