Same batteries for all Greenworks machines and all easy to use and efficient.
Bought this as our old corded strimmer (a Bosch one) was terrible, and we had recently purchased a 40V Greenworks lawnmower. The performance of this compared to the old one is like night and day. Very impressed. Was decent value for money too especially if you already have the battery packs.
Lightweight, battery life very good. Like that you can fold in half to transpo
Not as sturdy and powerful as a petrol streamer, but much more handy than the ones with cords. Does the job.
Perfect for me to use. Light weight, but still powerful.
Nothing wrong with the like new, just an open box, all parts were new and saves me nearly 20.
I bought this thinking it was the same size as my last strimmer, nope it’s way longer. Good strimmer though. Only used it once. But seeing as I’m under 5 feet it’s way too big for me. Someone in my family will be getting a good grass trimme
This tool works well for the size, deals with grass and weeds, nice and light for an old weak bloke like me, no pulling a string with the heart attacks like my heavy petrol machines, I can use the 40v battery that ce with the chain saw which is also great to use around the small holding. Reccomended
Great strimmer, worth having a cordless machine. Operates like a commercial machine but lightweigh
OK for normal strimming but useless for edging, the lines kept breaking. Sent it back
Great strimmer but I didn’t notice when I bought it that the battery and charger were not included.
I managed to get the battery and charger off Greenworks own website for the sale price of 85
Had I had noticed in the description that it wasn’t included I may have gone for something else.
However, the strimmer is VERY good, quite light weight and powerful enough that it cuts through even the thickest grass quite easily.
For me it lost a star as they could have put in bold or something about the battery and charger not being included.
Only had to use it a couple of times so far,but it does a good job. The battery seems to hold up well.

OK the add did say that it came with a battery and it didn’t but it is still the best strimmer I have used.
Excellent product, powerful, effective and lasts well. Charges very quick too
Good little trimmer for light work.
I have many strimmers and brushcutters some petrol etc.
For the price in the sale, this is a decent light weight trimmer that I am happy with. I think you get roughly 20min trimming from a battery.
I was really pleased with the trimmer. easy to put together. nicely balanced. ime 76 and managed it easy with a cuppa in between. I was very pleased that the battery and charger was included.
Very happy with this trimmer. The auto feed of the strimmer cable is a particularly good feature. Getting the handle position right for good balance is essential, but once done it is a joy to use.
Only used once so far, but it seems quite strong and powerful and it’s easy to use. Instructions for assembly could be clearer, but it’s not really difficult.
The 40 watt power is excellent. I made an error in that I didn’t read the description that it didn’t have a battery or charger with it and had to fork out the best part of 100 to buy these. Found the strimmer larger than expected so if you have a smallish area to strim best to buy a smaller strimmer.
Excellent easy to set up and does a good job
I am a great fan of this strimmer. I am a professional gardener & have a selection of some 5 machines for different applications
But for straight forward residential urban gardening g the his is excellent
Well balanced, good head speed, perfect work angle.
Used it for the first time and I’m really happy with its performance,
Its light weight and powerful, 2Ah battery really lasted a long time, the garden edges looks really crisp for the first time.
The trimmer head does not turn so you have to flip the whole trimmer to do edging (most profissional long shaft strimmers does not have the flip head feature which you will only find on short models as it would be impractical to flip the whole unit so absence of rotating head should not put you off)
I’m a short person and it didn’t feel too long for me despite some comments that suggested otherwise.

I bought Greenworks Battery Lawn Trimmer G40LT (Li-Ion 40V 30 cm cutting width 7000rpm variable speed control turntable & tillable motor head adjustable additional handle back in March 2019 and I am having trouble getting hold of new cord for this strimmer. You have put me onto a company in Swindon and they have send me some new one but these are blue cord and not the grey cord that was supplied with the machine. The blue one are useless and do not do the job. Please can I get the grey cord that was supplied with the original unit has this was the best for this machine. Your help in this matter would be apricated
Hi,
Yes, we are the company in Swindon who are the UK agent for Greenworks machines and spares.
Greenworks Europe supply us with the x3 pack of nylon spools with the blue line.
The original grey line is not available to buy as a spare.
Very poor that they do not supply the grey cord that comes with the machine when you first buy it. Do not buy the blue cord because it not fit for purpose.
If I knew that I was not able to get the spares for the strimmer I would not have bought it. Come on Greenworks get it sorted.

