What Customers Are Saying

The product has a lightweight design and is easy to use, with effective "bump feed" line advancement. However, some users report issues with battery life and problems with the trimmer head or line getting stuck or breaking. Overall, the trimmer seems suitable for light-duty trimming in smaller yards, but may lack power and runtime for more demanding tasks.

Good design with light weight.

Would Recommend

This is a light weight hedge trimmer. I like the front and back triggers to prevent accidental activation of the unit. The blades are sharp and had no problems with cutting through brush.

Good product.

Would Recommend

Very pleased and impressed with its power for a battery operated trimmer. Works as good as my ac powered trimmer but without the pain of the cord.

PWRCORE 20 HEDGE TRIMMER

Light weight and very sharp. Long lasting battery. Used approximately 40 minutes and battery was only about 3/4 depleted. Great product. Exceeded expectations.

Powerful machine but needs some refinement.

Would Recommend

Very powerful and fairly well balanced. Shaft is about 6 inches too long for me; I am 5 ft-8in tall. Line loading works well but I found that the line tangled inside the housing one time out of 8 uses.

Not worth the money

Would Not Recommend

Ive used this 5 times. The third time the head broke so the string on one side wouldn’t stay out. I had to constantly open and restring. The 5 time the whole head busted out of the frame. Not worth the trouble.

Easy thread

Lightweight. Innovative easy thread system. Good power. Don't like continuously pressing 2 buttons to keep it running.

Great Lightweight Unit - Gets The Job Done.

Would Recommend

I was faced with either buying a new battery and charger for my existing string trimmer or a new Skil unit. I wanted this unit to work since I have 5 other of the Skil PWR 20 hand products (Drill, Circular saw, jig saw, fan and sander) and lots of chargers! I am not disappointed. The unit works well and "tap" string advance is working as well.
