The Worx GT 3.0 20V Cordless String Trimmer and Edger is a two-in-one cordless trimmer that converts to an edger without tools, includes two 20V PowerShare batteries, and uses a command-feed line advancement system.
At 5.3 pounds, it is designed for residential yards where low weight and ease of use matter as much as raw power. The included charger is a standard-speed unit, and recharge time per battery runs several hours, so plan battery rotation accordingly for larger jobs.

When the Worx GT 3.0 Fits Your Yard Maintenance Routine
If you maintain a standard residential lot up to a quarter acre and want a single cordless tool that handles both trimming and sidewalk or driveway edging without switching equipment, the GT 3.0 covers that scope well on two batteries.
The 90-degree tilting head lets you reach under fences, along sloped surfaces, and into confined spots that a fixed-head trimmer cannot access cleanly. The Command Feed button advances line on demand rather than requiring you to tap the head on the ground, which reduces the stopping and restarting that bump-feed systems require.
The PowerShare battery platform means these batteries also work across any other Worx 20V or 40V tool you own or plan to buy. For large properties with heavy, dense weed growth across extended areas, a higher-voltage trimmer with a larger cutting swath will complete the work more efficiently.
What to Expect from the Worx GT 3.0 in Real Use
Two fully charged batteries are generally sufficient for trimming a well-maintained quarter-acre lot, including some edging along sidewalks and flowerbeds. One verified purchaser covered a full yard and two 1,500 square foot outbuildings on approximately ten minutes of use per battery. Under heavier conditions like tall or wet growth, the motor bogs slightly before recovering, which is expected at this power level.
The Command Feed system works reliably for most verified purchasers, advancing line at the push of a button without the frequent jams associated with bump-feed heads. String consumption is notably conservative compared to gas trimmers, with one verified purchaser reporting minimal line wear even along chain link fencing and curbs.
The edging conversion works without tools and the rubberized wheels guide the cut along pavement edges. Some purchasers find the guard's size makes precise edging placement harder to see, and the shaft height adjustment requires more force than expected, particularly for users with limited hand strength.
The battery releases from the charger with significant resistance, which multiple verified purchasers flag as a friction point, especially for users with limited grip strength. Standard charger recharge time runs several hours per battery. A faster Worx charger is available separately.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Worx Free Spools for Life program work?
Worx offers a replacement spool program where you contact them directly and pay a small shipping fee to receive replacement line spools. The program is designed to reduce ongoing consumable costs compared to buying spools at retail. Replacement 0.065-inch spools are also available on Amazon if you prefer to purchase them independently or wind your own line onto a compatible spool.
Can the Worx GT 3.0 batteries be used with other Worx tools?
Yes. The 20V PowerShare batteries included with this trimmer are compatible with all Worx tools in the 20V and 40V PowerShare lineup, including blowers, hedge trimmers, and other outdoor tools.
This means any additional Worx PowerShare tools you own or add later share the same battery pool, which reduces the number of separate batteries and chargers you need to maintain across your tool set.
How difficult is the trimmer-to-edger conversion, and what does it involve?
The conversion does not require tools. You rotate the trimmer head 90 degrees, attach the rubberized support wheels to the shaft, and reposition the guard. The head tilt adjustment can require meaningful force to move, which some users with limited grip strength or hand pain find difficult.
Once converted, the wheels roll along the pavement edge to guide the cut. The process takes under a minute once you are familiar with the steps, and watching a short video before the first attempt helps with positioning the components correctly.
