Ratings & Reviews for CRAFTSMAN V20 20-volt max 13.0-in Straight Shaft Attachment Capable Battery String Trimmer

impressive

extremely light, great long lasting power. everything about it 5 stars.

Very happy with this product!

I've had this Battery-powered cordless trimmer now for almost 2 full lawn care seasons and I have been EXTREMELY pleased with it. I don't often write reviews but I felt this product deserved it. I struggled for years with the gas weedeaters...trying to keep them started & running, messing with the string every month or so (sometimes during each use), it was very frustrating. I wanted to try out the battery-powered options and I would definitely recommend this weedeater. After about the 5th o...

Worth the extra cost

I was debating between this and Item: #1130004 Model: #CMCST910M1. (The brushed one.) I'm pretty sure paying a little more was worth it. I'm able to do my entire yard with the included battery but I also extra batteries from my other tools. The low power setting is more than strong enough and I rarely flip the switch to high. The bump feed works without the need for profanity. The less expensive model has a push button feed that some reviewers claimed broke. Edges well by simply turning tur...

Great trimmer for the price

I have a bunch of the 20v tools already, so this was a no brainer for me to at least try this out before buying something more expensive. The good: Lightweight, 2 power settings, long battery life (5000sqft yard, doesn't even eat up half of the 4.0 Ah battery), pressure sensitive trigger (many cordless trimmers don't have this btw), easy length adjustable shaft, and easy to move support handle up and down, easy to replace string, relatively quiet. The bad: Unbalanced. The head is heavier than th...

Does Awesome

Impressed with Craftsman on this one. Does a great job for an around the house battery operated weed trimmer. Far better than the one I got a few years back.

Great Weed Wacker for home use

I bought one a few days ago and i was very hesitant in doing so. I was affraid it wouldnt have the power i liked but i was wrong. It has two power settings low and high and honestly i can do my entire yard in low. I kick it up to high for very thick stuff. I have about an acre of land and it gets all around my house, seperate garage, maibox, ditch and a few trees and still has over half the battery left. If you only cut your grass once a month and have a ton to weed eat you may want to go gas bu...

Worst purchase ever!

Worst trimmer purchase I've ever made. Bumb line feed is pathetic ,

Works as advertised

Overall it works very well. For heavy growth I recommend you use high speed. Would be better if the guard was a little bigger. Use it for edging, trimming grass etc away from tree base and trimming grass at base of my rear fence.

Highly impressed

I initially got the lower model Craftsman trimmer...returned it and got this one. I'm very happy. This thing rips! Much stronger motor and double string puck! It's much stronger than the gas one i had been using for years. The collapsible shaft is nice for storage, and the small battery makes it light and easy to use... I'd highly recommend this one. The only issue i have is, I don't know why they put such small shields on them... It could use a bigger debris guard/shield

Line feed not working

The line feed will not advance after pressing button multiple times. It also feeds itself when spool is full. Returning it though disappointed because battery life for the 4amp is great last's 40 mins on low settings.

The battery life outlasted me!

I'm really love this battery operated string trimmer. It is lighter than the gas powered one I had and the battery life is more than enough for me. The battery charges pretty quickly and it is very easy to operate.

Light weight trimmer; heavy duty performance

Purchased to replace my gas power very heavy trimmer. At age 88 just wore me out in short order. I can no longer use a saw type blade as I did on the old one but this works on the majority of thousands of feet, yes thousands, of trimming.

Craftsman String Trimmer

My first cordless trimmer. Was pleasantly surprised with the duration of the charge (about an hour) and the overall performance. Every bit as good as my old gas trimmer. Plus no fuss in starts and no messy gas to deal with. I'm a convert!

Overall seems like a great trimmer. Battery lasts about 45 minutes. The first time I used it the spool head came off and I lost the spring. Still looking for a spring. Luckily I had another spool head that also fit, so I am still using the weed eater. I recommend you buy a second battery, so you can get a normal size yard done without waiting for the battery to recharge.

Poor Quality and won’t last as Advertised!

Housing melted at Spindle Opening and the Battery only lasts 15 minutes although i did get 20 minutes once.
