  • The real deal
I am happy that I went for the heavier duty. I have put this through the paces and haven't been disappointed. I have owned it long enough now that I have refilled the line spool three times. And while it doesn't look like new anymore, I don't think I have even put a dent in its useful life. I have taken out 1" diameter blackberries, yet turned the trimmer on edge and done some quality edging. I mostly have done 'bushwhacking' type clearing with it. The lesson has been to top the tall stuff and then repeat to get the area down to height otherwise the falling long material is caught and you bind up too often. The spool on this unit does clear pretty easily. Another trick with clearing tall material is to pay attention to the direction that you sweep the cutting. There is enough horsepower here that even heavy material can get thrown clear if you get your geometry right. Rarely do I use it on the high speed switch setting. I get just fine results on the lower setting. Ergonomically I have the handle placed so that it has a nice balance during use and also for carrying (with or without the battery in place). The trigger is easy to control so that you can regulate the rpm's, hence the ability to do both deep weeds and also edge or work around delicates. But, of course, this is a battery powered tool. I have 2 of the 6.0AH batteries and get 30-45 minutes of continuous work from each one (but I do take care to only run at the rpm's necessary to do the job at hand). So I can't recharge fast enough with just the two to work continuously--even with the DCB118 Fast Charger. But factoring in the elimination of all the hassle of alternatives--power cords or fuel mixtures-- I still am ahead. First time I used this I immediately adjusted the contents of my tool shed so that this trimmer hangs where it is the easiest grab in the shed. While it is limited in how much run time you have, it is an absolute beast when it comes to how much work you can do with a single battery. Only hassle I keep encountering is when I need to spool up new line. I always forget the process for opening to get to the spool. The parts have labels to show locked vs. unlocked, but I get to the point where it won't open and I don't know if I have missed a step or if it is just that debris has gotten into the housing and is fighting back. I jump online and review the owner's manual and everything works out, but I wish it would just happen without having the extra minutes of downtime. Oh, decibels. I habitually use foam ear plugs when using powered yard tools, but this unit is on the borderline of requiring protection. Neighbors certainly have nothing to complain about as it is well below the dB's of a gas unit and has the added benefit of when it is "idling" as you move from spot to spot, it is off. ... show more

  • Switch from Gas to this battery trimmer just as powerful
This works as good as a gas powered trimmer without the hassle of mixing gas, replacing filters, constant tuning. I have a Stihl trimmer I used for 15 years and every year I would take it apart clean it replace the fuel filter etc. The con on this particular model is it will only use the 60 flexvolt battery not the 20v batteries. The battery lasted almost 90 minutes of constant use. I would like to get the attachment for brush cutting but it's not available on Amazon. ... show more

  • No vibrations, no fumes.
My lawn is roughly 100ft wide by 250ft long. I bought two 15 AH flexvolt batteries with this tool, plus the 60v max handheld blower, which came with its own 12 AH flexvolt battery. I had to modify the battery shroud a bit by filing away about 1/4 inch of material from the inner rear part of it to make those 15 AH batteries fit, but once I did, they popped right in and worked just fine. On just one of the 15 AH batteries, I was able to not just trim, but actually mow 80% of my lawn, just using the low power setting on the trimmer, and was able to switch to the 60v mode a few times to deal with some more durable weeds and I used a little bit of the second 15 AH battery to finish mowing the lawn. I don't have a reliable lawnmower yet, but this trimmer makes me wonder if I even need one at all. On top of that, unlike a gas powered trimmer, this one isn't loud, it's very quiet, And it imposes significantly less vibrations on your forearms and hands, which keeps it feeling comfortable even after prolonged use. Even with the big 15AH battery in it, it still felt lighter than a gas trimmer. With a gas trimmer you always have to be mindful of the orientation of your gas tank, If you flip the trimmer upside-down it'll stall, but not with this trimmer, it doesn't skip a beat no matter what orientation or angle you hold it in, which meant a lot to me in a few areas where I wanted to remove one plant but not another. plus you don't need to mix fuel for it and it doesn't give off that noxious smell either. After that, I whipped out the 60v max blower to clean off the driveway, sidewalk & fluff the grass on the entire lawn, neither tool failed me or ran out of power. I'm very impressed with both tools. ... show more

  • So easy and convient! Very powerful and great battery life. 2 speed settings.
Ive owned many Stihl commercial grade string trimmers and id say for regular use I far prefer using the Dewalt. This string trimmer is perfect if you meet a few prerequisites. 1: You are already invested in Dewalt 20/60 volt tool system. 2: You already own at least one 60v Flexvolt Dewalt battery. 3: you don't plan to try to use the trimmer to regularly cut unmaintained overgrown property. If you meet those three simple things you will most likely love this trimmer. No gas to mix and store, no cord to pull, no spark plug to change. Makes trimming around the house something you can easily do in between mowing without having to set aside a whole day for yard work. Who is this trimmer not for? In my opinion, if you don't already own Dewalt 60v tools and don't plan to buy any more, go with something else. I wouldn't recommend to use it in a commercial lawn care service type setting. I wouldn't recommend it to someone who only trims a few times a year. Where it really shines is continuing maintenance on an already maintained yard. The only Cons I can think of and the reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 are: I wish it accepted a thicker string and I wish the string guard was wider. ... show more
