WORX Cordless String Trimmer & Lawn Edger, 12" Electric Weed Wacker with Command Feed, 20V Weed Eater with 5.5 LBS, 2 Batteries & Charger Included, WG163

What It Is

This is the complete WORX WG163 cordless string trimmer and edger kit, including two 20V batteries, a charger, and the trimmer head with Command Feed auto-spooling. It is designed for light-to-medium yard maintenance on small to mid-sized lawns, edging along driveways, and trimming around flower beds or fences.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Model-Specific: This kit is the WORX WG163 model—batteries and charger are proprietary to WORX 20V Power Share tools. They will not fit other brands (e.g., Ryobi, DeWalt, Black+Decker).
• Battery Interchange: The included 20V batteries work with any WORX Power Share tool (leaf blowers, chainsaws, etc.), but verify the tool’s voltage rating (20V max, not 40V).
• No Deck Size Check Needed: This is a handheld string trimmer, not a ride-on or walk-behind mower part. Compatibility is purely about the WORX Power Share platform.
• OEM vs Aftermarket: These are genuine WORX batteries and charger. Aftermarket 20V batteries may fit but often lack the same capacity or safety circuitry; stick with OEM for reliable runtime and warranty coverage.

Key Things to Know

• Quality & Runtime: 4.4 stars from 27,806 reviews indicates strong reliability. Each 20V 2.0Ah battery provides about 15–20 minutes of continuous trimming; swapping batteries gives ~30–40 minutes total. For larger lawns (over ¼ acre), you may need extra batteries.
• Installation/Ease of Use: No assembly required beyond attaching the guard and spool—tool-free. Command Feed auto-advances line when you tap the head on the ground, but some users report occasional jamming if the line is loaded incorrectly.
• Common Gotcha: The 5.5 lb weight is light, but the single-line head cuts best with the included 0.080” line. Thicker or incompatible line can cause feed failures. Always use WORX-recommended line diameter.
• Edging Mode: The head rotates 90° for edging, but the pivot mechanism can loosen over time; check the locking collar before each use.

Should You Buy It

If you own other WORX 20V tools or want a lightweight, easy-to-use trimmer for small yards, this kit offers good value with two batteries and reliable performance. Skip it if you need heavy-duty cutting for thick weeds or large properties—consider a 40V or gas model instead.
