The Gtech ST20 battery takes up to four and a half hours to recharge. The battery charger is simply a plug and a wire – like a mobile phone charger. You simply slide it into position on the end of the handle. It weighs only 400 grams, but still has a life of half an hour. Gtech ST20 Cordless Grass Trimmer – charging and run-time There are also cheaper generic blades available.)

You don’t use a strimmer cord in the Gtech ST20, just a single replaceable easy-fit plastic blade, which is easily fixed in place in seconds even while wearing thick gloves. The Gtech ST20 is not variable speed it has one speed only. You push this left or right, so the Gtech ST20 can suit left- or right-handed users, and then press the trigger under the handle. There is a green safety button on the side of the main hand-grip. It would, for example, be easy to trim hanging baskets or widow boxes. This means that you can cut in any position, from over your head to under your feet. You don’t have to press a button, you just rotate it. The cutting head on the Gtech ST20 can be rotated 180 degrees by twisting it. This adaptability gives you much greater control across a wide range of different tasks. If you are cutting on the ground, for instance, it would feel more natural to have the handle back towards you, but if you were cutting on a bank the work would be easier and more comfortable if the handle was facing forward. This means you can alter the machine for any position or any height of user. You simply press the button and adjust it through 180 degrees: from lying parallel to the shaft and facing the cutting head, to lying parallel to the shaft and facing the battery.

Because it is so light it doesn’t need to be adjusted for weight for different users. The Gtech ST20 is not adjustable for length. I simply clipped on the cutter head guard, inserted the shaft into the cutter head body, attached a replaceable plastic blade, inserted the battery, and it was ready to go. The Gtech ST20 arrived needing to be clipped together.
