Best Black Decker 2 In 1 String Trimmer Edger
As an Amazon Associate, this site earns from qualifying purchases. Every power rating, cutting width, battery detail, included part and feature in this guide comes from the Amazon product listing and seller copy for each tool, and none of it has been checked independently. Where two fields in a listing disagree, the figure is marked Not confirmed and kept out of the comparison.
The data behind this guide covers 15 listings: three from Black+Decker, none of them a 2-in-1 string trimmer and edger, and 12 from WORX, RAXONE, Windpost, Heywork, Ohey, Liupoket, MtiolHig, Glenvera, PFYELYI, Gisam, Lacoco and others. All 15 are compared on the same terms.
A string trimmer edger does two jobs: trimming grass along fences and cutting a clean line along a lawn edge. The points that matter are power source, battery platform, cutting width, weight and whether a battery and charger come in the box.
Quick answer by situation
If you need the short version, start here.
- Corded, no batteries to manage: The BLACK+DECKER LE760FF is a 12 amp corded edger and trencher. It needs an outlet and is listed as an edger, not a string trimmer.
- Already own a WORX PowerShare battery: The WORX WG163 includes two batteries and a charger, and the WORX WG170.9 is a tool-only unit that uses the same battery family.
- Already own a Dewalt 20V or Makita 18V battery: The Lacoco is compatible with Dewalt 20V batteries, and the MtiolHig is compatible with Makita 18V batteries. Both are sold tool only.
- Edging and sidewalks only: The BLACK+DECKER BCED400C1 is a cordless edger with a 7.5 inch blade and four height settings. It is listed as an edger, not a trimmer.
- Mowing as well as trimming: The BLACK+DECKER MTC220, the WORX WG170.9 and the Gisam combo all include a mower function alongside the trimmer.
- Brush and tall weeds: The Windpost, Ohey and PFYELYI listings all describe brush cutter blades. The Windpost and PFYELYI battery figures need confirming before you buy.
Comparison table
The table shows only what each listing states. A cell marked Not confirmed means two fields disagree. A cell marked Not stated in the listing means the field is empty or the listing does not give the figure.

How to choose: power source and battery platform
The first decision is corded or cordless. The BLACK+DECKER LE760FF is the only corded tool here. It has a 12 amp motor and suits a user with a nearby outlet who does not want to charge batteries. The cord limits how far you can reach, so think about the length of your fence line before you buy.
Every other tool is battery powered. That brings the battery platform into the decision, and it matters more than most buyers expect. A battery from a tool you already own can save you a full purchase. The WORX WG163 and WG170.9 both work with the WORX PowerShare family, which the listing says covers more than 75 tools across 20V, 40V and 80V. The MtiolHig is compatible with Makita 18V batteries, and the Lacoco is compatible with Dewalt 20V batteries. Both are sold without a battery, so you need the battery you already own.
Check whether a battery and charger come in the box. That changes the real price of the tool, and the listings differ. The WORX WG163 includes two batteries and a charger. The RAXONE, Heywork and Glenvera listings each include two batteries and a charger. The BLACK+DECKER MTC220 includes two batteries, but its included components field does not list a charger, even though the title mentions one. The WORX WG170.9, the MtiolHig and the Lacoco do not include a battery, and the WG170.9 and MtiolHig both say the charger is not included.
How to choose: cutting width and the job
Cutting width is the diameter of the cut the head makes. Most listings here give 12 inches, the most common width in this set. The Lacoco is 14 inches, the Liupoket is 8 inches, and the Windpost and PFYELYI are narrower. A wider head covers more ground per pass, but it is heavier to swing for a long time, so match the width to your yard. A small yard with many corners does well with a narrower head. A larger lawn with long edges favors a wider one.
Some listings show more than one width. The Ohey listing explains that its maximum width depends on the attachment, with 11 to 12 inches for the edging wheel and longest line, 7 to 8 inches for the steel blade, and 6 to 7 inches for the brush cutter blade. The Glenvera and MtiolHig listings also show two different widths. Those are Not confirmed in the comparison table, so confirm the figure you plan to use.
Edging and trimming are different jobs. An edger cuts a clean line along a sidewalk or a bed, while a trimmer cuts grass and weeds around posts and fences. Many listings here switch between the two by rotating the head 90 degrees. The WORX WG163 and RAXONE both describe that switch, and the Glenvera describes a button-based switch. The BCED400C1 is listed as an edger only, so it is a poor choice if you want one tool for both jobs.
