12/2/2023 0 Comments Ego trimmer vibration![]() ![]() Built to last, the Professional-X range delivers clean, quiet, safe and productive working. These tools push the boundaries of battery technology, with the power and performance to surpass petrol-powered equivalents. They’ve specifically been engineered to work harder, all-day-every-day, in the most challenging conditions. Super-tough and super-powerful, EGO's Professional-X range of tools are designed for garden maintenance professionals, facilities management and specialists. It is fitted with a quick adjustable loop handle. When it comes to operation, the STX3800 is equipped with a variable speed trigger, this means you have full control over speed and power, therefore able to work more efficiently. The light, yet amazingly strong carbon fibre shaft won't bend or lose its shape over time, keeping vibration levels to a minimum. The EGO Power+ STX3800 is equipped with a manual wind bump feed head fitted with 2.4mm dual nylon line which gives a 38cm cutting widthbut the line feed head is capable of housing line up to 3mm in diameter. The power comes from EGO's professional backpack battery and the ready-for-anything, rear-mounted 2kW brushless motor. However, with this trimmer plagued by other errors of commission and errors of omission, it isn’t worth the time.The tough answer to taming and maintaining rough ground, the EGO Power+ STX3800 commercial line trimmer is perfectly balanced for comfortable use day in, day out. If vibration were the only design flaw in this trimmer, I would likely take the time to reengineer it to virtually eliminate vibration. I could design and make markedly better ones, so why can’t Ego? My guess is that the rocket scientist engineers work at NASA or something equivalent (Tesla, perhaps), not Ego. Furthermore, their handles do little to reduce vibration. It is utterly simple to balance an electric motor spinning the spool and line, but Ego didn’t do it in this case. This trimmer manifests sloppy engineering. As with so many things, prevention is the only viable option.īefore deciding to return this unit, I verified that the line lengths were the same on both sides, and then tapped it to advance more line: also cut equally, but with no reduction in vibration. Unfortunately, no one knows in advance if he or she will develop it, and when, so you might think you’re safe this year and be suffering the next, and for the rest of your life. Speaking as a physician, it is important to minimize vibration because it may trigger Raynaud syndrome and after the damage is done, it can’t be fully reversed. I have lots of lawn and garden experience, having paid my way through college and medical school by mowing lawns, during which I used string trimmers with markedly less vibration even though they all had unbalanced spools with line exiting only on one side. I could do the same or even better on this one (now that I have a 3-D printer), but I am tired of wasting time reengineering products designed by engineers who botch simple things. ![]() We were very disappointed by the vibration, which exceeds that of my old Echo gas trimmer, at least after I modified it to reduce vibration. A friend purchased the same trimmer (ST1521S) and I assembled it for her.
