Hey good demo on the high weeds bramble by the drive ditch side. I need a new weed eater. I'm in rural area, have no plans of doing the whole property by no means, just around house and the drive ditch. but can't decide to go with battery yet. I do like the idea of the battery. I'm still looking though. Thanks for the video review.

I’m really impressed with the battery trimmers but it is best to have two batteries if you have quite a bit to do at once, seems on the bigger jobs I get about 95percent done on one battery and just need that little bit to finish up, lol. My Mom has a place in town and one battery will trim the whole place 3 or 4 times. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for doing this im looking to get one myself looks like it will get the job done.

It’s a good trimmer but you may want to check out the new version as Echo changed their whole battery lineup to 56v and the old 58 is not compatible, I have one of the new ones on pre order supposed to ship may 1st, I have the chainsaw in the new 56v and have been impressed

@@WilliamsonRidge hell i thought this was the new one lol thanks

[@WilliamsonRidge]

Yeah I bought it last fall thinking the same thing then found out they were introducing the new 56v line, they are actually doing a homeowner version and x-series which is the pro version the pro model will be DSRM-2600

I have this same model trimmer and I like using it, but why is it so difficult to remove the battery from the trimmer and then from the charger. Is there a trick to do that??

[@WilliamsonRidge]

Put some dielectric grease on the connectors, mine was that way too and just needed a little lubricant
