I tested the all-new ENHULK 58V String Trimmer this weekend. I loved it. From its smooth and lightweight carbon fiber shaft to the raw power and versatility, I can now say that I am an ENHULK fanboy.
I tested out the 58V ENHULK leaf blower last year with low expectations. It came in the mail from a brand I had never heard of before. But after I assembled it and cranked it all the way up, my mind was blown. I had historically thought the EGO 56V leaf blower was the most powerful on the market, but the ENHULK is noticeably more powerful.
The story is the same with the string trimmer. You can grab yours on Amazon here for a great price.
Unpacking the trimmer
The string trimmer came in a slick box. Assembly was a breeze – I simply opened up the box and straightened out the shaft. It assembles easily where you can just straighten it, tighten a bolt, and you’re good to go. The last few pieces of assembly came with the addition of the handle – something that required no tools – and the guard. The guard is straightforward assembly with a quick screw and Allen wrench.
Popping the battery in is also like any other battery-powered tool. Simply slide it in the back. Mine came fully charged and ready-to-go with a nice charger handy.
First impressions
After having extensive, almost daily experience with the ENHULK 58V blower, I was excited to get my hands on the string trimmer. Something that struck me almost immediately was how lighweight the trimmer was – even with the battery. I suspect the carbon fiber shaft makes it way lighter than others. My Ryobi string trimmer that I’ve had for about 7 years feels nearly twice as heavy and unbalanced as the ENHULK.
This trimmer is powerful
Holy cow. I fired this up quickly after getting out of the box and it was dang powerful. It comes with a few different speed levels: eco, high, and turbo. I put it on turbo to do some trimming around a sign in my front yard and it was overkill. I put it on low and did some surgical-precision edging around my yard and found that to be the perfect speed. I didn’t try it on super thick brush yet, but think the turbo mode will be more than enough to crush the kudzu growing on the other side of my backyard.
The battery lasts quite a while
I’ve used the ENHULK 58V trimmer a few times now around my front and backyards and put it through the ringer. Combined, I’ve spent nearly an hour using the string trimmer. Right now, it still has ¼ battery left on a 2.5 Ah battery.
Both 2.5Ah and 5.0Ah ENHULK batteries can be used across their range, including chainsaws, blowers, and trimmers. After using the string trimmer, you can switch to the leaf blower to clear the trimmed grass, making cleanup easier and saving time.
The beautiful thing about this battery is that it doesn’t just work on the string trimmer. The 5.0 Ah battery that comes with the blower can also work on this trimmer, just like the 2.5 Ah battery can work on the blower. The 5.0 Ah battery is a bit heavier and can throw off the balance, so I use it for backup just in case the trimmer runs out of battery and I need to do more trimming.
The downside
This ENHULK string trimmer is almost perfect. The stock weed eater string that came with it was straight up weak. It is a .095” twisted, thin red line that was hard to see and didn’t last very long. I found myself chewing through it relatively quickly.
Fortunately, this is a super easy and cost-effective fix. You can simply go buy a new, tough weed eater string like the GrassKicker weed eater string. I did this with mine and it turned it into a next-level beast.
The bottom line
The ENHULK 58V string trimmer is an absolute beast – probably my favorite string trimmer that I’ve ever used. This will be my go-to string trimmer for the foreseeable future. After the quick swap out of the weed eater string, this became the most powerful weed eater on the market.
