Product Description

Toro 51487 Cordless 24-Volt Max* 12-Inch Trimmer/Edger

View larger
Toro's powerful 24-volt max* cordless trimmer/edger provides high-performing features that make yard work feel like a walk in the park. It delivers consistent power for larger jobs when you need extended run time, and its 12-inch cutting width gets the job done quickly. There's no gas or oil to maintain, and at 8 pounds, it weighs a lot less than a gas trimmer. Even more, the unit runs quietly, which both you and your neighbors will appreciate.
Better yet, with no extension cord to get in the way, you can easily maneuver the trimmer down the driveway, up the front walk, along the side of the house, next to the fence line, and anywhere else that needs to be quickly and neatly trimmed. The unit also converts to an edger in a matter of seconds--simply push the button, and voila. A smooth-rolling wheel guides the edger for precise results.

24-Volt Max* Lithium-Ion Battery
Lithium-ion design provides up to twice the power per weight versus traditional nickel-cadmium batteries. Longer run time with no memory effects and low self-discharge means the battery is ready when you are. The on-board LED charge meter displays the battery status.

Power Saver Adjustable Cut
This feature allows you to change the line length from 12 inches to 10 inches for better power efficiency.

Charging the Battery
Easily check the battery life with just a push of a button. The lights will light up showing the charge. If it needs charging, simply insert the battery into the charger. The light on the charger will turn green when the charge is complete.

Auto-Feed Trim Line

Extended Shaft Length
The durable aluminum shaft offers extended reach for getting in and around obstacles with less effort.
