Worx String Trimmers: Where the Brand Began
It's no coincidence that Worx built its entire identity around the string trimmer. The Worx GT was the brand's very first tool, launched in 2007, and it immediately set a new benchmark for what a battery-powered trimmer could do. Since then, Worx has continued to refine and expand its string trimmer lineup, making it one of the most thoughtfully engineered categories in the brand's catalog.
Key Technologies That Set Worx Trimmers Apart
Worx string trimmers are defined by a handful of innovations that solve the real frustrations everyday lawn owners face:
- Command Feed® Technology: Rather than relying on bump-feed systems that can be unpredictable, Worx's patented Command Feed automatically extends the trimmer line at the press of a button — no bumping, no guesswork, no wasted line.
- 2-in-1 Trimmer & Edger Conversion: Many Worx trimmer models convert instantly from a string trimmer into an in-line wheeled lawn edger by rotating the shaft and engaging the locking mechanism — eliminating the need to purchase separate tools.
- 90-Degree Pivoting Head: The trimmer head tilts a full 90 degrees, allowing users to tackle tight corners, uneven terrain, and tricky slopes with ease.
- Power Share™ Battery Platform: Every Worx cordless string trimmer runs on the Power Share platform, which spans 20V, 40V, and 80V tools. One battery family powers 75+ Worx products, from trimmers and mowers to drills and saws — a genuine system-level advantage for homeowners invested in the ecosystem.
- Brushless Motor Options: Higher-end models in the lineup feature brushless motors for reduced noise, lower vibration, extended motor life, and improved runtime efficiency.
- Ergonomic, Lightweight Design: Worx trimmers are engineered to weigh as little as 5.5 lbs, with telescoping shafts, adjustable auxiliary handles, and folding hinge mechanisms to reduce fatigue during extended use.
The Worx GT Revolution and 40V Series
Two product lines stand out in the Worx string trimmer family. The GT Revolution (20V) carries on the legacy of the original Worx GT with a fully adjustable telescoping shaft, 7-position auxiliary handle, and a 6-position pivoting trimmer head — making it adaptable to users of virtually any height. The 40V series steps up the performance envelope, delivering gas-comparable torque and runtime with zero emissions and significantly less weight than a traditional gas trimmer.
Who Are Worx Trimmers Built For?
Worx trimmers are purpose-built for homeowners who want capable, low-maintenance yard tools without the noise, fumes, or upkeep associated with gas-powered equipment. The lineup spans lightweight 20V models ideal for small yards and quick touch-ups all the way to 40V powerhouses that can power through dense overgrowth and handle medium-to-large properties. The cordless, battery-driven approach means instant starts, quieter operation, and a dramatically simplified maintenance routine compared to gas alternatives.
