Now that you’re likely getting outside and working on the yard, you might have realized it’s time to finally replace that aging gas-powered or plug-in string trimmer. While the plug-in string trimmer is a great option for lower-cost setups, gas-powered models aren’t good for the environment at all due to burning gas and oil. Today, Kobalt’s 40V string trimmer is battery-powered, cord-free, and uses no gas or oil for $99 or less at Lowe’s.
