Archive: Bought a new Ridgid 18V Cordless string trimmer
Posted By RichC on August 13, 2023
It is late in the summer grass cutting season to be buying a new piece of lawn equipment, but keeping my favorite weedwacker going has finally gotten the best of me. If it were a normal lawn season and turning dry by August, this might not be a problem … but the regular rains this year have keep the grass growing and me busy.
So since I’m a Ridgid cordless tool guy, and because Ridgid has stood behind their LSA twice for me so far (one and two), I decided to buy a Ridgid 18V Brushless 14 in. Cordless Battery String Trimmer from Home Depot. I can’t vouch for the power, battery life or durability so far, but with a 4Ah battery and a quick trim around the pool and back patios … it works just fine. I’ve yet to load new .095 string on the spool or clear a wrapped weed, etc from the cutting head, but the power seems find and balance pretty good. It will be great if I don’t have to mess with fuel lines, carburetors and starting problems all the time!