How to choose: weight, height and reach
Weight matters more than most buyers think, because the tool will be held out at arm’s length for long periods. The listed weights run from 3.28 lb for the Liupoket to 14.1 lb for the corded BLACK+DECKER LE760FF. Several listings give a weight in the description that disagrees with the field, as the PFYELYI, MtiolHig and Windpost listings do, so use the weight range as a guide and check the figure on the listing page.
Height adjustment helps you reach under decks and along fences without bending. The MtiolHig describes a telescopic shaft from 50 to 60 inches and a 75 degree tilting head. The Ohey describes a shaft adjustable from 43 to 55 inches and a 90 degree rotating head. The Liupoket describes a telescopic shaft of about 47 inches and a multi-angle handle from 0 to 180 degrees. The Windpost has a 98 to 155 centimeter telescopic rod. A tall or short user should look for an adjustable shaft rather than a fixed length.
Wheels and a guard are the last checks. The WORX WG163 includes an edger wheel and a safety guard, and the BCED400C1 has an integrated edge guide. The WORX WG170.9 includes support wheels and a flower guard. The MtiolHig has an adjustable guard that protects flowers and lawn decor. Those details matter for a tool used close to plants.
Reading conflicting listings
Several listings disagree with themselves. These are the figures to check before you rely on them.
- Windpost: The width is 5.9 inches in the item dimensions bullet but 9.8 inches in the size field. The weight is 3.5 lb in the field but 2.5 kg in the description, which is a different figure. The battery is 2 AAA in one bullet and two 21V, 4000 mAh cells in another. All three are Not confirmed.
- Heywork: The battery is 2 AAA in one bullet, and two 20V 4.0 Ah lithium-ion batteries in another. The description also gives a battery average life of 40 years, which is not a usable figure, so treat that line as an error.
- PFYELYI: The batteries are 2 x 12V in the bullet and two 21V lithium-ion batteries in the description. The weight is 4.2 lb in the field and 6.3 lb in the description.
- MtiolHig: The speed is 4800 rpm in one bullet but 8500 rpm in the title and description. The width is 12 inches in the field and 11 inches in the description. The weight is 6 lb in the field and 5.5 lb in the description.
- Glenvera: The cutting width is 12 inches in the field and a 16 inch cutting swath in the description.
- Liupoket: The title says 3-in-1, while the style field says 4 in 1.
- BLACK+DECKER MTC220: The style field reads 3-in-1 Mower Only, but the title and description describe a three-function combo. The title mentions a charger, but the included components field does not list one.
- BLACK+DECKER BCED400C1: The title says a battery and charger are included, but the included components field lists only the edger.
Product-by-product breakdown
Each entry below is built from the listed fields and description. Where data is incomplete or inconsistent, the entry says so.
WORX WG163 20V 12 in 2-in-1 Cordless String Trimmer and Edger
This is a battery-powered trimmer and edger with a 12 inch cutting width and a listed speed of 7600 rpm. It weighs 5.5 lb and measures 44.6 by 35 inches in the item dimensions. The head tilts 90 degrees, so you can trim sloped ground and reach tight spots. The push-button command feed adds line on demand, and the listing says the spools are free for life, which is a seller claim.
The kit includes two 20V lithium batteries, a charger, a safety guard, a flower guard, an edger wheel, a spool and spool caps. The rubberized wheels guide the edger for straighter lines. The batteries work across the WORX Power Share family, so the same pair can run other WORX tools. The warranty is not stated in the listing.
This is a good fit if you already own WORX batteries or want a ready-to-use kit that includes everything for trimming and edging.
BLACK+DECKER LE760FF Lawn Edger and Trencher, 12 Amp
This is a corded edger and trencher with a 7.5 inch blade and a 12 amp motor. It weighs 14.1 lb, and the item dimensions are 23 by 10 inches. The listing is an edger, not a string trimmer, so it does not trim grass the way a line head does. It has three blade depth settings, a pull-up edge guide and a no-tool setup, and the blade guard is accessible for cleaning.
The listing also describes trenching for cable, wire, irrigation lines and fencing. That is a different job from edging, and it suits someone who needs to dig a shallow trench as well as cut a clean edge. The included components field names the LE760FF with an LE750 unit, an EH1000 blade and an EB-007 part. The warranty is a 2 year limited warranty and a 30 day money back guarantee.
