Our take on the Catgood 12 in. Cordless String Trimmer

The Catgood 12 in. Cordless String Trimmer is a 21-volt battery-powered weed trimmer with a 12-inch cutting swath and a 7 lb body. It is aimed at light trimming around a yard, fence lines and small lots rather than heavy brush. Its 12-inch cut and modest 21-volt power put it below 18- and 40-volt trimmers from Ryobi, EGO and Worx, which cut wider and run longer. Owners rate it 3.2 out of 5, so expect a mixed experience on battery life and build.
