Worx 20V PowerShare String Trimmer vs BLACK+DECKER LST522 20V String Trimmer

The Worx GT Revolution is the more versatile tool: it converts to a wheeled edger and a mini-mower without tools, has a telescoping shaft and rotating head for tall or short users, and ships with two batteries. The BLACK+DECKER LST522 is lighter and simpler, with a two-speed switch and a bigger single battery, but it only trims and edges. Owners rate the Worx higher overall. Buy the Worx if you want one tool for trimming, edging and light mowing; buy the BLACK+DECKER if you want a light, basic trimmer that edges.

  • Choose the Worx GT Revolution if you want a trimmer that also edges on wheels and mows light grass, with two batteries and a shaft that adjusts to your height.
  • Choose the BLACK+DECKER LST522 if you want a light, straightforward trimmer with a two-speed switch and a larger single battery.

BLACK+DECKER LST522 20V String Trimmer

Questions and answers

Which is better for edging along a driveway?
Both convert to a wheeled edger. The Worx switches by hand with no tools and has a rotating head, which makes the change quicker. The BLACK+DECKER edges well but takes more fiddling to set up.
Which lasts longer on one charge?
The BLACK+DECKER has a 2.5 Ah battery and a low speed setting, so it runs longer per charge. The Worx ships with two 2.0 Ah batteries, so total run time across both packs is comparable.
Is the Worx worth stepping up to?
Yes if you also edge and mow light grass, or if you share the tool with people of different heights. If you only trim, the BLACK+DECKER is lighter and simpler.
Which is easier for a shorter or taller person to use?
The Worx. Its shaft telescopes and the head rotates, so it fits a wide range of users. The BLACK+DECKER adjusts height and handle but has a fixed shaft.
Do both use the same line size?
The Worx uses 0.065 in line. The BLACK+DECKER uses its own automatic feed spools. Check the spool type before buying refills.
Which is better for thick weeds?
The BLACK+DECKER's high speed setting helps in tough overgrowth. The Worx cuts cleanly at 7,600 rpm but has only one speed, so heavy brush is slower work.
