What Customers Are Saying
Customers praise this cordless trimmer's impressive cutting power and lightweight design, with many noting it handles thick weeds and edging tasks easily, often matching gas models on yards up to one-third acre. The brushless motor and bump-feed system earn consistent appreciation. However, battery life proves inconsistent—typically 15 to 25 minutes on high settings—prompting many to recommend purchasing a second battery. Durability concerns emerge around plastic components like the spool cap and guard, which some report crack easily. Despite these drawbacks, most customers remain satisfied with overall performance and convenience.

Would RecommendNice power, and so much nicer than the one-string Craftsman trimmer.

Appreciate the new head design
Would RecommendNew design to head looks and feels much better with a more durable governor. Had the old model that was very light but after 2 years the plastic fatigue prevented the governor from engaging. This design added a few more ounces of weight but much more durable

Replacement Spools
Would Not RecommendWhere on earth do you get a replacement spool for this ?? I have been trying everywhere. I just bought this at the end of 2020 and no spools can be found. I don't have money to waste, buying a new one is not in my budget when I just bought this a little more then a year ago. Not cool Craftsman

Trimmer spool?
Would Not RecommendI tried respooling the trimmer and trimmer spool continues to unwind. I unscrewed trimmer head and replace with another brand and thread pattern is different. I am having a difficult time finding a replacement spool parts or adapter / fix for this item. Otherwise until now trimmer worked Great.

Great quality brand
Would RecommendI like the retracting length but wished it could go a bit longer. The the low setting is too weak for most applications so I use the high for most task around the yard.

This tool has convinced me to leave gas trimmers!
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had my doubts about going cordless for outdoor lawn equipment. I just didn’t think the power would be there. This trimmer sent me on a path of getting rid of all my gas powered lawn equipment and going battery powered cordless. Plenty of power, no more fooling with engine starting issues, no maintenance, what’s not to like? Hit the trigger and start weed whacking! I have since replaced all my outdoor power equipment with the Craftsman V20 sy...
