EGO Line IQ Adds Automatic Line Feeding to Drive String Trimmer Innovation Forward
EGO makes some of the best battery-powered string trimmers for homeowners thanks to their solid performance and low vibration. The line also has some of the top innovations and we’re seeing that again in the EGO Line IQ battery-powered string trimmer.
EGO Line IQ String Trimmer | The Big Deal
Without a doubt, the biggest talking point is EGO’s latest innovation—Line IQ. In the simplest terms, it automatically feeds the line to keep your cutting swath at 16 inches without needing to bump the head as you go.
EGO also includes their PowerLoad design. To load it, simply pull your new line through the head to the middle of its length, push the PowerLoad button, and the motor automatically winds it in.
Between those two technologies, working and line changes have never been easier.
The deal gets even sweeter with a telescoping carbon fiber shaft. It’s more than strong enough for the job, reduces the overall weight of the trimmer, and gives you some length adjustment to dial in the right fit for you.
Additional Features
- Lifetime shaft warranty
- Brushless motor performance and runtime (up to 60 minutes with a 4.0Ah battery)
- 0.095-inch line
- Variable speed trigger
- Weather-resistant construction
- Compatible with all EGO 56V batteries
