Cordless Grass Trimmers and Edgers for Home Gardens

Gtech cordless lawn edger and grass trimmer in one tool are  battery-powered garden tools designed to cut and shape grass in areas a lawn mower can't reach. Whether you need a cordless lawn edger for clean, defined borders or a grass trimmer for tight spots around fences, trees, and garden features, our rechargeable tools give you the freedom to move around without cables or no gas fumes.

The GT50 grass trimmer and edger combines both functions in one tool — ideal for small to medium home gardens where precision matters. Powered by Gtech's rechargeable battery system, it's light enough to use for extended sessions without fatigue. "Designed by Gtech founder Nick Grey, an engineer who believed a well-made garden tool shouldn't require a shed full of equipment". If you're looking for a cordless edger that handles both functions without the bulk of dedicated gas equipment, this is it.

Gtech Grass Trimmer & Edger

Trimming and Edging: Two Jobs, One Tool

Nick Grey built Gtech on one idea: everyday tools should be simpler, not more complicated. The GT50 is that idea applied to the garden. One cordless lawn edger and grass trimmer in a single tool — light enough that you'll actually use it, simple enough that you won't dread getting it out.

Trimming and Edging for a Neater Lawn Finish

A grass trimmer is typically used to cut overgrown grass along edges and in tight spaces that are difficult to access with a mower. An edger helps create clean, defined lawn edges along paths, driveways, and borders.

Using a GT50 alongside a lawn mower helps achieve a more complete and tidy lawn finish by addressing areas that mowing alone cannot maintain.Unlike petrol grass strimmers, our electric trimmer is battery-powered and cordless (of course). Weighing just 1.85kg, you can move freely and easily throughout your garden, unrestricted by wires and plug sockets.

Battery Operated Power for Flexible Garden Maintenance

Battery-powered grass trimmers remove the need for extension cables or fuel, making them easier to start and quicker to use for short trimming jobs. Rechargeable batteries also make it easier to move between different areas of the garden without interruption.

For routine lawn edging and grass trimming, cordless tools provide a practical balance of control, convenience, and ease of storage.


Cordless Grass Trimmers and Edgers for Lawns and Yards

Cordless grass trimmers and edgers are well suited to small and medium-sized yards where regular maintenance is required. Their lightweight design and straightforward operation make them accessible for a wide range of users, including those looking for an easy-to-use tool for routine garden care.

They are designed for regular trimming and edging tasks rather than continuous heavy-duty cutting. Read more about the GT50 cordless edge Trimmer on our blog.

What Makes the Gtech GT50 Different

A proper lawn edger needs to do two jobs well, not one job adequately. The GT50 is built around that idea:

●   A swivel head that converts between trimming and edging in seconds — no separate tool needed

● 30 minutes of runtime per charge — enough for a full pass around most home gardens

● A lightweight, 1.85kg (4.1 lb) body that stays comfortable through the whole job

● The same battery platform as the HT50 long reach hedge trimmer — one battery, every tool

What Is a Cordless Edger and What Should You Look For?

A cordless edger is a battery-powered garden tool built to create clean, defined lines along paths, driveways, and lawn borders — the finishing work a mower can't do. A good cordless lawn edger should start instantly, run long enough to cover a typical yard on one charge, and stay light enough to use comfortably for the whole job. The GT50 covers all three, with the added benefit of doubling as a grass trimmer in the same tool.

Battery Operated Edger — Why Cordless Wins Over Gas

A battery operated edger removes the two biggest frustrations of gas equipment: fuel and maintenance. There's no mixing gas and oil, no pull-starting, and no engine servicing between seasons. A battery operated edger like the GT50 starts with one button, runs quietly enough for early mornings or weekend afternoons, and is ready to put away the moment you're done — no fuel to drain, no carburetor to worry about over winter.

Electric Edger vs. Gas Edger — What's the Real Difference

An electric edger — whether cordless or plugged in — trades unlimited runtime for convenience: instant starts, no fumes, and far less upkeep than a gas edger. For most home lawns, that trade is worth it. A cordless electric grass edger like the GT50 delivers enough power for routine borders and pathways without the noise, exhaust, or seasonal maintenance a gas edger demands.

