Greenworks 60V String Trimmer Review | Quick Wind Head and Good Balance

One of the highlights of the Greenworks Pro 60V trimmer (model ST60L210) is the 16-inch cutting swath. Almost all of the string trimmers that we looked at in our recent Best Battery-Powered Weedeater Roundup, Pro models and DIY models alike, cut with a 15-inch diameter or less. Greenworks also uses a new Load N’ Go trimmer head, so restringing it and ratcheting the line back to a usable length takes just seconds.

I've owned this trimmer for a while now and had no issues with it. However, I did not realize it had two speeds until I watched your video. Nice to know. Thanks!

Thanks so much, you just saved my sanity with this video, looking at the spool it makes no sense at all. Follow these steps and don’t ask questions. That will get it done, it’s a two minute operation if you do.

Thanks Kenny! After purchasing the 80v trimmer and leaf blower combo at Costco last year. I had misplaced the directions and really found it difficult to wind the trimmer. Your video is the best and a saved me that headache moving forward! Quick and easy! I highly recommend this trimmer as well as the leaf blower!

Thanks for showing how to reload the string. We spent entirely too long fighting to get it to work before watching this video.

Thanks for the info, I just watched a video of someone taking the whole head apart to restring and thought...there has got to be a better way. And now I got it!

Thanks. Much better than the official tutorial. They never discussed taking the cover off which revealed the tangled string, which was keeping me from feeding more string through.

Thank you so much Kenny....your review was excellent...especially for a little "old" lady who's never done this before! I'm going to do my best and certainly appreciate your telling me how it works. 😀 Cheers!

Love this weed eater!! After I got my greenworks 60v mower last summer, I recently ordered the 60v weedeater. That way I can use the same battery/charger for all my yard equipment. No more fooling around with fuel mixtures/carborators/spark plugs and de winterising my tools

UPDATE~Found the perfect line for this trimmer! It transforms this trimmer from a tool I can't use to one that I want to use :)
Dewalt line .080 x 225ft. part #DW01DT802 (found at Home Depot). This smooth line (not twisted or multi-angle) makes loading a breeze and the bump advance now works perfect.
Just get this line & thank me later!

GREAT video ! Thank you. I had no problem changing the line after watching.

Thank you! I really appreciate your demo and explanation for installing replacement string. I really like the trimmer but it's NOTHING without string. :) I have Greenworks cordless mower, blower and trimmer--all work well!

Thanks for the review! Appreciate the clear instructions on how to replace/add the line.

This thing is a beast...way better than my gas trimmer.

[andrewkeegan]

Thank God I found this video. I was cussing at the weed trimmer in the kitchen, LOL....This worked like a charm in getting that dang line threaded thru. While I do like the trimmer, the line change-out is a bit difficult. Especially if you have arthritis in the hands. Turning that know took all I had.

Men. thank you. You just saved me a lot of stress trying to replace the rope on this

I have this trimmer. When I run the battery all the way down, and place it on the charger, I get a flashing red light and it won't except a charge. I must wait up to a day, repeatedly trying to get the battery to charge, but still a red flashing light, until it decides to except the dead battery and start charging. What's up with this?

[edla]

thanks for information about trimmer lines, pretty easy installations. i learned how to do it appreciate to show in video. Thanks again.

Kenny
Can you get the Load N Go head as a replacement part for an older model Greenworks 60V the kind with the battery that loads from the back end ?
Would it be interchangeable with that style / model ?

[jillbrown]

How do you change the trimmer head on this? I would like to use blades.

[hibiki]

Nice. I like reviews and demonstrations like this. Right to the point. Thanks.
