WORX 20V Cordless String Trimmer WG176 — 15" Adjustable Cutting Width, Brushless Motor

The WORX WG176 is an ultra-light 20V cordless string trimmer with a brushless motor that delivers gas-like cutting performance in a 13"–15" adjustable cutting width.

This compact electric weed wacker combines a high-efficiency brushless motor, PowerShare battery compatibility, and an ergonomic, convertible design to make yard edges and overgrowth quick and comfortable to manage. It produces the torque and cutting ability comparable to a small gas trimmer while eliminating fumes, pull-starts, and extra maintenance. Built for homeowners with up to a quarter-acre, the WG176 balances runtime, power and convenience for everyday lawn care.

How powerful is the WG176 compared with gas trimmers?

The WG176’s brushless motor 2.0 is engineered to deliver the equivalent cutting performance of a 21cc gas trimmer while running quieter and cleaner. Brushless technology improves efficiency and reduces heat and wear so the motor lasts longer under regular use.

• 21cc gas-equivalent cutting power for thick grass and weeds
• Brushless motor for higher efficiency and extended motor life
• Variable speed control to match power to task

How long will the battery last and what battery does it use?

The WG176 uses WORX PowerShare 20V batteries; a 5.0 Ah pack offers extended runtime suitable for typical small-to-medium lawns. ECO mode and the adjustable 13" cutting width help conserve battery when maximum power isn’t necessary.

• Compatible with WORX 20V, 40V and 80V PowerShare batteries
• 5.0 Ah battery included for longer trimming sessions
• ECO and variable speed modes for runtime optimization

Can it handle different trimming jobs and how easy is it to use?

The WG176 converts quickly between trimmer and edger positions and offers an adjustable cutting diameter so you can favor runtime or faster coverage. Its ultra-lightweight, balanced build reduces fatigue and the quick-wind spool makes line changes fast and tool-free.

• Adjustable cutting width: choose 13" for longer runtime or 15" for faster trimming
• Converts to edger for precise border work
• Quick-wind spool system reloads line in seconds without tools

What maintenance and extras should I expect?

Electric operation removes common gas maintenance like fuel mixing, spark plugs, and carburetor adjustments. Periodic inspection of the spool, replacement line, and battery charging are the main upkeep tasks to keep the WG176 ready for regular use.

• No gasoline, oil changes, or pull-starts required
• Replace trimmer line and check spool occasionally
• Use higher-capacity PowerShare batteries for tougher jobs

Who is this for: The WORX WG176 is aimed at homeowners and small-property caretakers who want a lightweight, low-maintenance alternative to gas trimmers without sacrificing cutting power. It fits yards up to about 1/4 acre, gardeners who prefer cordless convenience, and anyone already invested in the WORX PowerShare battery ecosystem who wants one battery family to power multiple tools.
