HUSQVARNA 525LST ERGONOMICS
While weight isn’t an indicator of quality of a tool’s ergonomics String trimmers are lighter than other tools.
Although a 15-pound string trimmer is not a major issue on the first lawn, you will feel the difference by the eighth.
Husqvarna makes a lightweight trimmer. With fuel in the tank, the 525LST weighs 10.36 lbs with no string.
This string trimmer was the lightest we tried. Based on this fact alone, it should tempt the Pro in some way.
The comfortability of a string trimmer also depends on noise. No one wants to hear tinnitus from their string trimmer, although everyone should have hearing protection.
The Husqvarna 525LST sound levels were measured at the ear and again from 50 feet away. This trimmer registers 98dB(A) at the ear and 74dB(A), 50 ft away.
These measurements were at the top of the pack.
