LawnMaster Gas or Cordless? Picking Your Weed Wacker

Best for
Gas power without the pull cord

The LawnMaster No-Pull 25cc 2 Cycle Engine trimmer (NPTGSP2517A) pairs a 25cc two-stroke engine with a 17-inch cutting path. The “no-pull” name means it starts with a battery-powered starter instead of a recoil cord, and the listing notes that a battery is included. The 7.2V No-Pull charger in the NPTGCP2517B listing names this model as compatible, which confirms it uses LawnMaster’s No-Pull battery system.

The listing itself is thin. It gives dimensions of 42.12 by 10.62 by 10.23 inches and a weight of 19.25 pounds, which likely reflects the boxed weight, and it lists Cleva as the manufacturer. It does not specify the trimmer head, line size, fuel tank capacity or shaft type. As a two-cycle engine, it runs on a gas and oil mix.

This suits owners of larger yards with thick grass who hate yanking a pull cord on cold mornings. If you want to know exactly what you are getting, the NPTGCP2517B has a much more detailed listing. For heavier brush work beyond a string trimmer, our brush cutter guide covers the next step up.

Slightly bigger gas engine, same 17-inch path

The LawnMaster No-Pull 26cc 2 Cycle Engine trimmer (NPTGSP2617A) is nearly identical on paper, with a slightly larger 26cc two-stroke engine and the same 17-inch cutting path. It also uses no-pull starting, and the listing says a lithium-ion battery is included.

The listing gives dimensions of 42 by 10 by 5 inches and a weight of 18.9 pounds, and names Cleva as the manufacturer. Like the 25cc model, it does not describe the head, line, fuel tank or shaft. The extra cubic centimeter is a small step; in general, a bigger engine gives a bit more torque in dense growth, but the difference between 25cc and 26cc is modest.

This suits the same buyer as the 25cc model who wants the newer 26cc engine. If you want a trimmer that accepts attachments, the NPTGCP2517B is the better documented choice.

Best for
Light trimming and edging on small yards

The LawnMaster CLGT2412S 24V 12″ Cordless String Trimmer is the lightweight choice, at under 6 pounds. It has a 12-inch cutting width and runs at 8200 rpm. A 7-position pivoting head and a 90° rotating shaft let it convert into an edger, so one tool handles both jobs along paths and driveways.

Line advances automatically at every startup, so you do not bump or adjust it by hand. A retractable guard protects flowers and garden features, and an adjustable assist handle helps with control. The box includes the trimmer, a 24V MAX 2.0Ah battery and a 2.5A fast charger. The listing gives average battery life as 2 hours, though actual runtime depends on how thick the growth is.

This suits small and medium yards and anyone who finds gas trimmers too heavy or noisy. For thick, tall weeds across a large lot, the 17-inch gas trimmers cut wider. For comparisons with other cordless trimmers, see our 20V string trimmer guide.

• 12-inch cutting width, 8200 rpm
• Converts to edger with 7-position head
• Auto line feed and retractable guard
• 2.0Ah battery and fast charger included

Best for
Setting up a whole small yard at once

The LawnMaster 24V 13″ Mower & Blower combo is a yard starter bundle, and it needs a clear note: the trimmer in this bundle is a Worx 20V 2-in-1 string trimmer and edger, not a LawnMaster tool. The LawnMaster parts are a 13-inch cordless mower and a blower, powered by two 24V 4.0Ah batteries.

The mower spins at 3,700 RPM, has a 13-inch deck with five cutting heights from 1 to 2.55 inches, a carrying handle and folding push handles. The blower reaches 135 MPH. LawnMaster quotes up to 35 minutes of mowing and 22 minutes of blowing per charge. The Worx trimmer, which comes with its own battery and charger, has a 10- to 12-inch cutting width, converts to an edger and uses push-button line feed. Because the trimmer is on a Worx 20V platform, its battery is not listed as interchangeable with the LawnMaster 24V tools.

This suits a small yard owner who wants mowing, blowing and trimming covered at once. If you only need a trimmer, the standalone CLGT2412S is simpler and stays on one battery system.

Best for
Cordless trimming with extra runtime

The LawnMaster 24V 12″ Cordless String Trimmer & Edger listing is the CLGT2412S trimmer bundled with an additional 24V 4.0Ah battery. The description spells this out: the CLGT2412S with its 2.0Ah battery and charger, plus a LawnMaster 24LB4005-CN 4.0Ah battery. The title and bullets mix these details, so read it as two batteries, not one.

The trimmer is the same: 12-inch cutting width, under 6 pounds, 7-position pivoting head with 90° rotating shaft for edging, auto line feed, retractable guard and adjustable assist handle. The 4.0Ah battery fits a list of LawnMaster tools, including the 24VMWBL, CLM2413A, CLMF4815E, CLMF4817E and CLMF4819 series, and is described as compatible with LawnMaster 24V or 48V MAX equipment. Charge time is listed at two to four hours.

This suits anyone who wants longer trimming sessions or plans to add other LawnMaster 24V tools. If one 2.0Ah battery is enough, the standalone CLGT2412S covers it. For more cordless options, our battery-powered weed eater guide is a useful comparison.

Best for
Gas trimmer owners wanting attachments

The LawnMaster NPTGCP2517B No-Pull Gas String Trimmer is the most detailed gas listing. It pairs a 25cc two-cycle engine with a 17-inch cutting width and an electric push-start button that LawnMaster says gives up to 150 starts per charge. The fuel tank holds 420 ml.

A dual-line bump-feed head uses 0.080-inch line for tall grass and stubborn weeds. The split shaft works with a multi-tool attachment system, so the power head can drive other yard tools, and an adjustable assist handle reduces fatigue. This listing bundles a 7.2V No-Pull charger, which charges LawnMaster 7.2V No-Pull batteries in four to six hours and is listed as compatible with the NPTBL31AB, NPTBL26A, NPTGSP2517A and NPTGCP2517B.

This suits gas trimmer buyers who want a split shaft for attachments and a spare charger. If you do not need attachments, the NPTGSP models cover the same cutting width.

• 25cc engine, 17-inch cutting width
• Electric push start, up to 150 starts per charge
• Split shaft for multi-tool attachments
• 7.2V No-Pull charger included
