Cordless String Trimmer
on August 28, 2021
Posted by: RCS928
from Salt Lake
Everything seemed good on this trimmer until I had t change the string. I have had it now for about a year and I dread when the string runs out. It is a pain in the butt. Sometime I will wait until the next weekends yard work before replacing the string because I am just to tired after mowing, edging, weeding… to restring this spool. So inconvenient.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Leery of electric landscaping tools

I have to admit when I first bought this I was unsure of actually how strong it would be versus the gas trimmer that I own. When I unboxed it charged up the 60 V battery and took it outside I was more than surprised at how strong it was. I have a little over an acre of a yard and a lot of weeds sick brush and it went through it like a hot knife through butter. Very very happy with my new purchase! And with all that trimming that I did it only used a third of the battery.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Drove 80 mile round trip just to buy this TOOL

This String Trimmer is a Beast!
Assembly is quick and easy! 5 minutes tops
The balance of this Trimmer is Spot on! When the battery is installed the balance is in the middle between the Front Handle and the Trigger / motor assembly. Meaning when holding and using by the front handle and trigger handle it almost feels weightless! Which is a good thing cause this Trimmer does have some weight to it.
On That Note: couple things I personally would have liked to see on this tool.
1) Somewhere to attach a shoulder trap (Shoulder strap option) of some kind. would help a great deal.
2) Some way to hang the tool in the shed, or garage, *there is not a hook, or key hole to hang the tool on a screw (example is the full size 18" DEWALT chain saw)
3) The Edger attachment.... would have been nice to be able to just spin the head or shaft of the tool for an Edger instead of purchasing a complete attachment. the option could easily been done.
All in All 5 STARS for sure!
I am very pleased with this tool. did not disappoint at all!
Plenty of power on Low speed and High
Battery life is amazing with the 9ah 60v battery
It's DEWALT, need I say more?
**sorry no pics, maybe later**

Love it.

Bought the original 60v that didn’t allow attachments and absolutely loved it. My wife used it one time and lost the head cap. While looking for a replacement I can across this newer one that allows attachments. I haven’t had an edger since replacing my gas Husqvarna (and I missed having one). I had to buy another brand of edger attachment since Dewalt hasn’t released theirs yet, but it worked great. Was lighter than my old gas one and it has plenty of power. Kept it on the low setting and it worked fine. Much easier in my back than using the string trimmer.
I’ve been wanting Dewalt to come out with a 60V pole saw, so this will fill that spot. Going to order the pole saw attachment and brush cutter attachment when they are available.
I still plan on using my other Dewalt primarily for my string trimmer. Since the motor is in the head I feel it should be more durable (since there are less moving parts), but I absolutely love this trimmer.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great string trimmer
on June 28, 2021
Posted by: Killshakes
from New Jersey
Great string trimmer. Light and powerful with very little noise or vibration. It’s just what I needed. I honestly can’t understand some of the less than stellar reviews I’ve read. This thing cuts through just about anything, and when it’s set to “high”—look out! Solid battery life too. I have had it for two months, use it regularly, and have never had to charge the battery. I’m eager to pick-up the pole saw attachment now.
I would recommend this to a friend!

No attachments available???

Overall, I like this product. However, one of the main things that attracted me to it, despite its price, is that it advertises that various attachments can be purchased for the main motor part, but those attachments cannot be found anywhere. It's almost like they use the "attachments" to lure you in to buy it just to see if they sell enough to make it worth them actually producing the attachments.

So far so good

Bought this yesterday, and I am impressed. I had a Kobalt 80 volt trimmer, this is more substantial.
The paperwork that came with this kit indicates that I should have received a charger with an internal fan to cool the battery while charging. I didn’t get that, instead I got a charger which charges much slower, so it doesn’t need a fan to cool the battery, as a slower charge generates less heat. Would much rather have the faster charger.
I do recommend this trimmer, just know that you won’t get the faster charger.
I can’t speak to its durability yet, as I’ve only used it for an hour, but it seems sturdy, and the high speed is very good at trimming grass and weeds.
