The Greenworks ST24B is a cordless line trimmer which can be powered by any Greenworks 24v lithium ion battery. This means it shares battery compatibility with other tools in the Greenworks 24v cordless system, and can be used conveniently in a wide variety of locations, without need for power sockets or fuel. The ST24B can be used comfortably by a range of different people as it has a telescopic shaft which can be easily adjusted to suit the individual operator. Further enhancing the ease of use is an automatic line feed system which keeps the line replenished as needed and cuts down on interruptions due to line breakages. The plant protector guard at the front of the tool allows it to be used close to nearby plants, trees and sensitive surfaces since it keeps them away from the immediate work area and prevents accidental damage. For excellent power and runtime, the ST24B has a brushless motor which is also lighter and smaller than most conventional brushed alternatives.
