EGO ST1501-S
We were pleasantly surprised by many of the EGO Power+ 56V string trimmer’s features, which include a fast-charging battery that provides up to an hour of powerful, efficient trimming. As soon as we held it, we were pleased with the lightweight, well-balanced design of this model, as we could tell that it would take a lot of the hassle out of yardwork. Indeed, the 0.095″ line can handle a lot of tough jobs, and we saw no problems with the bump feed head as the trimmer ran at maximum speed. Another convenient feature is the variable speed, because it allows you to work most efficiently, for instance, switching from a low setting for trimming grass to a high setting for the tough weeds. A possible downside to the incredible power, however, is that debris flies in all directions, making it essential for users to wear long sleeves and pants, closed-toe shoes, and protective goggles.
