Worx Grass Trimmer And Edger

The grass along your driveway never takes a day off. You cut the lawn, and within a week that scraggly strip is back, creeping over the concrete and making the whole yard look unkept. A dedicated trimmer solves that, but choosing one gets complicated fast. Corded or cordless? String or blade? Do you need an edger mode or is trimming enough?

WORX answers most of those questions with a few popular models. The brand’s 20V battery system covers lightweight cordless trimmers, while its corded 12-amp trencher takes a completely different approach to edging. What separates a good pick from a frustrating one comes down to three things: how easily the tool feeds line, how it handles the transition between trimming and edging, and whether the weight and balance suit your yard.

This roundup compares five WORX trimmers and edgers that fill very different roles. You’ll find a trimmer-and-blower bundle, a featherweight 2-in-1, a fully adjustable model, a no-nonsense corded trencher, and a 3-in-1 with a mini mower mode. Read through the trade-offs and you’ll know exactly which one fits your routine.

WORX WG928 Trimmer + Blower Kit

The WG928 is the bundle that makes the most sense for a full-yard cleanup. You get a 12-inch string trimmer that converts into an edger, plus a leaf blower that pushes 360 CFM at 75 mph. Two 20V batteries and a quick charger ride along in the box. For anyone who trim first and blows clippings off the driveway after, this kit covers both chores with one charging station.

The trimmer head pivots from trimming to edging position, so you get a third tool without storing a separate edger. The push-button Command Feed system is the standout feature here: press the button and fresh line feeds instantly, no bumping the head on pavement like older spools. Both tools stay light. The blower checks in at 4.4 pounds with the battery attached, and the trimmer runs 5.3 pounds. That makes a full afternoon of yard work much easier on your arms.

The honest catch: the blower is a blower, not a vacuum or mulcher. If you need to suck up debris, this won’t do it. And 75 mph is respectable but not hurricane-force, so wet, heavy leaves will test its limits. The trimmer and blower share batteries, which is great, but if you run both tools back to back you’ll want the second battery charged and ready.

• 12-inch cutting swath for faster trimming
• Blower produces 360 CFM at up to 75 mph
• Trimmer converts to edger with a head pivot
• Push-button Command Feed gives fresh line on demand
• Includes two batteries and a quick charger

Best for: Homeowners who want a trimmer and blower on one battery platform without buying two separate kits.

Worx 10-Inch 2-in-1 Trimmer

The WG154 is the lightweight option that disappears in your hands. At 4.2 pounds, it’s the lightest trimmer in this roundup, and that weight makes a real difference when you’re tracing a hundred feet of curb line. It’s built for small to medium yards where a 10-inch cutting width is enough and the job won’t tax the battery.

What stands out here is the auto-feed line system. You don’t press a button or bump the spool. The line advances itself when needed, so you can keep moving without fiddling. It also rotates 180 degrees to switch from trimmer to edger, and a narrower cut option stretches runtime when you don’t need the full width. The flower guard is a nice touch for anyone with garden beds, protecting plants while you work close to them.

No trimmer in this class is perfect. Auto-feed spools occasionally let out a little more line than you need, and when that happens you’ll stop to trim it. The 10-inch swath also means more passes on a larger lawn. And because it’s a single-tool package, you won’t have a blower handy unless you already own one. For tight yards and light-duty trimming, those trade-offs are easy to live with.

• 4.2 pounds, the lightest model here
• 10-inch cutting width with narrower option
• Auto-feed line advances without bumping
• Rotating head converts to edger in seconds
• Adjustable flower guard protects landscaping

Best for: Owners of small yards who want the lightest possible trimmer and don’t need extra tools.

WORX 12-Inch Adjustable 2-in-1

The WG163.9 solves a problem most trimmers ignore: they don’t fit everyone. This one has a telescopic shaft that adjusts to your height, plus an adjustable handle, so tall and short users can both find a comfortable stance. A 90-degree tilting head orients the cutting line toward slopes, under hedges, and along tricky terrain that flat trimmers can’t reach.

The Command Feed spool gives you push-button line advance, the same system the WG928 uses, and it keeps the string at peak length without tapping the head on sidewalks. The twin rubberized wheels are the clever part. When you flip the head into edging mode, those wheels guide the tool along the pavement, so the line stays at a consistent depth instead of bouncing around. That makes edging feel more like steering a cart than wrestling a wobbly stick.

The trade-off is bulk. The wheels and adjustment mechanisms add weight and a bit of awkwardness when you’re just trimming tight spots, and dialing in the telescopic shaft takes a minute of fiddling at first. You’ll also pay a small premium for the adjustability. But for anyone who has fought a trimmer that’s too short or too long, this one is worth the extra money.

• Telescopic shaft matches your height
• 90-degree tilting head for slopes and corners
• Command Feed push-button line advance
• Adjustable handle plus twin guide wheels
• 12-inch cutting width for decent coverage

Best for: Tall, short, and in-between users who want a trimmer that fits and a wheel-guided edging experience.

