"A wothwhile add to the tool shed"
Looking for a portable and powerful trimmer for the yard. Got tired of dragging out the extension cords so I read up on this and could not find a reason to not get it. It works wonderful in trimming and edging thanks to the power of the 24V motor and the HEAVY line that it uses. It is a good match for my old 3/4HP electric trimmer. The only trouble I have had is the guard comes off when trimming under bushes and shrubs.

"tom taylor"

"The item after second time using "
I just bought this on July and have just used twice and the battery died .
It does not take recharge at all ( the LED keeps green all the time )



"Happy with my YardStick!"
I am extremely happy with the purchase of the American Gardener YardStick 10-Inch 24-Volt Cordless Trimmer! It was delivered promptly and I began using it the next day. Being able to trim and edge all around our yard without the hassle of a cord has made me a very happy wife! I love working in our yard and this handy trimmer/edger has proven to be one of the best yard tools my husband has purchased for me. I highly recommend it!American Gardener YardStick 10-Inch 24-Volt Cordless Electric Edger and Trimmer #YS24

"I love this trimmer!"
I have used a battery trimmer in the past, but most recently a gas powered. When it refused to start anymore, I looked for another battery unit. I am so glad I found this one. I couldn't be happier unless someone invents a bump-feed that actually works flawlessly. Other than that it has great power for grass, and the swivel feature makes edging so easy.

What our customer's say!

"Best Garden Tool I've Ever Purchased - REALLY!", True story, I had a Troy-Bilt four-stroke weedeater from one of the home improvement stores that cost around $200 that was impossible to start.

I hated it. Once it was going, it was difficult to manage and would often "grab" the ground and dig into the grass and was generally frustrating to use. I hated dealing with the spool too.

A few weeks ago I went to do some trimming and tried to start the weedeater. I grew tired pulling the starter cord several dozen times and sat down on my steps to continue trying to start the weedeater.

As I pulled back with all my might, I forgot about the cast iron railing on the side of my steps and clobbered my hand. I instantly had a golf-ball sized lump on the back of my hand and I saw red. I picked the weedeater up over my head and smashed it repeatedly onto the ground, destroying it.

I should have done it a long time ago.

I told a friend about it and he said, "You know what I did that has been the best thing ever when it comes to weedeaters? I bought a battery powered weedeater."

Hmm, I don't like electric when internal combustion is an option. But I trust this friend and I decided that I was fed up with gas powered weedeaters - so I gave it a shot.

Enter the American Gardner 24 Volt Cordless Trimmer.

Best thing I've ever done when it comes to garden tools.

I even paid too much (when I came back to write this review the price has dropped $30!!!) and it arrived a little beat up by the UPS guy.

But BOY DOES IT WORK.

It has exactly the right amount of torque so I can control it easily and it cuts the grass, but does not dig into the grass or pull itself into the turf. It requires NO PULLING OF ANY CORDS to start. It just comes on when you press the button.

The spool works excellent and is easy to use. I found it wasn't chewing up the wire as often as my gas powered trimmers tend to use up the line also.

It is just ideal for around the house grass trimming.

Now I will say that it does not have the power for serious weeds with wood-like trunks. But for GRASS TRIMMING this is ideal.

I also tried to run the battery down the first time as this seems to be recommended for maximum battery life, but I gave up after 30+ minutes of continuous use. It was still running strong.

In short, this is REALLY worth getting if you have a basic house with grass trimming that needs to be done. For the price it is a STEAL right now, and it is well worth even the nearly $100 I originally paid.



"happy user", I've been using this trimmer for almost 20 years. Sears used to sell it. I was delighted to find another vendor when Sears let it go. I absolutely love it. It changes from horizontal to vertical (edging) operation with a flip of the wrist. Ideal for keeping a city lawn looking neat.

"Fits the bill", After one season's use, I'm happy with the Yardstick. I'll admit that it's a little heavy, but my yard is small enough that it doesn't matter. It works equally well as an edger or a trimmer. The radius is plenty wide, too, and the line feed is simple. No complaints.

"Best trimmer I've had", This is a nice trimmer! The only problems we've had are that it is kinda heavy and the connectors from the battery have come loose. This is an easy fix; remove the housing and simply reconnect. It is kind of a pain though if you are in the middle of the yard! The edger function works well and leaves a nice clean edge. It is highly recommended!

"great tool", This is the second one of these I have purchased. The battery gave out on the first one after about 5 years. It's a great tool. Lightweight, and the charge lasts plenty long for my purposes. I love it.

Read this reviews before You buy...

"Support Stinks", Customer Service is terrible, no help at all. They clearly do not stand behind their products. Needed parts and they were unable to help me.

"Yardstick review", The item I received was in excellent working order. I had one of these when it was a Sears WeedWacker and they stopped making it. I am so glad that American Gardener provides it.

"Excellent Trimmer For the Cost and Convenience", I had a small gas trimmer which I used up until losing it in a flood. Before then, it was hard to start, unwieldy and belched smoke. Needing a replacement, I opted for the cordless trimmer, expecting to compromise the convenience of no gas/electric cord for power and length of running time.

It turns out there was no compromise. I have about 3/4 acre of yard to care for and this trimmer lasts for all my trimming needs for the whole area on one charge.

It is extremely convenient to change between trimmer and edger, thus negtating my replacing the edger which was also lost in the flood. It does a good job of both for medium to light work trimming. It is lightweight, has a nice balance to it and is very safe to operate, with the double safety of on switch and power trigger, with a safety release that is set when you release the power trigger.

The 24 volt battery is a plus for keeping it running longer on one charge. Plug it into the wall mounted battery charger and forget it until you need it, then it will work for you for about an hour's worth of medium to light level trimming and edging. The AC adapter has a light that changes to red when it is charging, and changes to green when it is fully charged, which is helpful.

This trimmer got better reviews than Black and Decker models, so I tried it and am very happy with the performance and ease of use. It cost less than other brands of cordless trimmers with less battery power and less handy features.

Overall, I would highly recommend this trimmer and and very happy with my purchase.

"Work, but heavy", It weighs more than a bowling ball, but, It's easier to use than mixing gas and oil and repeated pulling just to get started. I miss the power of a gas edger.

"Excellent line trimmer for women and first time users!", I love it! It arrived a few weeks ago, and it was easy to put together, charge, and use. I have never before used a line trimmer, but this was a very positive experience for me. The weight is not too bad and the batterly lasts longer than I needed it to. I have used it three times and am very happy with my purchase. It cuts through everything I need it too, including some heavy weeds and even accidently took down one of my giant sunflowers! I think it's a great tool, especially for women and first time users.
