Best 2-in-1 Tool
WORX 20V 12" 2-in-1 Cordless String Trimmer & Electric Lawn Edger, WG163
Our verdict: A 20V, 12 inch cordless tool that works as both a string trimmer and a lawn edger.
The WORX WG163 is a 20V cordless tool with a 12 inch cutting swath that switches between string trimmer and lawn edger modes, and costs between $100 and $200. It is the most established name in this group.
The 2-in-1 design is a practical answer for small yards: one tool trims the fence line and edges the walk, and the WORX battery system is shared across many tools. It wins because it does both jobs competently and comes from a brand with good parts availability. As an edger it is a string-based tool in edge mode, so the cut is cleaner than from a trimmer on its side but not as deep as a blade.
Buy it if you want one tool for trimming and light edging. Skip it if you want a deep, blade-cut trench.
