Clean edges reduce snagging and risk for cuts

Corrosion-proof housing

Easy to change spark plug is protected from grass and dirt

Primer system protects against flooding

See-through fuel tank

Throttle lockout prevents you from activating the throttle accidentally

The Eight-Inch Toro Cordless Trimmer Model

Backed by a two-year warranty, the Toro Cordless Trimmer is a great choice for casual use. If you have a smaller yard or simply weed whack once a month, Toro cordless trimmers get the job done!

The cordless seven-inch garden trimmer is best suited for very small yards. It trims an eight-inch swath of grass, so it works most effectively when you have limited lawn and garden space. If you want a larger trimming dimension, look at gas or plug-in versions instead.

The eight-inch Toro Cordless Trimmer offer a 12-volt motor. Each model weighs a little more than six pounds, making it simple to handle for extended lawn work sessions. Other important features include bump-feed of your grass trimmer line and an ergonomic handle.

When you're done with your trimmer, plug the battery charger into the wall and connect it to your trimmer. The first time the battery is charged, it will take 24 hours. After that, charging times will vary depending on the amount of battery remaining. Once the light turns from red to green, the battery is fully charged.