The corded design means you need an outlet nearby. Check the cord length against the edge you plan to cut before you buy. At 14.1 lb, this suits a user who wants a dedicated edger for long straight lines rather than a general trimmer.
BLACK+DECKER MTC220 3-in-1 Trimmer, Edger and Mower Combo
This is a battery-powered combo with a 12 inch cutting width. The head is a string trimmer, the edger attaches as an edger, and a detachable wheeled mower deck turns the unit into a small push mower. It weighs 9.9 lb and measures 40.5 by 15.25 inches. The kit includes two 20V MAX lithium batteries, an AF-100 spool, an auxiliary handle, a guard, the LST220 trimmer, the MTD100 mower deck and the trimmer and edger attachment.
The automatic feed spool keeps the line at a working length, and the listing says the drive system prevents bogging in dense grass. The deck height adjusts, and the handle pivots. The warranty is 2 years limited.
Two details need checking. The style field reads 3-in-1 Mower Only, which does not match the combo. The title mentions a charger, but the included components field does not list one, so confirm whether a charger is in the box. This is a good choice for a user who wants one tool for trimming, edging and light mowing.
WORX WG170.9 20V 12 in 3-in-1 Trimmer, Edger and Mini Mower
This is a 3-in-1 unit that becomes a trimmer, an edger or a mini mower with a wheeled attachment. The cutting width is 12 inches and the listed speed is 7600 rpm. It weighs 4.6 lb, and the item dimensions are 45.1 by 37.4 inches. The head offers seven handle adjustments and six rotating head settings, which gives room to find a comfortable position.
The kit includes one trimmer or edger unit, three 10 foot trimmer spools, a spool holder, support wheels, a safety guard and a flower guard. The battery and charger are sold separately, according to the components field. The listing says one battery runs more than 75 tools across the Power Share family, which is a seller claim about the platform.
This suits an owner who already has a WORX battery and wants a lighter unit with a mower option. Because the battery is not included, the purchase only makes sense if you have a compatible battery already.
BLACK+DECKER BCED400C1 20V MAX Cordless Edger
This is a cordless edger with a 7.5 inch double edge blade, a four-position height adjustment and a cut capacity of 1.75 inches. It measures 15.6 by 7.5 inches and is described as lightweight. It runs on a 20V MAX lithium-ion battery, and the title names a charger.
The included components field lists only the edger, so confirm whether the battery and charger are in the box. The listing says the battery can edge up to 815 feet on one charge, which is a seller claim and not a figure tested here. It is listed as an edger, not a string trimmer, so it is not a replacement for one.
The listing describes an integrated edge guide and adjustable depth settings. It is the right tool for a user who only needs to edge sidewalks, beds and driveway edges. The listing gives no warranty term.
RAXONE 21V 2-in-1 Cordless String Trimmer and Edger
This is a 2-in-1 trimmer and edger with a 12 inch cutting width and a listed speed of 9500 rpm. It weighs 6.2 lb and measures 49.21 by 12 inches. The title gives a 21V platform, and the listing includes two 2.5 Ah batteries and a fast charger. The battery platform is not named beyond the title, so the battery family is Not stated in the listing.
The head rotates 90 degrees for edging and tilts from 0 to 90 degrees for slopes and corners. The automatic line feed releases line as needed, and the kit includes 10 lines. The model is HG0556-CRE in crimson. No warranty period appears in the listing.
This is a practical choice for a user who wants both trimming and edging with an automatic line feed. Check the battery platform before you buy if you already own batteries.
Windpost 5-in-1 Cordless Weed Wacker
This is a battery-powered brush cutter and weed wacker with five blade types, a 750 W brushless motor and a listed speed of 18000 rpm. It has detachable wheels, a foldable shaft and a 98 to 155 centimeter telescopic rod. The recommended use is brush cutting.
Several figures disagree. The cutting width is 5.9 inches in the item bullet but 9.8 inches in the size field, so that width is Not confirmed. The weight is 3.5 lb in the field, while the description gives 2.5 kg, which is a different number. The battery is listed as 2 AAA in one bullet and as two 21V, 4000 mAh cells in another, so the battery type is Not confirmed. Confirm all three before you rely on them.
The package includes two batteries, a charger, wheels, gloves and five blades. This is a good fit for a user who wants a brush cutter for overgrowth and tall weeds, but check the battery type first. Warranty length is absent from the listing.
