There’s no standard strap point to clip it in. Though it’s not included, you can pick it up separately. As you can imagine, defeating reverse for the pole saw and edger would require a lot more development. There is no “Eco” mode to conserve battery or a Reverse to switch the direction of the head. Aside from that control, the variable trigger takes care of the rest. The brushless motor has a high and low “gear” that is set by the top-mounted button on the EGO 56V Power Head. I stand my trimmers upright more often than not. Recognizing this common occurrence, the placement of these small rubber pads is fortuitous and keeps your tool from sliding on an oily or uneven flooring surface. Two rubber bumpers located on the rear of the tool provide some protection and grip. I’m very glad EGO kept this functionality across its entire line. When grasping batteries-especially large ones, it’s much easier to have a spring-loaded eject button on the tool that releases it into your hand. One, EGO continues to use a battery release button that is on the tool, not the battery. It performs with enough speed and torque to cut, trim, or otherwise bite through anything the attachments come up against.Ī couple of aesthetic things on the EGO multi-head attachment system bear mentioning. Fortunately, EGO seems to have done a bang-up job of engineering the driving force of their multi-head system. Without a solid power train here, your edger, trimmer, tiller, or pole saw attachments won’t do much good. The EGO 56V Power Head (PH1400) is the engine behind any of the tools you’ll attach to it. To cover all that this product does, I’ll start with the actual EGO power head and then move through all of the attachments we reviewed. Of course, if you already have an EGO string trimmer, then you would presumably get into this system for the pole saw, articulating hedge trimmer, tiller, or edger.

That lets you only buy what you need, giving you a pretty robust battery-powered system without having to buy full tools for each function. Since the tool now uses a spinning shaft, it also allows for the use of the aforementioned attachments.

You’re not sending all that battery power down a wiring harness to the head. Moving the motor to the back-near the battery-gives it a bit more efficiency. The big deal with the EGO Multi-Head attachment system is flexibility-but also power. Currently, the price for additional attachments ranges from $120 to $180 each. It moves that motor to the rear of the tool, however, to let you swap out the attachments. The EGO 56V Power Head which drives everything continues to use a brushless motor. Of all the battery-powered outdoor power equipment I’ve reviewed, the string trimmer is my go-to for introducing landscapers to the technology.
