Ratings & Reviews for Kobalt 12-in Telescopic Shaft Battery String Trimmer Edger Conversion Capable

Works well enough for an inexpensive model

No complaints. Nothing fancy. Occasionally would not stay at the angle I had it but otherwise it is fine for a small yard.

A Nice, Powerful, Comfortable, Versatile Trimmer

This is my fifth string trimmer and my second battery powered model, and I’m finding it light, powerful, and versatile. So far, the battery has easily lasted through each afternoon’s lawn touch up session. The trimmer works well for level trimming along fence lines, and the small wheels let it convert into a vertical edger — a very nice feature. It also offers multiple adjustments that genuinely make the work easier. You can extend or shorten the main shaft, which is surprisingly helpful for com...

Wheel and twisting shaft for edging

Love that this turns sideways and has a wheel for edging! Nice and lightweight

SATISFIED SO FAR

Easily handles tall grass & weeds, but lightweight. I would suggest another battery, perhaps 4ah. Telescoping & adjustable handle & head for personal comfort. Quickly converts to edger. Challenging to reload line (-1 star). Lots of plastic, seems to be sturdy & well made. I recommend this trimmer.

For the price of the kobalt no one can beat it.

I was a contractor for 30 plus years and we have used all major brands cordless devices and since 2012 i started buying kobakt cordless devices a d as of i have almost every cordless tool that kobalt make and ive experienced that kobalt stands up to the best of them and i wouldn't even think to buy any other cordless device ever again, im kibalt tool man for life.

Awesome product for that price

Lightweight awesome power great price

Good starter tool once you get past setup

This is a solid option if you’re new to doing your own lawn work. It works well and gets the job done, especially for basic trimming and upkeep. Once it’s up and running it feels easy to handle and not too heavy. The only downside for me was the setup. It was a little confusing at first and took longer than I expected to figure out. After getting past that though, everything worked great. That’s really the only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5. Overall it’s a good starter tool and does wha...

Great Little Trimmer for Light Duty Use

Battery operated is good with no fuel mix. It does a fair job at edging. If the grass is really thick and over the edges you are trimming it may struggle to do it efficiently meaning having to make more passes to finish the edge. Using the edger function has a learning curve. I have always used a gas trimmer. So learning to develop the technique of getting a straight line is tricky using the wheels. It has enough power for a smaller yard that needs maintaining. It is not for use on badly owergro...

Nice lightweight trimmer

A nice light weight 24v line trimmer. It will not only trim but has wheels so you can turn it sideways to edge. The shaft is adjustable for different lengths for user comfort. The handle is also adjustable so you can turn it to either weedwack or edge. It takes size .065 line. It has a loop wire to help you from cutting flowers down when you get close to them. Battery lasts for about 1/2 hour.

Affordable trimmer for small to medium yards

Lightweight and easy to set up and use.

The product was on the heavy side

I like the product as a whole except the weight was a little bit heavy for me

Ordered but never arrived

Assembly instructions are not clear and the store was no help, they referred me to the online website, also recommended the wrong string

Great value for the price

Great multi use product for trimming and edging. Purchased this for sidewalk edging but works with mulch beds and along wooden fences.

Worked as advertised out of the box
