- NEW EGO 56V POWERLOAD Carbon Fiber String Trimmer EXTREME TESTING! In this video we show the #verycoolgang how the new EGO POWER+ 56V Lithium Ion String Trimmer with Carbon Fiber Shaft holds up too extreme testing! We cant believe the results put out by this new battery operated string trimmer from EGO POWER+ they have really stepped up the cordless outdoor power equipment game with this model! Let us know your thoughts and experiences with the complete line up of EGO POWER + tools is in the comments section below!
I've had this model for more than 2 years. It still works perfectly.
I have gone full EGO for all my lawn accessories. I have the blower, string trimmer, edger, hedge trimmer, LOVE them all. Batteries are incredible. I have 2.5 acres of yard with a ton of concrete and these tools will weed eat and edge the whole thing without issue. I love not having to try and crank a stubborn 2 stroke or running out of gas in the middle of the job. I always have a spare battery available
We got this for my dad and I want it. Its strong, light, no gas/vibrations, pretty sweet!
I have this model. It has more torque than any trimmer I ever owned. It’s incredibly lightweight, and it’s got the best dead simple loading mechanism iv ever seen. Expensive, but worth it.
Is it really incredibly light weight though?? It's heavier then alot of trimmers
@@stevevinas I'd say it's better balanced than others. Which may give it that light feeling. Motor is in the head of the trimmer. And battery on opposite end.
Is it still running well? Would you suggest it?
Awesome video Vince!!! That’s why I love your reviews because everything that you say about the tools that you review is a fact! You make it so easy for us viewers! Your honesty and experience makes decision making cake! Thank you again for your hard work for all of us! Bob
Thank you for all the support and awesome feedback Robert! We are so glad too have you as a part of the VERYCOOLGANG!
@@VCGConstruction TTR today
Went to Lowes today and picked up the Kobalt 40v string trimmer.
I'm a pro landscaper so I took it back and planned on getting the 80v Kobalt which I know is a great trimmer.
I ended up going with this E Go instead and holy hell!! This is my favorite trimmer I've EVER used.
I cannot wait to hit my accounts with this baby!!
How’s it holding up? Any regrets?
I own the CF trimmer, 650 Blower and the edger.. EGO is where it’s at. Now for the mower and Hedger...
My friend has this model and I have used it quite a bit plus I have loaded the line on it. 13' of line loads a full spool. EGO has a 18" Chain saw w/ a 5AH battery, standard size bar and chain, weighs 14.5 lbs including the 5 lb battery and it turns 11,000 rpms. That saw would hang with any 50cc gas chainsaw. I look forward to getting one. Thanks for sharing, Paul from Texas
Before I left DeWalt, I disassembled and studied many tools, and EGO products I believe will be the best outdoor brand in the future. They can always develop many charming functions, like self winding. Also, personally, I love EGO's color.
I never used the second/spare line. Keep it hanging in the garage so when I need to cut a new piece I always cut the right length. Used it last summer and worked so well bought one for my mother in law this year.
Got mine 4 months ago and absolutely love it. Thing is a monster! So happy my ryobi took a crap on me!
Thanks for the real world feedback James! This trimmer is sweet!
VCG Construction I’ve gone full ego fanboy because of this thing and the new blower! Seriously can’t believe how much better this thing works! And the power reload is clutch! Getting a mower soon for the areas my John deer can’t go! Then it’s the edger and polesaw!
Excellent review with content and demonstration that actually matter. Thank you.
