What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise this battery-powered string trimmer for its lightweight design, strong performance, and convenience. Many highlight the ease of handling, especially those with physical limitations, noting it reduces fatigue and allows comfortable chest-height operation. Battery life consistently lasts 45 minutes to over an hour per charge, eliminating gas maintenance and providing cordless freedom. Reviewers appreciate the one-button trimming-to-edging conversion, automatic line feed, and quiet operation. Most describe it as excellent value with durable construction, calling it the best trimmer they've owned. A few mention limitations with very thick weeds or single-line design, though these are rare concerns.

Fantastic 20v Trimmer!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Craftsman string trimmer (or weedeater i feel most of us call it) is fantastic. It small, but has a lot of power to knock out even the thick pasture grass we have in areas in the backyard. It's a little early in the season to weedeat, but after the 18" of snow melt about 4 weeks ago, i did have some tall patches i was able to knock out. It's light enough i was able to operate using one handed, while holding some wire out of the way the oth...

String Trimmer

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The trimmer itself is good it has plenty of power the only thing i dont like is that it has thumb safety buttons instead of a tab like regular trimmers. The battery life is not very good for the 2ah batteries, one held up about 20 ish minutes and the other only about 15 minutes maybe less. I dont know if i got a bad battery or because of first charge or maybe 2ah is just not enough for the power output. All in all the trimmer is good but would ...

Residential usage good battery life

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great cordless trimmer. Works of residential usage. Battery lasts long enough to do multiple jobs from a yard. If you're looking for something that will take care of heavy brush may want to go with more powerful unit. This one is nice lightweight and easy to use. Battery chargers quickly no need for a second battery. For the price this is definitely worth it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This weed wacker was easy to put together. It is not overly heavy. You can rotate the head to turn it into an edger with a push of a button.

Great trimmer, lightweight

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great product. I was looking for a trimmer that I was able to use that didn't start to bother my back after usage. This does it! It is lightweight but still does a great job. I really enjoyed the adjustable handle so it can be repositioned depending on what area you are trimming. The battery fits in very easily and I really enjoy that it is a battery I already have for my other Craftsman products! The other nice feature about the trim...

Good power for a battery trimmer

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was surprised and pleased at the power this trimmer has even though it's battery operated. Sure beats having to use a long extension cord or hauling around a heavy gas-powered trimmer. I really like the trigger lock button that keeps the trimmer running without having to keep the trigger engaged. Much less fatigue. It has good balance and seems to have a slightly longer body so there is less strain on arm and back. The battery pack is removab...
