GREENWORKS OPTIMUS ES161 – 1.6kw Straight Shaft Edger

Description GREENWORKS OPTIMUS ES161 – 1.6kw Straight Shaft Edger is a professional-grade battery-powered edger that delivers gas-equivalent performance with 36cc engine-comparable torque. This commercial-duty edger features a high-efficiency brushless motor that produces 58% more power than traditional 28cc petrol edgers, making it ideal for maintaining larger properties and demanding commercial applications. Built with an 8-inch heat-treated blade, the ES161 achieves clean, precise cuts through tough turf with a maximum cutting depth of 2.4 inches. The lightweight design at just 12.4 pounds (tool only) reduces operator fatigue during extended use, while the balanced construction ensures comfortable handling throughout the workday. The edger operates on GREENWORKS’ 82V battery platform, providing consistent power without runtime constraints typical of corded tools. The two-step safety switch system allows operators to work confidently on larger areas, while the straight shaft design provides optimal reach and control for precise edging work.