Heywork 20V 12 in Cordless String Trimmer and Edger
This is a 2-in-1 trimmer with a 12 inch cutting width and an 8000 rpm motor. It switches between trimming and edging modes, and it has an auto line feed that releases new line when the old line wears short. It weighs 6.3 lb according to the description, and the item dimensions are 17.32 by 6.69 inches.
The battery information is inconsistent. The item highlight says two 4 Ah batteries. The description says two 20V 4.0 Ah lithium-ion batteries and a dedicated charger. The battery count bullet, however, says two AAA batteries. The battery type is therefore Not confirmed, and the 4 Ah figure should be checked. The description also gives a battery average life of 40 years, which cannot be right, so ignore that line.
The package includes eight pre-wound spools, and the listing describes the tool as suitable for adults, seniors and long outdoor sessions. The warranty is not stated in the listing, though the seller mentions customer service.
Ohey 4-in-1 Cordless Grass Trimmer with LED Display
This is a battery-powered unit with a 20000 rpm speed and an 800 W motor. The title says 4-in-1, and the description covers standard trimming, wheel-assisted mowing, precision edging and brush cutting. The telescopic shaft adjusts from 43 to 55 inches, and the head rotates from 0 to 90 degrees.
The cutting width depends on the attachment. The description gives 11 to 12 inches for the edging wheel and longest line, 7 to 8 inches for the steel blade, and 6 to 7 inches for the brush cutter blade. That explanation makes the figure in the field consistent with the rest of the listing. The package includes five long and five short trimmer lines, four steel blades and two brush cutter blades.
The battery is two nonstandard cells with a combined 6000 mAh rating, and the listing gives about 120 minutes of average life. The manufacturer says the warranty covers the machine and the battery system for three years. The weight is not stated in the listing. This is a good match for a user who wants a trimmer, an edger and a brush cutter in one tool.
Liupoket 3-in-1 Electric Cordless Weed Wacker
This is a battery-powered weed wacker with an 8 inch cutting width and a 20000 rpm motor. It ships with two 2000 mAh batteries and a charger, and the listing describes a pure copper motor, which is a seller claim. The shaft is telescopic and about 47 inches long, and the weight is 3.28 lb.
The function count is Not confirmed. The title says 3-in-1, while the style field says 4 in 1. The listing describes a string trimmer, a brush cutter, an edger and a mower option, so the count depends on which attachments you use.
The package includes 10 metal blades, 10 spools of line, 10 plastic blades, two saw blades, wheels, a charger, gloves and goggles. The handle rotates from 0 to 180 degrees. The listing does not state a warranty term. This is a good fit for a user who wants a light tool with a wide choice of attachments and a narrower cut.
MtiolHig Cordless String Trimmer for Makita 18V (Tool Only)
This is a tool-only unit, designed to run on Makita 18V batteries. The battery and charger are not included, which the listing states clearly. The built-in fuel gauge shows remaining charge. It is a 3-in-1 trimmer, edger and mower design, with a 75 degree tilting head, a 90 degree handle and a 50 to 60 inch telescopic shaft. It folds to 28 inches for storage.
Several figures conflict. The cutting width is 12 inches in the field and 11 inches in the description. The speed is 4800 rpm in one bullet but 8500 rpm in the title and description. The field figure is 6 lb, and the description figure is 5.5 lb. Confirm these before you rely on them.
The package includes 18 extra 0.11 inch lines, and the guard can be adjusted to protect flowers and shrubs. The listing also gives a runtime estimate of 30 to 55 minutes with a 4 Ah or larger battery, which is a seller claim. It suits a Makita owner who wants a light trimmer with a folding shaft.
Glenvera 20V 12 in 2-in-1 Cordless String Trimmer and Edger
This is a 2-in-1 battery trimmer with two 20V 4.0 Ah batteries and a charger. The cutting width is 12 inches in the field, but the description gives a 16 inch cutting swath, so the width is Not confirmed. The motor is listed at up to 9000 rpm. The battery gives up to 60 minutes of runtime, and the tool covers up to a quarter acre on a single charge, which is a seller claim.
The head has four adjustable positions, and the handle rotates 180 degrees. The automatic line feed keeps the line at its working length, and you switch between trimming and edging with a button. The package includes eight spools of line. The weight is 6 lb in the field. The seller gives no warranty period in the listing.
This suits a user who wants an automatic line feed and a button-based switch. Confirm the cutting width before you choose a head.
