WORX 20V Cordless String Trimmer 15" WG176.9 — 13–15" Adjustable Cut, Brushless Motor

The WORX 20V 15" Cordless String Trimmer (WG176.9) is an ultra-light brushless weed wacker that delivers 21 cc gas-equivalent power with a 13"–15" adjustable cutting width for efficient trimming on yards up to a quarter acre.

Designed to blend lightweight comfort with strong cutting performance, this WORX electric trimmer uses the brand's Brushless Motor 2.0 and a 5.0 Ah PowerShare battery to give long runtimes without the noise, fumes, or maintenance of gas units. The cutting width expands from 13" to 15" so you can trade off longer battery life or faster coverage depending on the job. A quick-wind head simplifies line reloading, and the ergonomic balance helps reduce fatigue during extended use.

How powerful is the WORX WG176.9 compared with gas trimmers?

The WG176.9 produces performance comparable to a small two-stroke gas trimmer (about 21 cc equivalent) thanks to the efficient Brushless Motor 2.0. That means it can handle thick grass and common yard weeds while running quieter and cleaner than gas models.

• Brushless Motor 2.0 for higher efficiency and longer runtime
• 21 cc gas-equivalent cutting power for typical residential tasks
• Less vibration and noise than comparable gas trimmers

What runtime and battery options are available with PowerShare?

The trimmer ships with a 5.0 Ah PowerShare battery for extended runtime on a single charge, and the variable-speed trigger plus ECO mode helps stretch battery life. WORX PowerShare batteries are interchangeable across 20V, 40V, and 80V tools, letting you reuse batteries and chargers within the ecosystem.

• Included 5.0 Ah PowerShare battery for longer single-charge runtime
• Variable speed and ECO mode for runtime management
• Cross-compatible with other WORX PowerShare 20V/40V/80V tools

How does the adjustable 13"–15" cutting width affect performance?

You can set the cutting swath to 13" to conserve battery and extend runtime, or expand to 15" when you want to cover more ground quickly. The adjustable width provides a simple way to balance efficiency and battery use depending on lawn conditions.

• 13" setting reduces power draw for longer work sessions
• 15" setting increases cutting efficiency for faster completion
• Tool adapts to trim tight edges or open turf areas

What convenience and maintenance features does it include?

The WG176.9 focuses on ease of use with a quick-wind head that makes line changes fast and frustration-free, plus an ultra-light, balanced design that reduces user fatigue. Minimal upkeep is required compared with gas models—no fuel mixing, spark plugs, or seasonal winterization.

• Quick-wind spool for fast line reloads
• Ultra-lightweight, balanced shaft for comfortable handling
• Brushless motor reduces wear and extends motor life

Who is this for: The WORX 20V WG176.9 is ideal for homeowners with small to medium yards (up to about 1/4 acre) who want near-gas power in a cleaner, quieter electric package. Choose this trimmer if you value low maintenance, battery commonality across tools, and an adjustable cutting width to tune runtime versus coverage. It’s especially useful for gardeners who need a lightweight, easy-to-handle trimmer for edging, trimming around landscaping, and day-to-day yard care.