Wow gardening could not be easier now I got this my best very buy
It’s not lightweight but it is extremely effective and battery lasts well. Greenworks stuff is reliable and sturdy
love the cordless freedom, and very powerful, perfect for what i need
Really great trimmer. The line provided is really strong and hasn’t broken once, despite some fairly aggressive strumming.
First I should compliment Amazon and the seller for the very prompt delivery and good packaging.
Opening the box all the pieces were well packed. Instructions were easy to follow and assembly straightforward. The only point I make about that is that my model has a foam grip on the shaft just above where the secondary handle attaches which means there is in fact no room for adjusting that handle up or down the shaft. That said the position was fine for me.
The shaft itself comes in two pieces which connect together the top slipping over the bottom and secured by a pop up steel button which locks into a hole in the top sleeve and the joint is then further secured by a clamp with a large wing nut. This is where I have the main problem: if you want to change the angle of the cutting head from trim to edge you have to undo the clamp, depress the (very stiff) steel button, and then rotate the handle section. However there is no corresponding location hole for the steel button when the head is rotated in this fashion so the only method of securing it is to tighten the clamp. This works fine however I cannot help but think that it is not in fact designed to be rotated in this way. It is notable there are no instructions in the leaflet for how to rotate the head and nothing on the manufacturer’s website which suggests it is in fact rotatable.
I charged the battery and used it for the first time today. In use the first thing to say is this is quite a large tool and very heavy. It is very robust and build quality is excellent. However I did find it heavy. It is powerful and I could probably have managed with the less powerful 24v model as all I am using it for is trimming and edging a lawn but if you did have more substantial undergrowth to manage this would cope with ease. I do think it would benefit from a shoulder harness however. The Auto line feed worked well. The only problem was that due to the weight it was easy to let the head drop too low which meant ploughing rather than trimming. I also found the top handle awkward and would have preferred a pistol grip. Given the difficulty changing to edging mode I went round twice once trimming then edging. It is very irritating that a simple push button and twist has not been incorporated as my old b and d had. All in all it is a quality item and very powerful but practically not as adjustable as I had expected from the description.
So easy to start. Not too heavy to handle and does a really good job
Great product, had been away from home for a while and grass had become thick and matted, after trying my mains cabled strimmers first, which struggled I brought out the G40LT, chalk and cheese, it ripped through the work in no time without the hassle of trailing cable. Good battery life.
Product could do with a shoulder harness to support weight.
Great product well made and very sturdy. Battery lasted ages and could swap with my lawn mower battery if needed. Easy to assemble would recommended to family and friends.
Fantastic strimmer. Good battery life and easy to operate. And the ‘string’ is robust and easy to replace which is a big improvement on my old strimmer.
Easy to put together, works a treat and cuts grass effortlessly. Was a good buy
Whoever thought of having one battery to fit all of a brands tools, had a brilliant idea. It handy for the manufactures, because you keep buying other tools from their range. I think I have 5 GreenWorks gardening tools now – they all work well. If you have the opportunity to buy 2 batteries, go for it. Now and again GreenWorks makes that offer.
I invested in a Greenworks strimmer and hedge trimmer with 2 x 40V batteries and a charger in May 2019.
I have been extremely pleased with both products but unfortunately a few weeks ago the charger went “bang” and stopped working. I was told to contact Greenworks, as there was a 3 year warranty on the charger when it was purchased. After a short conversation with a very helpful person in Greenworks, a brand new charger duly arrived by post a few days later.
Thank you Greenworks for excellent customer service.
Heavier than anticipated and the head does not rotate so vertical edging very difficult.
Still early days but appears to be excellent quality, very user friendly.
Battery lasts long enough for my small / medium sized garden.
The instruction manual lest something to be desired although once I found the illustrated instruction leaflet at the bottom of the box everything became much clearer. Very easy to use and very efficient in the awkward corners!
The combination of the operating instructions for the Strimmer and the battery and associated safety instructions ran to nearly 430 pages in 27 languages – a lot of paper for very little information!
It works very well and doesn’t drain the battery too quickly. I think the shaft length may be too long for some people though and it’s heavier than the 18v cordless one I had previously. Still very pleased it and not silly expensive.