Best Cordless Lawn Edger — What Separates Good From Average

The best cordless edger isn't necessarily the most powerful one — for home use, balance matters more. The best cordless lawn edger combines a swivel or adjustable head for both trimming and edging, a runtime that covers a full yard without stopping to recharge, and a weight that stays comfortable through an entire session. The GT50 is built around that balance rather than raw power alone.

Edge Trimmers for Lawns and Yards

Edge trimmers are the tool most home gardens are missing between mowing sessions — the piece that turns a cut lawn into a finished one. A good set of edge trimmers for lawns should handle both the vertical cut along a path or driveway and the horizontal trim around trees, fences, and flower beds. Electric edging tools like the GT50 do both from a single, cordless tool rather than requiring two separate machines.

Grass Trimmer Edger Combo — Two Tools in One

A grass trimmer edger combo saves the cost, storage space, and charging hassle of owning two separate machines. The best grass trimmer and edger combos use a swivel or rotating head to switch between the two functions in seconds. The GT50 is built exactly this way — a full grass trimmer for overgrown patches and tight corners, and a lawn edger for clean borders, in one lightweight body.

Cordless Trimmer Edger — Runtime and Charging Guide

A cordless trimmer edger runs on a rechargeable battery that needs to last long enough to cover a full yard in one session. The GT50 delivers 30 minutes of runtime per charge — enough for most home gardens — and recharges in time for the next weekend's maintenance. Because it shares a battery platform with the rest of the Gtech garden range, one charge cycle can cover more than just the edger if you're running multiple tools back to back.

Lawn Edgers — Corded vs. Cordless for Everyday Use

Lawn edgers broadly split into two categories: corded models that draw power from a wall outlet, and cordless models that run on a rechargeable battery. Corded edgers deliver continuous power but are limited by cord length, which rarely reaches the far side of a yard without an extension cord. Cordless edgers trade the cord for a battery, removing the reach restriction entirely. For most home gardens, cordless edgers are the more practical everyday tool — the GT50 delivers 30 minutes of battery-powered runtime, enough to complete a full edging and trimming pass without dragging a cord across flower beds or driveways.

Grass Edger Trimmer — Choosing the Right One for Your Yard

A grass edger trimmer is not a single category. The right choice depends on yard size, how often you maintain the lawn, and whether edging or trimming is the bigger job in your garden. For small to medium yards maintained weekly, a lightweight cordless grass edger trimmer with a 30-minute runtime, like the GT50, covers a full pass in a single charge. For larger properties or heavier overgrowth, a gas-powered edger with unlimited runtime may still make more practical sense.

Best Cordless Trimmer and Edger — Matching the Model to Your Yard

The best cordless trimmer and edger for a small suburban yard is not necessarily the best choice for a larger property with more border to maintain. For a standard home garden with regular upkeep, the GT50 delivers 30 minutes of runtime, a swivel head for both trimming and edging, and a lightweight 4.1 lb body built for comfortable extended use — and it shares its battery with the CLM50 mower and HT50 hedge trimmer, so one charge can cover the whole garden routine rather than just one tool.

Built by an Engineer Who Cuts His Own Lawn

Nick Grey-Gteh founder

Nick Grey founded Gtech in Worcester, England in 1999, starting from his garage with one conviction: that everyday garden tools were more complicated and expensive than they needed to be. He'd spent 12 years as Head of Engineering at Vax, one of the UK's leading vacuum brands, before leaving to develop his own ideas.
The GT50 is what that thinking looks like applied to yard work. No gas. No engine servicing. No cord to drag across the lawn. Just a light, well-balanced tool that does the job and goes back on charge when you're done.

I started Gtech to create sensible, easy to use products, which do a great job. Your opinion is important to us — we use your feedback to improve our products and make sure every Gtech owner gets what they paid for.

Since then, Gtech has sold over 22 million products in 19 countries. Every model carries a 2-year warranty backed by a dedicated customer service team. And Nick Grey is still designing the products.

For US buyers discovering Gtech for the first time: this is the British brand that built its reputation on making things that work properly, at a price that doesn't require an explanation.
