Sun Joe 24V-ST14 Cordless String Trimmer being tested in writer's home. I’ll admit it – I am a sucker for yard work. My wife makes fun of me when I complain about having to go out and mow the lawn.

A reliable string trimmer enables you to easily cut grass along fences, around tree trunks and bushes, and near flowers and edible plants as well as tackle weeds, brambles, and other unwanted growth.

Everyone knows that a good mower is the centerpiece of any lawn care toolkit, but you won’t keep your yard looking crisp throughout growing season without a quality string trimmer to go with it.
