WORX WG157E Review

The WORX WG157E Cordless Grass Trimmer is a 2-in-1 trimmer and edger with a 180 degree rotating trimming head. As a cordless tool it can be brought anywhere, including places without power outlets and also places that extension leads cannot reach. It's instead powered by a 2000mAh battery (included) which can also be used with other WORX products.

We like the design of the trimmer. Not only is it lightweight and easy to manoeuvre, but it also has an ergonomic handle for comfort, a second handle for enhanced control (and to allow for a neater cut), and automatic line feeding for convenience. The trimmer also has a long shaft so that you can cut grass/weeds in areas beyond the reach of lawnmowers.
