Kobalt 24 Volt Weed Eater / Leaf Blower Combo Review

[@goodwater2020]

I got kit on sale at Lowes today for 149. It's super strong and light. Game changer! I've always used gas tools also. Brushless motor is mean! Only draw back I've seen is how long to charge battery. I need second one now. Very nice tool combo n was able to blow off debris when finished. Thanks alot Bud!

[@SeanOzz]

Appreciate it. I was surprised also. I wish the blower was a little stronger and the line for the weedwacker lasted longer. I might need to try a different type.

[@saurabah]

Thanks for creating this review. How is it doing after 3 yrs now ? I’m thinking between this combo at $150 vs ego 56v ($279). What’s worth the money for my 6k sq ft yard..

[@SeanOzz]

It’s held up great

[@saurabah]

@@SeanOzz thank you for your quick reply🙏🏼

[@TheFozzwad]

Why don't any of these string trimmer reviews talk about reloading string? Honestly, that's the make or break for any trimmer I've had.

[@SeanOzz]

I guess because it was pretty easy so I didn’t think anything of it.

[@robsarchery9679]

Good video

[@SeanOzz]

Thanks

[@SunriseWaterMedia]

A dog blower too! That's funny, Sean.

[@SeanOzz]

Lol. Someone had to make it. Lol

[@mixenriquez]

My wife brought me 1 yesterday as a father's day gift. It is really great for the price. Quality is OK and it really performed well in my yard.

[@SeanOzz]

i have been impressed also for the price. my second summer with it and going strong.

[@aliciasimpson7058]

Thanks for the review. Saw it, bought it, my 13 year old daughter assembled it and I (the mom) used it. I've never used a trimmer and did a pretty good job edging my lawn. The blower is perfect for lawn trim cleanup. Both pieces are light weight.

[@SeanOzz]

So glad it was helpful. I love how light the weed Wacker is. Mine is still going strong.

[@dannyiscool8112]

Very nice review. After watching this I will go out and purchase this item! Thank you so much. I also subscribed to your channel.

[@SeanOzz]

Glad it was helpful. Hope you enjoy my other content here in the mountains.

@@SeanOzz I will definitely make some time to view some of your other videos. Greetings from Southern California!

[@SeanOzz]

Hey. I used to live in Huntington Beach.

[@dannyiscool8112]

I’m in Riverside County. I just bought that Kobalt set this evening!

[@jeffmurnahan]

How does it do with grass that grows up against bricks that clumps up real quick? My murray weed eater just smacks it basically

[@SeanOzz]

I've had no problems with that.

[@PnwOnTour]

$129 online right now until the 7th, I’m impressed for light to medium duty, soooooo nice to trim the lawn without cranking away, I can actually move faster being it’s lightweight compared to a gas unit.

[@SeanOzz]

not a bad buy at all!

[@PnwOnTour]

I’m getting the 24v tire inflator next 💨

[@MicoGhostTheOldCodger]

I just bought the Kobalt 80 volt weed whacker, and boy does it work. Actually cuts bigger weeds than my gas powered weed whacker, and a LOT more convenient.

[@SeanOzz]

that was the one i was debating getting. figured it would be a power house and the battery would work with the mower if needed. then i saw this one and for the price i had to try it. i seriously thought it would suck and i would return it and get the 80. it did the job and i kept it. the battery just barely last long enough to do the yard and blow the clippings.

[@ectoplasmicentity]

My dad bought that combo set plus a kobalt lawn mover and he is absolutely happy he bought them. I'm thinking of buying own set because I'm getting tired of driving to his house to pick up the equipment and drive it back everytime I do my yard.

[@SeanOzz]

for the money it is great!

[@jakesmith9885]

How much did you pay

[@SeanOzz]

I tell you in the video how much. 🤔

[@fordfan3179]

I carry the Kobalt 24V 1/2" impact gun in my truck for swapping out tires so I was interested in sticking with this battery platform. I'm phasing out my B&D 18V system I've been using for almost 12 years . I have a very heavily landscaped 1/2 acre corner lot. While not completely impressed with the blower, it does look like it would be good for drying the bike.