Excellent review. Straight to the piont. Love it. Especially cutting the thick brush. Excellent demonstration cutting the thick brush. I have watched a lot of reviews of the Ego string trimmers and your review is the first and only one that I have seen that really gets into it and shows the power of cutting the thick tall grass and thick brush. I really appreciate this. Thanks for sharing and thanks for an excellent review. Helped me to make up my mind. I am sold on this trimmer and the Ego battery string trimmers. 👍👍
If that self winding works, & works well.... That alone would be worth the price tag, cuz let’s face it. Nobody likes to wind up new string into their trimmers. Come on, admit it, you all know what I’m talking about, doing the trimmer dance, of when you load up the head with new string, after you figured out, finally, how to wind the thing......and then you go to snap it into the head; AND BANG! It all unwinds on you😂 So much fun, ain’t it😉
Been using the Ego edger for last month, & I’ve been impressed, as its my first Ego OPE & I’m liking it (also, that battery not as bad as I thought would be; cuz the trimmer is pretty balanced👍🏻).
Like the reviews Vince, b/c not only do you unbox the tool, talk about it, but you ACTUALLY show us video of using the tool (w/o making it wait for a 2nd Vid).
Don’t mean to knock on other channels, but when you’re doing a review/unboxing, imo, ya gotta show us the unboxing & the tool in action & not just talk about it.
The other great thing Vince, you give pretty great tips & tricks for using the tools, how awesome is that
Cheers✌🏼
Thank you for the awesome feedback and real world experience aepek! I have done the string trimmer dance many times 😄😂 We know the gang wants too see what the tool can do!! Thank you for all the support! Cheers A
Purchased mine a few weeks ago. Love it so far. The only thing I’m a little concerned about is the battery life per work session. Fully charged first time using I got about 1hr of decent work done. But that’s with the battery that came with it.
Any issues or regrets with your ego trimmer?
I bought one when they were on sale at home depot.... it's a bit heavy with the 5.0 battery on it... but i absolutely love it.
Just ordered one so i will let you know once i get it/ use it. Thanks for the review seems very impressive.
Could you use the trimmer to edge with? I need a tutorial.
I'm a new homeowner and bought this right away and been using it for 2 months didn't realize you could just bump it to have more line come out. I feel dumb. Thanks for the video!!!
I'm curious how you've been getting the line out before watching this video?
@@anthonysolis4163 being an idiot and restringing it every time with the existing line.
Just bought one. Could not get the gas trimmer to start so went and bought the EGO. Should be a lot easier to start. Thanks for the Vid.
Just picked one of these up today when I got my new zero turn. It feels/looks high quality. Looking forward to trying them both tomorrow.
How’s it holding up? Do you regret getting it? Anything better?
@@wakawaka1976 It’s been great. I’ve got a lot of their products, so it’s easy for me to swap a battery quickly when one dies. Still running strong.
yo i work at home depot and weve been pushed to sell this model super hard. havent had a chance to get one in my hands yet. glad to see its working so well :)
Yo Vince! I'm still on gas powered trimmer but will DEFINITELY go battery once my power head locks up. Although, I'm in favor of attachment-capable power heads. If only to reduce costs of multiple power heads. Trimmer, edger, hedge trimmer, etc. Possibly Kobalt, Milwaukee QUIK LOK, or Makita, but i DEFINITELY wouldn't settle for single use OPE in the battery platform. If only to reduce costs up front. Thanks for the video and God bless #theverycoolgang! 😁👍✌
Yo that thing is really impressive. Thanx for the vid Vince, see ya on TTR. Bring on a Skil tool, considering Ego was just up ;) much love VCG.
Awesome video! EGO makes great lawn tools but I was wondering what's the big deal with such a strong shaft? it's not like people dual with the trimmer. Also wouldn't the EGO POWER+ Multi-Head System be a better bank for the buck since ppl can just swap out the heads for different purposes without a bunch of tools lying around the garage?
I was using the trimmer on the multi-head system but got frustrated when the head wore down so much it made re-stringing the line a chore. That's when I bit the bullet and bought this weed eater instead and I haven't regretted it! I've since converted my multi-head weed eater to a brush cutter blade and still enjoy using it as an attachment.
@@anthonysolis4163 mhmmm, if there is an issue with the head attachment, wouldn't you just replace that head or send back to EGO from the warranty? Or did you meant the head wore down faster because it is a multi-head system? I am confused. It's like if you get a flat tire, you probably would just change that tire rather than just bit the bullet and buy a brand new car.
