Toro 51486 Cordless Weed Eater
With the press of a button, the Toro 51486 converts from a trimmer to an edger, providing the versatility you need for all your lawn care needs. This weed eater runs on a 24-volt lithium battery, which has an advantage over NiCad batteries in that it doesn’t eventually lose its power. It takes between 2 to 3 hours to charge, and each charge provides about an hour of use, so large yards may take longer to complete. However, for an electric trimmer, this Toro model provides great power and control, has a wide cutting width, and runs smoothly and quietly.