PFYELYI Cordless Brush Cutter and Trimmer, 21V
This is a battery-powered brush cutter with an 850 W motor and a 6 inch cutting width. The battery capacity is 2000 mAh. The listing includes two 21V lithium-ion batteries and a fast charger, so you can switch batteries while one charges.
The battery description conflicts. The bullet says two 12V batteries are required, while the description says two 21V lithium-ion batteries. The weight is 4.2 lb in the field, but the description says 6.3 lb. Both are Not confirmed. Check the battery voltage on the listing before you buy.
The kit has an unusually large blade set: 10 plastic blades, two circular saw blades that the listing says can cut branches up to one inch, and two alloy blades for tough weeds. The head adjusts 90 degrees, and the telescopic pole runs from 33 to 43 inches. This suits a user who wants a brush cutter for branches and tough growth. A warranty term is not given in the listing.
Gisam 18.9 in Cordless Lawn Mower, Trimmer and Edger Combo
This is a 3-in-1 convertible tool. The detachable deck turns it into a push mower, and the head converts to a trimmer or an edger. The cutting width is 12 inches, and the listed speed is 15000 rpm. It includes two 4.0 Ah batteries, with three blades: a string head, metal blades for heavy weeds and a circular saw blade.
There is one important safety note. The circular saw blade is not compatible with the mower base, and the base must be fully removed before using the saw blade. Follow that rule. The listing also describes a built-in safety lock to prevent accidental starts. The angle adjusts from 20 to 80 degrees.
The listing does not state a charger, though it says the kit includes all accessories needed to start. Confirm whether a charger is included. The weight and warranty are not stated in the listing.
Lacoco 14 in Cordless String Trimmer and Edger for Dewalt 20V (Tool Only)
This is a tool-only unit for Dewalt 20V batteries, and the battery is not included. The cutting width is 14 inches, the speed is 20000 rpm and the motor is listed at 750 W. It weighs 5 lb. It has three modes, trimmer, edger and mower, with independent support wheels to reduce arm fatigue.
The listing says the battery is not included and that the tool works with Dewalt batteries, so you need one of those batteries already. The listing describes the tool as lightweight and suitable for women, seniors and family members, which is a seller claim about use. The listing is silent on warranty length.
This is a good fit for a Dewalt 20V owner who wants a wider cut and a mower option with the battery they already own. A buyer without a Dewalt battery should look at a kit that includes one.
Who should buy, who should skip
Buy one of these tools if:
- You already own a WORX PowerShare battery. The WG163 and WG170.9 are the closest matches, with the WG163 including batteries and a charger.
- You own a Makita 18V or Dewalt 20V battery. The MtiolHig and Lacoco are built for those batteries and are sold tool only.
- You want one tool that trims, edges and mows. The BLACK+DECKER MTC220, the WORX WG170.9 and the Gisam combo all include a mower function.
- You need a brush cutter for tall or tough growth. The Windpost, Ohey, Liupoket and PFYELYI listings all describe brush cutter attachments.
- You only need to edge sidewalks and beds. The BLACK+DECKER BCED400C1 is an edger only, and the LE760FF is an edger and trencher.
- You want a corded tool with no battery to charge. The BLACK+DECKER LE760FF is the only corded unit here.
Skip these tools if:
- You need a string trimmer for grass and nothing else. The BCED400C1 and LE760FF are edgers, not trimmers.
- You need a battery in the box and you have none. The MtiolHig, WG170.9 and Lacoco do not include a battery.
- You need a confirmed cutting width. Several listings conflict, including the Windpost, Glenvera and MtiolHig.
- You need a warranty term. Only the BLACK+DECKER LE760FF and MTC220 state a term, and the Ohey manufacturer statement covers three years for the machine and battery. The rest are not stated in the listing.
- You are looking for a Black+Decker 2-in-1 string trimmer and edger. None of the three Black+Decker listings in this data is a 2-in-1 string trimmer and edger.
Situations where these tools fit:
A homeowner with a small yard and a fence to trim is well served by a 12 inch head with a rotating edger. The WORX WG163, RAXONE and Heywork listings describe that setup. A person with a larger lawn and long edges may prefer a combo like the BLACK+DECKER MTC220 or the Gisam, since both add a mower deck.
A gardener with heavy weeds or brush should look at the brush cutter options, but confirm the battery type first, because the Windpost and PFYELYI listings conflict with themselves.
