  • The real deal
Style: Tool Only
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

  • Solid replacement for gas powered trimmers!!
Style: Tool Only
This thing is a beast! I love the 2-speed selectability. Low will be good when doing long runs of reasonably manicured lawn to extend battery life. The high speed is near violent and chews through thicker grasses like it's nothing. The trimmer only bogged for a second when I caught a root ball of some weedy grass, but it powered through and kept right on cutting. The string that comes on it is thin and seems flimsy, especially for a commercial operation, but worked fine for my grass. I haven't tried putting in the big boy trimmer line yet, so I can't comment on spool capacity. 1 design issue to watch for: debris shield is too small. You will need to wear appropriate gear (no shorts and flip flops) or else your shins will get sandblasted by passing debris. Handling left handed helped some, but didn't eliminate the issue. I bought the bare tool as I have 2 9Ah 60v batteries already. I can't see running out of juice with this setup but may update with extended use later in the season. Even with those monster batteries, it is light and easy to weild. Does NOT work with the 20v Max batteries I have (just checking for users who may be thinking of trying to do so). I think the tool is "keyed" to only accept these 60v batteries. Overall, after my first spring use, I love it already and will retire my Husqvarna gas trimmer. ... show more

  • Saw blade conversion notes
Style: Tool Only
I have been using this trimmer quite a bit lately. I have very pleased with the power and effectiveness of it. Mostly, I wanted to share some notes on a popular string trimmer convertion- namely changing the string head out for a saw blade. If you want to do this convertion, you will want a metric 10mm x 1.25 pitch LEFT threaded. As you can imagine, this is quite an odd ball nut. I ended up ordering mine from Amazon here- 4pcs M10 x 1.25mm Pitch Stainless Steel Left Hand Fine Thread Hex Nut Metric ABBOTT https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06Y1KBQWM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_RSTZCbRSV4JA0 Be advised this does take a good 3-4 weeks to ship. You will also want a lockwasher (7/16” works fine) and a bushing to adapt the trimmer's spindle to fit the arbor size of the saw blade you want to use (usually 5/8"). My local Menards sold a variety pack of bushings next to the saw blades. I ended up drilling out the center of the 5/8” x 3/8" to fit the spindle exactly using a stepped bit. The bushing prevents the saw blade from wobbling. These types of saw bushing kits are fairly common, you may even be able find one that requires no modifications. With the saw blade attached, this thing cuts through 2" diameter trees, just as quickly as cutting through some tall grass. With a 7 ¹/⁴” blade, 3" is about the max depth of cut. (I haven't tried a larger blade.). If you get into stuff that big, you want to ease into the cut because the teeth tend to suck the blade into the tree, and can pinch the blade. A few safety notes too. I recommend using chain saw type chaps if you use a blade in a trimmer. Often times a limb can snap when you cut it and that can result in launching some decent size branches at your shins at a surprisingly fast rate. A forestry hard hat with face shield is a good idea too, because you know, it's your face and all. Overall, I really like this mod and it's easy to swap the string head back on for cleaning up around the yard. If a saw blade sounds scary to you, don't try it, but I hope this helps if someone else wanted to do this mod. (I mainly did this review to save anyone else the annoyance I had in trying to size that dang spindle nut. 😁) I hope this helped. ... show more

  • Good quality but mediocre battery life
Style: Tool Only
Great and takes out the need for a gas weed eater. Feels very similar to a normal one and works just as well. Only issue is that it only takes certain batteries and they are the biggest most expensive ones and usually that battery dies 3/4 of the way through my lawn. I do have a 1/3 of an acre and spend a good amount of time edging my sidewalks. If I had two batteries I could switch no problem and do my yard and then some ... show more