Trimmer attachment for multi head isn’t carbon fiber. Also doesn’t have power load feature. Also, you don’t really save much money doing the trimmer attachment v the standalone trimmer. It was only a $40 difference for me. I consider it $40 well spent. It’s so light and well balanced compared to other trimmers used.
I’m getting the Milwaukee strimmer that’s also a hedge trimmer, pole saw and edger! Got a 12 AH for it 😂
I got mine about a month ago and I love it
Nice bill! I am really excited about this trimmer!
id probably go with a ego if i didn't get a good deal on a gen one Milwaukee weed eater. love the Milwaukee line, just wish they would figure out the lawn mower.
Wow very powerful! Thx for the review! 😊
Thank you for the awesome feedback MJC!!
Nice video you guys never fail to make a bad video I watch them every day
Just scooped this up from Home Depot for 159. It's almost winter so may not have to use it until next year but couldn't pass on that deal
That powered spooling the trimmer line is just amazing and so cool such a nice powerful unit thats a very awesome unit @Vcgconstruction
I think it is an awesome feature Antonio! Thanks for the feedback brother!
@@VCGConstruction anytime keep up the great work Brother
Antonio Claudio Michael works like a dream too! Takes me less than a minute to load a new line!
@@reznor_59 im looking st picking one up but I dont think I need one i have my stihl Kombisystem and well as my Milwaukee quik lok system
Antonio Claudio Michael I was looking at Milwaukee since my tools are all m18. But between Vince’s reviews and my father in law swearing by ego I pulled the trigger. Sell the other two and buy the ego! 😂
Finally! A weed trimmer that spins clockwise I love that!…✌🏻
Love mine, although it’s pretty long and heavy. Good thing I don’t have much to trim.
Smashing the like button may give you 7 years good luck but hitting the thumbs down makes you a downer at parties.
No one likes a party pooper!!!
Привет из России! Крутые видео!
Greetings from Russia! Cool videos!
Great vids. Totally off of trimmers. Just bought all my Milwaukee gen 3 M18 CX Hammer drill 2804-20 ( Not surge )Impact Driver 2853-20 and Circular saw 2732-21HD. THANKS FOR INFO. All with spare CX 5.0 batteries and chargers for $152.00 a piece with hard box.
Vince, have you thought about the Milwaukee string trimmer? I was going to get one, since I have many Milwaukee M12/M18 tools
So how you liking this platform? Im looking for a home landscape battery powered platform. Mostly lawnmower, and weed trimmer. Thanks
Just picked this beast up yesterday!!!!! 🔥 Love it! Smash that like button gang!
Thanks general!!
How have your guys trimmers held up? Any regrets buying the ego?
EGO String Trimmer Regrets!
Dang it!!! Just got a Milwaukee quicloc
Nothing to have regrets about
You gotta admit the ego restring feature is pretty cool
@@johnniely4148 it is. But I'll take attachment capability over that, well if Milwaukee out with MORE attachments (or adapter to other brands of they want to be lazy).
Would like to see tiller and sweeper at least come out.
To be fair, the string loader on the Gen2 (and later Gen1s) is very easy to use as far as trimmers go.
How do you like it Johnnie?
That’s thing is awesome I want one now!
I like this. I got my own
If I can find a way to get 1 it's done and very sweet Are you able to use there other attachments on this 1?
I have been looking at these but I am left handed so Im not sure if the safety button on the left side only is a good thing for left handed people.
These are hard to find at the moment (9/25/2020). Walmart had it at $300 and ACE hardware has it for $239, sometimes $229. I’ll wait for Lowe’s to get it in stock. Can’t wait, looking forward to using this one.
Lowes has it on sale now for $199.
@@joaquinsuarez6090 thank you!
Yo cuz this is Clint from TRZ Ohhhh!!! One question I have is, can a brush blade be used on it?
