CRAFTSMAN 20-Volt Cordless Electric Total Lawn Maintenance

Worked great for a while, then not so much...

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I thought this weedwacker was great for the first few months of use. (I actually have quite an investment in Craftsman V20 garden and workshop tools, so I'm very familiar with the product line and generally a big fan.) Then the line feed stopped working... now it takes twice as long to complete a simple trimming job because I have to stop and manually advance the line by disassembling the head. Total pain! Starting to question my commitm...

Good purchase

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Perfect for my needs. I have a small yard, but works great

Dissatisfied

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a light duty trimmer. I haven't had it but about a year and now when I try to use it, the head just wobbles around and won't work. I can't find any information on why this happened and how I might fix it, but found no information.

20v weed trimmer

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As others have stated the string does not come out and you have to take the cap off to release more string. The cap does not last very long, I have changed it out 3 times in a year. The inner hub the string spool goes in is starting to deteriorate after a season of use. Other than that it has reasonable power and is easy to use.

Great battery powered trimmer with dual speeds

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am not sure why everyone seems to be negative and hating on this product. I have owned this Trimmer for at least 4 years now, since they first came out with this design and it works every time. Still have the very same trimmer today. It rarely fails to advance string when the button is depressed and in most cases that is due to the string being stuck to the line reel. I use all 4MP battery's and can usually cover my 1/2 acre lot with two batt...

Good and Sturdy, Difficult to Disassemble/Repair

Let me address the elephant in the reviews: line feeding. Yes, there is an issue with getting the line to feed, however, I've found that the issue is with the tension of the line on the spool, not the trimmer. My first instinct is to wind it tight and neat, but if you pack it in too tightly it won't be able to unwind with the momentum alone (which is basically how it works). It's not a flaw of the design, but of the buyer who expects a button-triggered line feeder to be powered. That's my first...

Awesome 20V Trimmer

I previously owned a Dewalt 20V and Kobalt 40V trimmer. This Craftsman, by far is the best in my opinion... I'm pushing 70 yrs old. This is light enough and the 4 ah battery lasts a lot longer than the other trimmer batteries. It might not be as powerful as the Kobalt I owned, but it's perfect for me and my needs. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is the first one I bought had an issue with the lock that locks the top and bottom bars. I adjusted it to my comfort and used it several times...

Auto and Manual Line Advance Stopped Working

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Has been a good trimmer, still trims well but a couple years ago the line feed (auto and manual) stopped working. I had just bought 5 or 6 new line spools so I have just been manually advancing the line by removing the cover and pulling the line out manually. It looks like the spindle that the spool fits on has worn down and the spool is binding on the spindle so it cannot rotate as it needs to to advance the line. Almost out of line so will ...

Craftsman V20 4Ah string trimmer mdl # CMCST910M1

I have had this trimmer almost 2 years and really only used it this year after I had a new yard put in. I've had no issues until recently. I went into my shed to use it and the top and bottom pole had separated. I took out the screws at the adjustment clamp to place it back and it will not adjust. It will not go back together. I spent alot of money on it, and own all craftsman battery tools, and now it is useless. Broken without any fault of my own, walked in and found it hanging to the floor...

Amazing Trimmer

I have owned trimmers before and liked the Ryobi 18V top of the line trimmer but the issues were the normal 1. too light of string so you went through it fast, 2. too much line fees, so you went through it fast, 3. you could not put on a higher .080 to .085 string, which is the minimum you need if you have a lawn of any size, and want to move through your job quickly and completely, and not have to charge a battery twice. So, I haven't had a trimmer in awhile because I have been traveling for t...