Powerful – probably more than I need for my small garden. I have the Greenworks lawn mower and this took the same battery, so decision made. My daughter used it to clear an overgrown patch of brambles, bamboo, thistles and nettles: all about waist height. It absolutely sailed through the lot apparently, in very short time and on one full battery charge. The area cleared is about 20ft square and there was not an inch of ground to be seen prior to the strimmer doing its thing. Sadly, I don’t have photo’s to add to this review, but apparently the neighbours were hanging over their fence to marvel at this wonderful strimmer. Highly recommended.
Delighted with purchase easy to use, lightweight. Battery duration forty minutes. Can use same batteries that I use with lawn mower. Impressed with this company.
I bought the Greenworks G40LTK2 to replace an old petrol strimmer which I was having difficulty getting started after many years service. The petrol strimmer had plenty of power for getting through tough vegetation, but I used it mostly for trimming the edge of the lawn and cutting the grass and weeds on the roadside verge which are not too challenging (ie not many brambles) – however I do have about 70 yards of verge to get through. The G40LTK2 stuggled a little the first time I attempted the verge and I did have to re-charge it twice before I got through it, but it had got a little out of control. On subsequent cuts it has managed it on only one re-charge and it deals with grass trimming (and annual weeds) in the garden no problem. It does not get through the work as fast as the petrol strimmer but does the job – the thinner strimming line which other reviewers have mentioned is up to dealing with most things short of brambles. All in all I am very satisfied with my purchase.
I already had the battery and charger from my hedge cutters, so buying this was even better value, and when comparing it to my ancient little chorded Bosch strimmer, this Greenworks is certainly more powerful and the line on this seems so much tougher/longer lasting – and there’s two spools of it in the box. I’d say I notice the weight of it after a while, but I’m only a short a***
I replaced an old black and decker trimmer as fed up with its weight and poor battery life. The battery which also powers a blower and mover is reasonably good and importantly holds its charge. Downside is that it is longer than my old one but once you get the hang of it, it’s fine and it does trim really well

it the perfect trimer for me, light weight, but quite powerfull and works great, no problems with the automatic string feeder, 100% recomended
works well,very powerful but a little on the heavy side. should be fine if you are young and fi
Not tiring to use and a good battery life. Lightweight and doesn’t impact on the arthritis in my wrists.
In fact, I liked it so much I then went out and bought their lawnmower, which shares the same battery system.
Easy to assemble with no cables to worry about. Good battery life and the battery fits all other Greenworks tools so no need to buy expensive add on batteries. I cut two lawns and strimmed a virtual meadow of long grass before the battery run out of steam. Short re-charge time. This is a beast of a trimmer which is very powerful. It tackles virtually anything and uses hardly any line which is dispensed automatically. Fantastc peice of kit!!! Highly recommended for the larger more challenging garden.
My first proper strimmer and decided to buy this one with the battery and charger, cheaper than buying separately.
I was put off petrol due to weight and maintenance. Once put together, 2 screws and a couple off tightening knobs and its ready. Battery charged within an hour. Only had to lengthen cutting wire once.
Used on my allotment and did a good job on nettles, grass and the odd bramble. arms were aching after 20 mins so happy when battery died after half hour.
Looking at getting the lawn mower next year as mine is getting old.
Not as lightweight as advertised but well made, sturdy and effective! Pairs battery wise with my Greenworks cordless lawn mower. A great and versatile pair of tools!
Although not the cheapest option this strimmer works well with great battery life. It recharges quickly too, and seems to tackle longer grass with no problems.
If you want a strimmer without an electric cable, or the heaviness of a petrol unit. then this one very much worth considering.
Having a green works lawn mower and. Having the battery s it was just right to put in the trimmer. Works very wel
Cuting down long grass and weeds. Very pleased.
Great strimmer reasonably priced. We bought the strimmer and the hedge cutter at the same time and saved money by buying only one battery (the batteries are interchangeable).
Works very well. Powerful. Battery lasts about 30-40 minutes. Charges quickly. I would recommend getting a second battery if you have a Large garden to go round.
Pretty good so far. Delivered within a couple of days of order. Not the lightest but great to get around the garden without worrying about an electric wire. Definitely worth the money
Purchased with a little apprehension because of my age I can no longer handle my petrol strimmer but it is very good , battery life approx 20 min, suit domestic use well , not as light as others I have tested but more robust than most.
