Electric String Trimmer Appraisal

Homelite 13-Inch Electric String Trimmer/Edger

This is a corded electric string trimmer/edger, typically identified as a Homelite model, featuring a straight, telescopic aluminum shaft for height adjustment. The unit is constructed with a durable plastic housing in a dark grey or olive-green color scheme. It includes a loop-style auxiliary handle mounted mid-shaft for two-handed operation and a main top handle with a red safety trigger switch. The bottom head assembly includes a protective debris shield and a dual-function pivoting head designed for switching between grass trimming and vertical edging. Based on the branding and design, this model is a typical consumer-grade garden tool from the mid-to-late 2010s. Physically, the item shows signs of significant use; the lower motor housing and debris guard are covered in dried grass clippings and dirt patina. There is visible scuffing on the aluminum shaft and plastic components, though the structural integrity appears intact without major cracks in the housing. The power cord is not fully visible, but the plug-in receptacle is located at the top rear of the trigger handle. The overall craftsmanship is consistent with mass-produced, homeowner-level power equipment.
