Lightweight, 2 in one trimmer and edger
Would RecommendI’ve been really impressed with the Kobalt 24-volt 2-in-1 string trimmer and lawn edger. Easy instructions for quick assembly. It comes with the battery and charger, and everything charges quickly so you’re not stuck waiting around to get started. One of my favorite features is how easy it is to switch from a trimmer to an edger. With just the push of a button, it transforms in seconds, which makes yard work feel a lot less like a chore. The spool system is also a big win—loading and unloading t...
Lightweight yet powerful
Would RecommendPROS – Two tools in one, both a trimmer and lawn edger. Easy to assemble, but some instructions could have been more detailed. The length of the trimmer tubes are adjustable, and the handle compresses to a shorter size making it easier to store. It is lightweight yet powerful. Battery can be charged either on the trimmer or using the battery adapter. Charges quickly. CONS – An automatic stringer would have been a great feature.
Another Great Lowe's Product!
Would RecommendThis line trimmer/edger is adjustable to accommodate people of different heights. It is light weight and easy to handle for anyone. The kit comes with everything you need to keep your lawn the envy of your neighbors, and you cannot beat the Lowe's warranty.
Very easy to use!
Would RecommendI love this battery operated Weedeater/Edger. The ease of it makes it to where not only my Husband, but I as a older womenbcan use it with ease too and works so good and weedeats in a heartbeat.
Handy unit for weed eating and edging with wheels.
Would RecommendI charged the battery first. The battery can be plugged in directly to cable or comes with a battery charger. The whole unit is very light and easy to use for any one. The versatility is fantastic. The weed eater can be used as an edger in seconds with a push of the button and manipulation of head and handle. The handle length adjust along with head angle should accommodate almost any user height. Unit comes with wheels making a easy handling edger. It made quick work of my yard and side walk. I...
Cool little string trimmer
Would RecommendJust got the Kobalt 24v string trimmer. Needed one to have around the house as a backup. This little guy is perfect for homeowners. It’s light, easy to put together and quick to charge. Great looking color also which makes it look even better. Super simple to use and not complicated like other battery operated tools. Also doesn’t have a big bulky battery charger. It’s a simple USB charger like a cell phone. Cut leaves a 12” path and is very clean. The trimmer is very lite and nimble for tight ar...
Good Power Without the Hassle of a Cord
Would RecommendGreat upgrade from a corded trimmer. It arrived in its original packaging and even though it wen through a rainstorm, it was packaged well and pretty much pristine inside. I love that I can just plug in the battery and charge with the enclosed usb cord and plug. There is an adapter for those older batteries that do not have a USB charging ability. There is also, plastic cutting blades that are alternatives to the cutting line. They are meant to work with thick grass, weeds, and light brush. Wit...

Would RecommendWorks great very light weight battery will do my 3/4 acre yard. Love the adjustable handle and head! Impressed with power and the accessories that came with it
Compact Kobalt Trimmer and Edger
Would RecommendThe Kobalt 24V Max 2-in-1 trimmer is compact and powerful! It reminds me of using a compact drill because this thing transports anywhere. It will easily fit in a small car because the handle collapses inward. Its features a 7-position pivoting head, which allows it to transform from a standard grass trimmer into a walk-behind edger with a simple adjustment. It's an excellent tool for maintaining clean lines along driveways and sidewalks. Another cool feature, the battery doubles as a power ...
Great lightweight trimmer with adjustable parts
Would RecommendGreat! I've always used kobslt string trimmers. This one is especially lightweight. I like the adjustable handle that pivots to different angles. The head pivots as well to get the right angle, which I love. The midpoint of the long pole twists 90 degrees to let you get a better angle for the edging function. I really like it. It's lighter and smaller than my previous kobalt trimmer. It came with an option to use a plastic blade trimmer instead of the line/string.
Good product for small projects only
Would Not RecommendThe battery took about 5 hours to charge and was depleted in about one hour. Directions for assembly are not clear so it took looking at videos on the internet to put it together. I really like the telescoping feature. I'm 5 ft. tall and it adjust well for my height. I tried the edger first. The blades are plastic and flimsy. It cuts fairly well and its easy to use. However, the blades do not go down to ground level. You can not make a cut line down the edge of a sidewalk like you can with most ...
Kobalt Kaboom 💥
Would Not RecommendThe pros are it has multiple adjustment points and it cuts grass very well. It is also light weight.The string it comes with is strong and doesn’t break easily. The cons are pretty long. If you’re taller than 6 ft or even shorter you will be hunched over while weed eating because the handle only telescopes out so far. The charging plug gets warm to the touch when charging bc it is a phone charger for a large battery. The battery fully charged only lasts around 15 minutes. It takes an hour plus t...

Lightweight Trimmer/Edger
Would RecommendLightweight Trimmer/Edger is easy to switch between the two functions - Telescopic shaft is a plus very helpful - Plenty of power for its size and weight - Very maneuverable - The Battery Changer is unique - Very satisfied
Efficient light weight trimmer
Very nice little trimmer. Nice and light for ease of use. The 3amp battery will last 30+ minutes but not in thick heavy grass. Adjustable head is great for people of different height or for awkward positions. Really well balanced. Probably ideal for older adults or people with really small yards. For the listed price, it’s a good value. It would probably be underpowered for anything bigger than a 1/4 acre lot, though.
Light weight , easy to use edger-weed eater!
Would RecommendThe trimmer (24 volt 12 in telescopic shaft battery string trimmer)is light weight and can be adjusted for different angles which makes it fairly versatile. I used in the backyard on April 2 ,26 for edging, weed eating . The battery lasts well through the jobs with a full charge . I have been considering changing my yard equipment to electric tools and this helped with deciding. This tool would be a good choice for others thinking about starting the switch to battery powered outdoor equipment.
100 Out of 10! Great tool for trimming.
Would RecommendOh my! I love everything about this. It was easy to put together. It’s lightweight. You can adjust length and angles three different ways: the handle, the head and the shaft. You can cut high or deep into the dirt. And the edger, that’s my favorite part. There’s wheels and you adjust it so that you can trim edges easily. In total it took less time to cut my yard than my gas one. And the battery life is quite long. I have a three-quarter acre yard and I had a lot to do. It was still going strong ...
A Must-Have for Girls Taking on Yard Duty
Would RecommendOkay I’m not exactly a power tools girl, but this made me feel like one 😂 It was super easy to put together (huge win), and since my husband is always out of town, I needed something I could handle on my own and this is perfect for quick yard touch-ups. I love that it’s lightweight because other ones have totally wrecked my shoulder before. And the USB-C charging?? Obsessed. It just makes everything so much easier. Honestly, if you want something easy, not intimidating, and actually works.
Easy to use adjustable battery powered trimmer.
Would RecommendEasy to assemble with clear instructions. Head tilts from straight to 90*. Length adjusts and it shortens and folds up for storage. Can charge the battery via the included USB or with the included slide in charger. Can cut knee high grass easily.

style cuts along sidewalks. For more defined edge lines, a dedicated edger or a model with a rotating head may be a better fit.