Would I buy again ,Yes
As good as any petrol without the agro of not starting and running out of fuel. Great value works very well love their products but batteries are expensive!
Overall a great buy, good value, worked well on one 2.0 battery for a fair amount of work but I bought an unbranded 5.0amp battery as a back up and that was worth it…
Lighter than my quality petrol product which would never start easy and made me want to smash it up lol, the battery products are so easy…
Having already purchased the 40v lawnmower, this tool only option was a good buy.
It is easy to put together and I had it up and running in 5 mins.
It’s a domestic level garden tool bit does the job without pesky trailing cables or noxious fumes.
Contrary to some of the Q&A responses I read here, this model – the G40-LT – does use the G-Max 40V battery.
This isn’t the lightest bit of kit in the world, especially with the battery on board, but it is extremely powerful and does a great job – comparable to many mains powered trimmers I’ve had over the years but with no cable trailing behind.
Would highly recommend.
Buy the B&D replacement line too (BLACK+DECKER A6171-XJ 50 m Line on Storage Spool ) – also sold by Amazon at a great price!
Easy to assemble, quiet in operation. Batteries are an expensive item thus four stars.
Trims well, but string keep coming out uncontrolled and it’s heavy.
Great product from Greenworks and powered by my solar powe
Greenworks 40V Cordless String Trimmer, Lightweight Grass Trimmer,:- bought a Greenworks mower and this uses the same batterie. Works as well as the mower so happy with purchase.
Used to cut grass in areas not accessible by mower.
I find the battery lasts in this ages, so use the one battery from mower to finish off with this strimmer.
It has responsive control, and certainly does a good job at strimming with little need to play with the cords.
It’s worth having if you have the lawn mower, but would be considered pricey if bought on its own when you add battery and charger.
I like this, it will just take time to learn how to best hold it, and make strimming even easier.
The strimmer was easy to assemble with a few reviews of the instructions. Seems robust, well built, good grip(s) and easy to manouevre.
It’s heavier than my old corded version but the convenience of not pulling a cord around the garden means you can work at more than twice the speed.
After 10 mins the battery showed only 25% used.
Well recommended
Great trimmer well balanced a delight to use and the guard protects
The plants bushes etc
I wish I had purchased one years ago never again trip over the cord or cut it with the mower. a little on the heavy side.
The lawn mower is mediocre, so you may want to consider that if you are looking to change over everything.
had it about amonth, used a few times. does what it’s supposed to do. weighs less than i thought it wouldeven with the battery.
Only 4 stars as head does not swivel. Otherwise does what it says on the tin.
Cracking tool for the garden. I’m a convert from petrol to battery. It’s much easier to use. No smelly petrol or noisy engine. A bit heavy but makes for a good workout.
I used the strummer to cut grass which was to high to mow. Also I use it to trim the edges on the lawns.
Loved the low noise, light weight, and efficiency. I am hoping that it is easy to replace the cord when the current one runs out (but I don’t know yet.
Very easy to use. Felt safe as there are no cables and no nasty petrol smells.
Great item but the balance seems all wrong to me …on the heavy side
I bought this since I was very impressed with my previous Greenworks purchase – a battery lawnmower. I will now buy their hedge-trimmer. The same battery powers them all.
Unlike the Greenworks cordless lawn mower which I purchased at the same time the strimmer feels solid and well made.
Could have done with a shoulder strap possibly but it does the job very well and I’m very pleased with it.
Forty five minutes on the battery but then you really need to take a break anyways because of the vibration.
Very impressed so far.
Works well, powerful and easy to hold but really needs an adjustable head otherwise would give 5 stars!
Pros Overall a great trimmer
Cons As i’m only 5ft 2ins the shaft is much too long for my height and cannot be adjusted.
It’s so light and maneuverable not to need a harness and has more than sufficient battery life in one charge for what I want to do.
Very good product, already have the lawn mower. Batteries good and charge in 45 minutes.
So easy to use. charge the battery and off you go. No fade or problems. I use two of these to keep a cemetery grass short and they are brilliant.
It uses the same size battery as the Greenworks mower (which I have reviewed elsewhere and by which I am not impressed). Easy to use; very convenient with the absence of wires but not quite the control of other strimmers I have previously used.
Purchased this after using a Greenworks battery lawn mower. These products are so well built and reliable to use.
This trimmer is well built and strong also powerful but some people may find it somewhat heavy to use but does a great job
