American Gardener YardStick YS24 cordless string trimmer

Date Published: 6/28/05

The American Gardener YardStick YS24 is an efficient choice for a fairly powerful, heavy-duty, and flexible backyard string trimmer--and it's cordless, to boot.

With its 10-inch cutting path, it does a nice job of both trimming and edging, and provides the added benefit of not having to deal with gas and oil or extension cords.

Switching between trimming and edging functions is as easy as spinning the head. It's a bump-and-feed tool, so all you have to do to release more string is tap it gently on the grass. Once it runs out, installing more of the commercial-grade line isn't too difficult, or you can simply buy a pre-wound replacement spool. Well balanced and nicely designed, the yellow-and-gray YardStick YS24 comes with a wall-mounted charger.

At 10.5 pounds, the YardStick YS24 is not the lightest cordless trimmer on the market, but the rechargeable 24-volt battery runs the tool for up to 45 minutes on a single charge.
