Ratings & Reviews for Kobalt 40-volt max 15-in Straight Shaft Battery String Trimmer

Bad Power Trigger

I bought this for my wife. Unfortunately, the trigger has a problem keeping the unit running. Sadly, when I found the problem, I can't find my receipt. I did find on the internet, that this is a common problem. When you squeeze the trigger, it spins up then spins down again. You have to keep pumping the trigger to get it to work. My wife can't even use it. I wish I had found out about this problem before I purchased it.

Repair parts non-existent

Purchased on Apr 17, 2022 and I need a string head replacement C1101008-00. Couldn't find anything on line or at the local stores and I'm told the product is no longer carried.

Great deal

Great deal

No replacement spools available

The trimmer itself works fine. It can be a little awkward with the heavy battery. Why I gave it a low score: All those Kobalt replacement spools you see on the shelves near the trimmers? None of them are for this trimmer. You have to buy the bundles of string they sell, and you have to take that string and wind it around the spool yourself. There is no option to pop a spool out and replace it with a fully-strung spool. There is an item to replace the entire head, which is over $20 -- which is...

40-volt 15-in Cordless String Trimmer Review

This is a replacement for the same unit I purchased about 3 years ago, though it was rated for 5 years. That not withstanding, I liked it so much I bought another one anyway.

String Eater

I've had this weed eater for over a year. I had a choice at the time to buy an auto feed or a bump feed. I bought the auto feed. Wish I would have bought the bump feed. The reason why, whenever you take your finger off the power trigger and walk to another location in your yard, then push the power trigger to begin trimming, it automatically feeds trimmer line whether you need it or not. The other option is to keep your finger on the trigger and let the unit run while you're walking to another...

Not much draw on power

Works good. This is my second one

Bought this weed eater as a replacement. Couldn’t

Nice weedeater

Kobalt Addict

I have an older model of this cordless string trimmer and bought this one because of a special deal. It is easier to use than the older one! My brother tried it out too and he agrees with me!

It's very quiet.

It was very easy to use. It's not heavy like the gas-powered weed eaters.

Kobalt has mastered cordless yard tools.

I really like these Kobalt cordless yard tools. These Kobalt batteries are the best - they really last a long time. The tools themselves are high quality too.

Easy to operate, somewhat light weight.

I thought it came with the battery and charger, but it didn’t. I guess I should have read the description better. Luckily we had a spare battery.

That’s real nice I like the way work

Awesome, but..

Overall, I'm quite pleased with the trimmer I purchased. It turned out to be more powerful than I anticipated, which made the job much easier. The trimmer worked great and exceeded my expectations in terms of its performance. However, I was a bit disappointed with the condition of the product when it arrived. I had purchased it new, but upon opening the box, it was clear that it had been previously opened and re-taped. Furthermore, the metal on the handle of the trimmer had noticeable scratches...
