The Worx 20V cordless trimmer weighs 4.2 pounds with battery, cuts a 10-inch swath, and converts between trimmer and edger by rotating the head 180 degrees. It runs on the Worx PowerShare 20V battery platform, compatible with 75+ Worx tools.
The adjustable flower guard protects beds and yard features from accidental contact during trimming. This unit has a fixed shaft length and no adjustable auxiliary handle, so users on the shorter or taller end of the height range may need to experiment with stance to find a comfortable working position.

Light to Moderate Trimming on Smaller Properties Where Weight and Maneuverability Matter
At 4.2 pounds fully loaded, the Worx 20V is among the lighter options in its class and is a practical choice for users who find standard-weight gas or heavier cordless trimmers fatiguing to use over a full yard session.
The 10-inch cutting width is narrower than 12 or 15-inch trimmers, which means more passes on larger open areas but also more control around garden beds, lawn decorations, and tight obstacles. The adjustable flower guard is a useful feature for properties with ornamental beds and landscaping features you want to protect during trimming passes.
The PowerShare battery platform means any Worx 20V battery you own from a drill, blower, or other tool works directly in this trimmer, and the trimmer battery works in any other compatible Worx tool. If you already own Worx 20V tools with additional batteries, the effective runtime of this trimmer expands significantly without buying anything extra.
What to Expect from the Worx 20V 10-Inch Trimmer in Real Use
On properties up to about a half acre with standard grass, garden beds, sidewalks, and driveways, the trimmer handles general maintenance trimming well. Users have cut through overgrown ivy and moderately heavy grass without issue.
For edging, the rotating head conversion works, but the absence of a guide wheel means straight lines require a steady hand and deliberate walking pace. Users new to edging without a wheel guide report a learning curve before results look consistent.
A single 2.0Ah battery covers roughly half a typical half-acre yard before depleting, based on reported real-world use. Having a second battery on hand is the most commonly offered practical advice from users who do full-yard sessions in one go. Worx offers a "spools for life" program, though shipping costs apply. Replacement spool WA0010 is also available on Amazon and may be a more economical option.
The safety side button on the handle only needs to be pressed once to unlock the trigger and does not need to be held during continuous operation, which is a point of confusion for some first-time users.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the edger conversion work and does it include a guide wheel?
To switch from trimmer to edger, you pull the cutting head away from the shaft and rotate it 180 degrees so the cutting plane runs vertically for sidewalk and driveway edging. This model does not include a guide wheel.
Keeping a straight edge requires walking steadily and maintaining consistent lateral distance from the pavement edge. If a guide wheel is important to your edging workflow, Worx offers higher-tier models in the same battery platform that include that feature.
What replacement spool fits the Worx 20V 10-inch trimmer?
The compatible replacement spool is Worx part number WA0010. Pre-wound spools in this format are available through Amazon and other retailers and snap in without requiring you to thread line manually.
Worx also has a spools for life program through their website, though shipping fees apply to that option. When replacing the spool, make sure the line ends are seated in the retaining notches on the spool cap before closing it, as unseated line will prevent the auto-feed from functioning correctly.
Is the Worx 20V trimmer battery compatible with other Worx tools I already own?
Yes, provided your other Worx tools use the 20V PowerShare platform. The 20V MaxLithium battery included with this trimmer works in any of the 75+ tools in the Worx PowerShare 20V family, including blowers, drills, saws, and lawn mowers.
If you own other Worx 20V tools with extra batteries, those batteries run this trimmer directly. Note that Worx also makes tools on other voltage platforms such as 40V, and those batteries are not interchangeable with the 20V system.