😂😂
😂🤣
I must have this JUST because of the carbon fiber,,think I need to see an addiction specialist for carbon fiber stuff... It's so bad I spent $95 on a writing pen 🤦🏼♂️
Is that the word of the day swaft VCG gang Vince's word of the day 😂👊
SHAFFFTTTTTA 🤣😂
Hey I'm looking for the best 12-volt impact driver newest and greatest one on the market today what would be your suggestion I want the 12 volt because I'm an HVAC service tech and I prefer the lightweight impact
Sold !
I have this and LOVE IT!!!
Thanks for the feedback bill!!
Like your presentation. Yo Yo Yo.
Do they make one in the US wit bike handles. These kind hurt my back
Is it heavy? How much does it weigh?
Dude, chill.
Will the 5.0 ah battery fit on that 56v powerload carbon fiber string trimmer besiides the 2.5 ah battery? I have one myself I goy it last Septeber in 2020.I'm just looking to upgrade my battery power on it,for longer lasting time.
Best on the market.
Can I put an IDECH Rotary Scissor head on this?
Ego or the milwaukee trimmer??
nice vid vince
Thank you dilnoor!!!
Love it
Not enough likes, get after it guys
Thank you Daniel!!
How's it compared to milwaukee trimmer?

Can you use it as an edger?
I have one it is great I cut iron weeds like they are nothing great buy
Wow thanks for the great feedback Darrell!
Nice toy Vince
Thanks Stephen!
Woot Woot!
WOOOT!!!
Compared to the Milwaukee?
lets see if Clint is right....let the KOTC stand on that string trimmer to test the shaft strength 💪😂😂
Come down! Well test it!
Clint broke His When he jumped on his
He jumped on the middle bracket lol
@@VCGConstruction yeah
Awesome
Thank you Howard!!
I like it
Wonder how well these battery tools would do in a state like Arizona in my area that gets up to 127 degrees on some given days 🤔 🙄 @Vcgconstruction
The bigger batteries are fan cooled. I run them at 105° ambient pretty regularly and there’s no appreciable decline between that and 55°
@@ptw783 I did not know that ego batteries were fan cooled while in use that is very neet
No same person would be out trimming weeds in 127 degree heat......would they?🤯
@@jpjp3873 when it's that temp most of the year you do
@@AntonioClaudioMichael Whew! That's brutal. Stay hydrated my friend!🥵
Does this have a better motor than the first Ego trimmer that came out in 2014? Mine feels weaker than the Kobalt 80V
I know the battery 🔋 is 2.5 instead of 2.0. I just sold my original 2015 ego weedeater with charger and battery for $100 and now I’m about to go buy the carbon fiber one. I think the speed is faster on the new ones but 🤷♂️
@@BeeBopGaming the newer models have a stronger brushless motor and noticeably stronger than the one i got back in 2014. i have 2 of the carbon fiber shaft ones.
You sound like Mick from carry trainer channel. You packin when you're out trimming?lol
@1:26 I’ve been trying to figure out for years if that’s Gerry or not. I really want it to be Gerry.
Está bien pero la echo 4605 es la de mi sueño (dreams)
Can I have the ego trimmer please
This guy's accent tells me he's from philly
How much $?
$235 at Home Depot
Bought and returned the next day. Its still heavy, the handle is uncomfortable and when ypu want to trim the grass on the edge and flip it. The handle becomes awkward to hold and use. The auto feed motor sounds like it will break after 20 uses. Went back to my ryobi with foot lever to swap angles. Also its like a fan. It has so much torque it moves on you. Really over priced, heavy, over powered.
I can't handle your voice Vince. See you later
no need to read instructions.
Do u like this ego over the dewalt or the Milwaukee string trimmer? @VCGconstruction
100 times better then the dewalt. Have never tried the Milwaukee trimmer. Ego batteries are amazing I get 30 to 40 min trimming using it on regular task but the power is there on thicker and taller grass and weeds
@@mattg4294 thanks
I think this string trimmer is really nice and surprisingly powerful!
