CHARLOTTE –Greenworks Commercial was awarded the “Best Cordless String Trimmer” award from Popular Mechanics magazine for its GT 161 Attachment Capable String Trimmer. The GT 161 allows landscape professionals to have one tool that can take on a plethora of jobs with its universal attachment capable base. Transforming the tool with commercial grade attachments – whether it is used as a string trimmer, hedge trimmer, pole saw, edger or even a cultivator – allows professionals to save time and energy in the way they work. Plus, with a 16” cutting path, the GT 161 cuts through even the toughest of brush.
“Its explosive power gives it the muscle of a gas-engine machine for mowing down the tall stuff and scything through weeds and saplings,” said Roy Berendsohn, senior home editor of Popular Mechanics. “If your trimming requirements are on the heavy end of the spectrum, then a model like the GT 161 could be ideal.”

- Versatility – Designed to tackle a wide array of jobs, the GT161 provides the ability to take-on multiple tasks with the simple switch of a base attachment.
- 82-Volts of Harnessed Power – Powered by Greenworks’ 82V lithium-ion battery, the GT161 delivers power comparable to gas tools.