A user who wants to keep one battery platform can choose a tool that matches it. WORX owners can use the WG163 or WG170.9, Makita 18V owners can use the MtiolHig, and Dewalt 20V owners can use the Lacoco.
A person who works close to plants can look for a guard and a wheel. The WG163 includes a flower guard and an edger wheel, the WG170.9 includes a flower guard and support wheels, and the MtiolHig has an adjustable guard.
Pre-purchase checklist
- Check the power. Decide between a corded tool and a battery tool. The LE760FF is the only corded unit.
- Confirm the battery platform. If you own a battery, check that the tool uses the same platform. The MtiolHig is for Makita 18V and the Lacoco is for Dewalt 20V.
- Check what is included. Battery and charger status differs across the listings. Read the components field and the title together.
- Compare cutting width in the same units. Several listings show a width and a second width elsewhere. Use the figure you confirm on the page.
- Check the speed. The MtiolHig lists 4800 rpm in one place and 8500 rpm in another. Confirm the figure before you compare.
- Confirm the weight. Where the field and the description differ, as with the PFYELYI and Windpost, ask the seller which figure is right.
- Check the height range. A telescopic shaft that adjusts from about 43 to 55 inches suits more users than a fixed length.
- Check the head. A head that rotates for edging and tilts for slopes covers more of the yard.
- Check the guard and wheels. These matter for plants and for straight edges.
- Confirm the warranty. Most listings do not state a term. Ask the seller before you order if warranty matters to you.
Care and maintenance
The listings give a few care points that are worth following. The BLACK+DECKER LE760FF has a blade guard that is accessible for cleaning and a setup that needs no tools. Keep the guard clean so you can see the blade.
For battery tools, the WORX listing describes a push-button command feed for adding line when it is needed. Use the feed as the listing describes rather than bumping the spool, and check the line length before each job.
The Gisam listing is explicit about safety. The circular saw blade must be used only with the mower base removed. Do not use the saw blade with the deck attached.
For brush cutter blades, the Windpost, Ohey and PFYELYI listings describe several blade types. Use the blade that matches the job. The PFYELYI listing describes plastic blades as gentle on soft plants, and alloy blades for tough weeds. Change the blade when you change the job.
Common mistakes
Buying an edger when you need a trimmer. The BCED400C1 and LE760FF are edgers. They do not cut grass the way a line head does.
Assuming a battery is included. The MtiolHig, WG170.9 and Lacoco listings include no battery. The Gisam listing does not state a charger.
Choosing by brand alone. Only three of the 15 listings are Black+Decker, and none of them is a 2-in-1 string trimmer and edger. Compare the features, not the name.
Ignoring battery voltage. The Windpost and PFYELYI listings give conflicting battery types. Confirm the battery before you buy.
Trusting a single speed or width. The MtiolHig and Glenvera listings show two figures. Choose the one you can confirm.
Using a saw blade with the mower base attached. The Gisam listing says this is unsafe.
Skipping the guard. A guard protects plants and lawn decor. Several listings include one, and the MtiolHig has an adjustable guard.
Frequently asked questions
Is any listing in this guide a 2-in-1 Black+Decker string trimmer and edger?
No. The three Black+Decker listings are a corded edger and trencher, a 3-in-1 trimmer and mower combo, and a cordless edger. None is listed as a 2-in-1 string trimmer and edger.
Which tools come with a battery and charger?
The WG163 from WORX comes with two batteries and a charger. The RAXONE, Heywork and Glenvera listings also show two batteries and a charger. The Ohey listing names two batteries but does not state a charger. No battery comes with the MtiolHig, WG170.9 or Lacoco.
Which tool is corded?
The BLACK+DECKER LE760FF is the only corded tool in the guide.
Can I use my Makita or Dewalt battery?
The MtiolHig is compatible with Makita 18V batteries and the Lacoco with Dewalt 20V batteries. Both are sold tool only.
Why are some cutting widths marked Not confirmed?
Several listings show two different widths in different fields or in the description. Until the seller confirms which is right, neither figure is used in the comparison.
What is a brush cutter attachment?
In these listings, a brush cutter is a blade set for tall or tough growth. The Windpost, Ohey, Liupoket and PFYELYI listings all describe one. Each uses a different blade and battery setup, so check the listing before you buy.
Does the WORX WG170.9 include a battery?
No. The listing says the battery and charger are sold separately.
What should I check first?
Start with the power source and the battery you already own. Then check what is in the box, the cutting width and the weight.
