Ego string trimmer

May 6, 2021 7:37 AM

Will somebody please help me identify the Ego string trimmer item I want before I lose my mind. I already own the blower and battery and charger. I now want the telescoping string trimmer. I believe (but maybe I'm wrong?) it should be possible to buy the trimmer without the battery but all I'm seeing are ones with the battery. Or maybe all of the hedge trimmer/string trimmer/edger/pole saw type things are their own ecosystem and I do have to buy the battery? But you can buy the hedge trimmer without a battery! So confused.

They're also generally available at Ace Hardware if you prefer a smaller company.

This also seems to verify that the ST1510T that I linked is the same as the ST1511T that you linked, except without the battery (scroll down to "Configurations")

FWIW the last digit of the model number indicates which battery/charger combo it comes with. I remember seeing 0, 1, 2, and 4 on the string trimmers, and I’m sure the other things like mowers have other configurations.
