Overview

EGO is redefining the battery powered lawn care market. They have many other 56v products and all are pretty impressive. Let’s take a closer look at this weed eater.

Let’s first address the one issue that keeps popping up in reviews. Battery life. There are enough reviews out there that I feel the need to mention this, some people have problems with the battery failing right around the 1 year mark.

Other people tend to have some battery life issues from the start, IE the battery only lasts 10-15 minutes when it should last at least 27-30 minutes (official battery time.)

Warranty will generally replace the batteries if there is an issue but a lot of people note that is also a pain.

It’s important to keep in mind that these reviews are the minority and EGO is selling thousands and thousands of these weed eaters, so there are going to be issues no matter what.

Outside of that, the rest of the weed eater is quite nice.

The EGO 56v Weed Eater features a carbon fiber shaft which gives it a lot of strength but also anti-vibration features. It also makes this lawn trimmer lighter, to the tune of just under 12 pounds.

For the size of this weed eater (71.81″ long and 15″ cutting diameter) that is a pretty low weight. However if you feel it will still be too heavy you can always add a weed eater strap.

Probably the most well liked feature on this mower is the “PowerLoad” line loading feature. This trimmer uses 0.095″ trimmer line and all you have to do is feed it through the head, make sure it is equal length on both sides and push a button to wind it up. It saves one of the most time consuming issues for most people with weed eaters.

The EGO ST1521S lawn trimmer also features bump advance on the trimmer head to advance some more line out as you go by bumping the head on the ground.

A 5 year warranty also accompanies this EGO trimmer.

Final Thoughts

As long as you get a good battery with your trimmer, this is a very nice weed eater. Definitely not a cheap plastic toy.

The nice thing is the battery also interchanges with all of the other EGO battery operated 56v tools so you can add a blower or mower and tons more to your collection.

The Snap N' Go brand belongs to the SN series of electric trimmers manufactured by Weed Eater, the company founded by George Ballas, inventor of the string trimmer. Weed Eater is now part of the Husqvarna Group and no longer manufactures the SN series, but there are still quite a few of them around. If you have one that you use regularly, you'll have more than one opportunity to change the line. Because the Snap N' Go is an electric tool, it requires 0.065-inch string, which is lighter than you would use for a gas-powered trimmer.

1

Unplug the trimmer from the power source and lay the trimmer on a flat surface with the head facing you.

2

Remove the spool from the trimmer head by pulling on the tab with one hand while you lift off the spool with the other.

3

Pull out all the old string. This is a good time to clean the inside of the trimmer head and the empty spool with a rag to remove grass and other debris.

4

Cut a 30-foot length of 0.065-inch microfilament line from a roll, using a pair of scissors. Feed one end of the string into the hole in the hub of the spool and push it in about 1/2 inch.

5

Wind the string around the hub in the direction specified by the arrow on the base of the spool. Stop winding when about 5 inches are left and hook the free end of the string on one of the notches on the rim of the spool.

6

Feed the free end of the string through the hole in the trimmer head, insert the spool into the head while you pull on the string to keep it straight, and then snap the spool back into the head. Give the string an extra tug to free it from the notch on the spool; the line won't advance properly if you don't do this.

7

Pull the string out until it is fully extended and cut off any that reaches beyond the deflector.

Things You Will Need

• Rag
• 0.065-inch microfilament line
• Scissors

Tip

• Always wear goggles and protective clothing when using a trimmer to protect yourself from small rocks and other projectiles.

Warning

• Avoid using string with a diameter larger than 0.065 inches. It will stick in the spool as well as overwork the trimmer engine and damage the tool.
