What Customers Are Saying
Customers are sharply divided on this trimmer. Many praise its lightweight design, ease of assembly, and dual trimming-edging functionality, finding it comfortable and ideal for small yards. However, nearly as many report severe battery issues—lasting only 10 to 20 minutes with 3.75-hour recharge times—forcing multiple battery purchases. Mechanical failures plague the product, with reviewers citing broken line feed systems, jammed spools, and failures after minimal use. Some note lack of power against thick grass and front-heavy balance. Despite positives, battery performance and durability concerns significantly undermine satisfaction.

Purchased in March 2016. The only problem is the way the guard is made, it lost a tab so it works for awhile and then comes off. I need to buy a new guard. It works really well

THANKFUL!
I AM AN ELDERLY LADY, WITH ARTHRITIS, LIVE ALONE, BUT STILL LIKE TO KEEP MY SMALL SPACE NEAT. I JUST RECENTLY PURCHASED THIS TRIMMER AND AM SO THANKFUL I FOUND IT. I LOVE ITS LIGHT WEIGHT AND EASE OF OPERATION WHILE STILL DOING WHAT A TRIMMER IS SUPPOSED TO DO. JUST WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR MAKING IT AVAILABLE.

stalls too easily, not powerful
I have a small yard, with a fenceline and a sidewalk. On paper, this tool seemed perfect for the job. In reality, it didn't have enough power to cut through the grass around the edge of my house and the fenceline. I had to move really slowly, or else it would stall, which seemed to drain the battery extremely quickly. When it stalls out, it doesn't just spin slower, it stops spinning entirely. So it felt like endless cycles of spin up, bog down, stall out. As an edger, it is worthless. It's ni...
Cordless trimmer blower combo
While i'm not a fan yet of battery powered yard tools, i found myself in need of such as the wife doesnt like gas powered or corded (corded actualy despised her) Though i had hopes for half decent tools i was surprised at how well that both worked, read reveiws after i receivied delivier and thought i made a mistake. Looked online for instructions as nothing worth while came with it, trimmer line, once unspooled to size is self advanced a little bit ( 1/16th")at each full start up. Which means ...

This thing is not great
I have this weed-wacker for a little under a year. I bought it as part of a blower combo. The blower has been satisfactory. I also purchased a bush trimmer, as well, for an extra battery. Using 2 batteries I can get my 1/4 acre lot done (this includes trimming and blowing). The batteries do not last long. If you buy this you really need two, I wouldn’t try and go on just one. The weed-wacker itself has been nothing but trouble. The line never advances when it should. This makes edging a huge has...

Great product for small jobs
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had this tool for about 3 years, I've never had any issues with it. The power is not really strong for someone with a overgrown lawn or edge, that's where I've seen it struggle but if you don't have very thick grass or overgrown, it's a great product to have.

Absolute Garbage
DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY! This trimmer does not auto-feed line and only allows for a single line out of the trimmer head. I love Craftsman products, but they should be ashamed of themselves for this. I lost track of the amount of times I had to stop and get more line out only to make it five feet before I needed to do it again. It would have been better for me to buy a pair of scissors and cut it by hand. This trimmer also fails to cut grass on the first pass which made it all the more frustratin...

Spool head broke, line doesn’t stop coming out.
I took the cover off and removed the spool to find that there is a little black clip under where the spool is placed that has broken off, and now the little broken clip just spins in circles. This happened after just a few uses and I cannot find a replacement spool head anywhere (online or in stores). I don’t know why this model doesn’t have a replacement head assembly anywhere when I’ve found one for the CMCST920 and CMCST960 series. All I can find is the cover alone, but no complete assembly. ...

Same problem as most everyone else
I thought Craftsman was supposed to be a good product. Had for one season and I have the same problem as everyone else. Endless line of string because of a broken spool feed. No tension so it just blasts out and rains spool pieces all over you. A problem they have known about for years but apparently have decided to ignore. Shame on Craftsman for making such a shoddy product and not standing behind it. Probably won’t even consider Craftsman in the future.
