Pros
- Brushless power with a real metal blade
- DriveShare interchangeable heads
- Good value within PowerShare
Cons
- Sold bare — batteries and charger extra
- Lighter-duty than petrol for heavy brush
- PowerShare ecosystem lock-in
The Worx Nitro WG186E is the Worx to buy if you need more than a grass trimmer. Its brushless 40V motor and included 25 cm steel blade let it take on tall grass and light scrub, and the DriveShare system means the same motor can power other garden attachments.
What UK retailers specify
UK retailers give a 38 cm cut with line and 25 cm with the three-blade steel disc, an adjustable handle, a brushless motor running on two 20V PowerShare batteries, and a weight of 4.1 kg for the bare WG186E.9 or about 5 kg for the kit with two 4 Ah batteries. Replacement line is 2.4 mm. We found no current Amazon.co.uk listing for the tool itself, so check UK garden retailers.
Who it’s for
Worx PowerShare owners who want one versatile machine for grass and light brush. Because it’s sold bare, the value is best if you already own the batteries; otherwise factor in two 20V packs and a charger.
Verdict
A capable, versatile cordless brush cutter for Worx owners. The blade and brushless motor lift it well above the string-only models.
The Worx that actually cuts brush — brushless power, a real blade and swappable heads. Just remember the .9 version has no battery in the box.
Worx Nitro WG186E.9 — frequently asked questions
Does the Worx Nitro WG186E come with batteries?
The WG186E.9 is sold bare. The WG186E kit comes with two 20V 4 Ah PowerShare batteries and a charger. It runs on two 20V batteries at once, so it suits people already in the Worx ecosystem.
Can it cut brambles?
Light brambles, yes — unlike the line-only WG183E, the Nitro comes with a 25 cm three-blade steel disc and has a brushless motor, so it handles tall grass and light scrub.
What is DriveShare?
DriveShare is Worx's coupling for attachments: the motor unit can take other heads, such as the hedge trimmer attachment sold for the WG186E, so one motor and set of batteries does several jobs.
