In this video I break down five of the best string trimmers to buy right now, with a focus on what actually matters in the yard: real cutting ability in tall grass, battery life, balance, noise, and how cleanly each one edges. I also dropped product links in the description so you can quickly see pricing and pick the one that fits your budget. My best overall pick is the Husqvarna 110iL because it’s not the most powerful, but it’s the most complete package for most homeowners—good battery life, well balanced, not too loud, and priced competitively. If you need more muscle for thick undergrowth and larger properties, the Husqvarna 330iKL is the “big brother” with thicker line and a wider swath, and it absolutely devoured dense brush in my testing. I also cover the DeWalt 60V for tall weeds and briers (a rock-solid, pounding-ready trimmer), plus two lightweight value picks: the Craftsman 20V brushless (super easy on the ears) and the Worx PowerShare GT 3.0 (great for typical suburban trimming and edging, with a couple quirks to know before you buy).
