- Checking and Testing out the Greenworks 40V Weed Wacker. This specific model is the STF456 which comes with a 40 volt 4 amp hour battery. In the video I go though all the features, run the string timer till the battery dies, and I add new string.

Thanks for sharing my lawn care guy gave up on use I was keeping him because he needed the money but he issues so he lift. Now I got to go back doing it. I got the 40v lawnmower and teller so all I need is the tool. Plenty of batteries.
Keep up the good work.
Good demo
I'm looking forward to greenworks battery powered straight shaft string trimmer
excellent video ! your battery pack the 2.0 amp hour or the 4.0 amp hour battery... still a good tool.. hassle free it seems !
I like it better than the 56v EGO and 40v SKIL that I have. If you got a lot of trimming on your hand I'd consider the higher voltage pro models.
@@LetsDoThis321 excellent that you have both those other model... i only have 4-10 mins of wacking... basic around the house type of things.. so very little wacking.. so i am glad to have purchased this 40v greenworks system, i will get the 2.0 amphour battery with a blower as well.. 13 inch model wacker and blower , battery and charger for around 150 dollars shipped.. amazon sucked me in...
but my echo wacker 13 years plus finally won't start, don't know what is wrong, but if i get it repaired that is instantally 70 bucks for a repair cost .. so might as well go Greenworks at this point.
Nice, I love my GreenWorks blower, it's a different model 24v x2 so 48 volt using 2 batteries. Between blowing out the garage, driveway, sidewalks, back patio I find myself using it every other day for a few minutes. And I love not smelling like gas or fighting to start it like my old Echo gas blower. The only thing I'd change with mine is move to the single battery 40 volt.
Great thanks. I want pay this device
Can you put a brush cutter blade on this? I don't want to buy a separate attachment. Just want to put a brush cutter blade on it.
I'll have to give you two answers \_😉_/ Can you, should You?
Can you? Yes, you can take off the string head you will find it has a 1" arbor and you can reuse the reverse thread nut that goes in the string head, but you will need a large 1-1/4" heavy duty fender washer that goes on before the nut (because the nut is only about 5/8" diameter).
Should You? No, manual states to only use 080 nylon string and should only be operated with OEM parts. Greenworks does not have a brush cutter attachment option or blades but does have saw and hedger attachment options. Most probably will void any warranty with the unit, risk of overheating and burning out electric motor or damage to mechanical parts. Hand grip is a little puny for a brush cutter blade. I'm not sure how well the drive line can handle it, they do have a tiller attachment for it which seems it would be pretty tuff on the drive line..
Has it been done? Yes, I've read on forms people using brush cutter blades on Greenworks string trimmers, I have not myself, some complaints I read was the motor cutting out (overload/heat) but will continue going a few seconds later. I have this problem with the hedger attachment when I hit a tuff branch!
What string did you use?
.080" spiral twisted
uh......
why are you winding the cord in such a complicated manner?
did they really have such a terrible head on there?
the model I have has a standard trimmer head where you just take out the spool, wind some string up, put it back in and you're done, takes maybe 2 minutes
On this model you can real in the string as seen in the video and your right it does not work very well. You can also pop off the cap and manually wrap the spool which is what I've been doing instead now.
Received mine with no nuts and bolts to assemble
I've used Greenworks customer service on another product. Turned out to be worth my time reaching out to them.
Battery powered anything suck frankly finally battery op tools are dying off ... just more planned ob / arrested development ... of the "higher ups",
For homeowners they have a lot of benefits, seeing that the majority are doing much less work then a commercial business. I don't see how they would be even viable for the typical commercial landscaper.
I like being able to blow out my garage or patio without smelling like exhaust gas afterwards, same for blowing off offroad toys after washing them to dry them out a bit. I especially like the saws both polesaw and chainsaw for a home owner they will do more work then one man can clean up in one day and you won't have engine problems when you use them just a few times a year.
I still use gas weed wacker and big wheeled string trimmer for knocking down weeds all spring, battery power just doesn't make it in heavy tall large weeded areas, I've tried with the ego weed wacker using two 5amp hour and one 2.5 amp/hour 56 volt batteries, probably need a few 10amp/hour batteries but they cost 500 bucks a pop which is nuts. Plus electric weed whackers lack power.
@@LetsDoThis321 agree. for a tool that doesn't have to mix fuel, hand start, and weed wacking my needs are 4-8 run time mins.. so the battery power is the right application , but if you are a pro landscaper grass cutter for living/money, then you need pro tools...