WORX 12-Amp Corded Edger

The WG896 is a completely different tool from the rest on this list. There’s no string involved. A 12-amp motor spins a 7.5-inch trencher blade at 4,700 RPM to carve a clean, defined edge along driveways, sidewalks, and garden borders. This is a professional-style edger that cuts a real trench into the soil, not just a surface trim.

Three depth adjustments let you cut at 1 inch, 1.25 inches, or 1.5 inches depending on how deep you want the line. A cutting line indicator helps you stay straight, and the adjustable shaft with a D-grip handle works for users of different heights. The payoff is visible immediately: crisp, consistent edges that make the whole yard look intentional. This is the tool lawn-care guys use, minus the gas engine.

Here’s the thing you need to know before buying: it’s corded, and it only edges. You’ll need a trimmer for the general weed-whacking, and you’ll need an extension cord rated for outdoor use. The blade also requires more care than string, including checking for buried sprinkler heads and landscape wiring. The power is genuine, but so is the responsibility.

• 12-amp motor spins a 7.5-inch blade at 4,700 RPM
• Three depth settings: 1, 1.25, and 1.5 inches
• Cutting line indicator keeps edges straight
• Adjustable shaft with D-grip handle
• Corded design means no battery charging

Best for: Homeowners who want true trencher-quality edges and don’t mind being tethered to an outlet.

WORX 3-in-1 Mini Mower Trimmer

The WG170 tries to be three tools at once, and it mostly pulls it off. It converts from a string trimmer into an edger, and then into a nimble mini mower with a set of support wheels. That third mode is the reason to pick this one. It’s perfect for shaping up small lawns, trimming under low branches, or tidying spots where your full-size mower can’t reach.

This model runs a motor at 7,600 RPM, which gives it serious cutting power for a 20V tool. The trimmer also sits a full foot longer than the previous version, which means less stooping for taller users. Seven handle adjustments and six rotating head settings let you dial in a comfortable position for almost any job. The Command Feed button feeds line on demand, and the package includes two batteries, three trimmer spools, a charger, support wheels, a safety guard, a flower guard, and a spool holder.

The catch is complexity. With three modes and multiple adjustments, there’s more to learn and more ways to set things up wrong. Charging time is around 5 hours, so you’ll want to plan ahead rather than relying on a quick top-up. And the mini mower mode is a convenience feature, not a replacement for your real mower. If you just want a simple trimmer, this one has more moving parts than you need. But for detailed yard work, those options earn their keep.

• 3-in-1 design: trimmer, edger, and mini mower
• Motor spins at 7,600 RPM for strong cutting
• 7 handle positions and 6 rotating head settings
• Includes two batteries, charger, and three spools
• Support wheels enable the mini mower mode

Best for: Detail-oriented workers who want one battery tool that trims, edges, and manicures small lawn areas.

How We Chose These Products

I started with how real homeowners actually use these tools, not with spec sheets. A trimmer gets used in tight corners, along fences, and around flower beds, so I put weight on weight, balance, and how easily the head converts to edging mode. Models that force you to fight with line feed or awkward angles dropped in the rankings.

I also looked at the spread of use cases. The list needed a lightweight option for small yards, an adjustable option for different body types, a corded option for people who want pro-grade trenches, and a bundle for those who want one battery system across multiple tools. Each pick earned its place for a specific buyer. The WG928 landed at the top because it covers more ground, literally and figuratively, than the others.

Buying Guide: What Really Matters

Power source is the first fork in the road. Battery trimmers are quiet, portable, and start instantly, but runtime depends on the battery and the grass thickness. Corded models like the WG896 never run out of juice, but you’ll drag an extension cord everywhere. If your yard is under a quarter acre, a 20V battery trimmer is usually enough. Bigger properties should think about spare batteries or a corded option.

Line feed matters more than most buyers expect. Bump-feed spools, auto-feed spools, and push-button Command Feed systems all approach the same problem differently. Push-button feeds give you control without stopping, which is why I prefer them on the heftier models. Auto-feed is fine for light duty. Whatever you choose, a spool that constantly jams or overfeeds will ruin an otherwise good trimmer.

Finally, think about what else you already own. WORX 20V batteries work across the brand’s whole ecosystem, so a trimmer fits neatly into an existing collection. If you’re starting from scratch, a bundle like the WG928 gets you two batteries and two tools from the start. If you already have a blower and a mower, a single 2-in-1 like the WG154 is the leaner choice.

Our Top Recommendation

The WORX WG928 is the pick I’d hand to most homeowners. It pairs a 12-inch trimmer with a 360 CFM blower, shares two batteries between them, and throws in a quick charger. You finish trimming, pivot the head for edging, then use the blower to clear the clippings off the driveway. That flow matches how yard work actually happens, and the whole kit stays light enough to use without fatigue.