[@SeanOzz]

Yes. I do wish the blower had a touch more power. Besides that it does work for most applications.

[@gravis2000]

I bought that combo for $99.00 special at Loews and it does great job. Like what others have said the blower goes through the battery faster but it comes with a 4.0 amp battery and charger with the kit.

[@SeanOzz]

That's a great price.

[@greggmcelveen4113]

I always look for reviews before I buy just about anything and yours was the only one I could find. Thanks for taking the time to make this video. You sold me!

[@SeanOzz]

so glad it was helpful. it's not my normal content but when i went to buy it i tried to find a review and had no luck at all finding one so i made one. thanks for letting me know it was helpful.

[@TECHDRONEMEDIA]

Nice, it’s pretty handy battery powered, mine is with a cord

[@SeanOzz]

I used a gas one before. No cords are nice.

[@troypurnell7479]

Thanks for the review and demo only one i could find for that model now i can go and get one. Awesome video.

[@SeanOzz]

Glad I could help. i made it because i could not find a review for it myself and wanted to to buy it. figured maybe it might help a few people in the long run.

[@juanjo322]

I got this kit last week and it just didn’t work well enough for me. The trimmer kept stopping and no it wasn’t because the grass was super high. I’ve read online that these are hit or miss. Mine missed. I returned it... don’t know what to get at this point, for the price point I was hoping it would work out

[@SeanOzz]

Exchange it for the same thing. Mine is doing great summer number 2. At this price I could have bought a new one every summer and not complained. Lol

[@juanjo322]

Sean Ozz I will do that, I appreciate your feedback! Thank you !

[@SeanOzz]

If the replacement fails. Then I am not sure what to suggest. All the others I looked at were a bit more money.

[@practicalguy973]

@@SeanOzz With anything there can be batches of product from manufacturing that may have defective parts or assembly processes. If you've ever worked in a factory you understand the machines that make parts and products wear out and need service eventually. So if you end up with a product that passed QC and sold in stores within weeks of something failing in the manufacturing facility, it may have that hit and miss issue. Best thing to do is go to another store and better yet in another city far away to do the exchange and hope you get stock from a different batch. That does not solve everything if its a crappy product design but sounds like the brushless trimmer is decent long term!

[@practicalguy973]

I should have also said it could be a one off issue and exchange at the same store from the same manufacturing batch could be fine also. The method I explained previously is just another level of ensuring you get a better product.

[@jdub7173]

I bought the blower just for drying my car. I will be testing in a few days. Let’s see how it goes.

[@SeanOzz]

Ha ha ha. Never thought of that use for it.

@ J Dub exactly how I ended up here, looking to dry my car. Are you happy with it?

Ha ha. I could not find a single review when I wanted to buy this so hoped if I made one it would be helpful.

[@SeanOzz]

Thanks for watching. I know this is way off my normal content but i could not find any reviews before purchasing one so thought i would help share if it's worth getting or not and saving that $$$$. I have seen it sell from 129.00 up to 169.00

[@gmeister03]

Kobalt has a good system

[@SeanOzz]

i've been happy with mine.

[@brianj123458]

I bought a 20v max dewalt used it for 3 hours in heavy weeds looked down and the brushless motor was smoking I let off the button let is cool down put the battery back in hit the button it did not work. I took back the 20v max and traded it in for 60v flex brought it back ran it for about 2 hour and I was very impressed with it but the true test for it will be next week I have 4 batteries for it and 5 achers of weeds that are atleast 4ft tall lol

[@SeanOzz]

Thanks for sharing.

[@crimmy0204]

Not a bad little system for a small property, quite a bit of power out of that 24volt system. Blowers tend to crush batteries, trimmers are quite efficient.

[@SeanOzz]

The blower is the weak point for sure. I have just enough juice to trim blow than mow.

[@zimgregor355]

My kids are always forgetting it outside so I just bought a Stihl gas last week plus I have 7 acres of land to take care of. 😋

[@SeanOzz]

Gas is the only way with that size yard.

[@miyahollands6136]

Hi Sean. Over in the UK, a weed wacker is called a strimer. Which got me thinking 🤔, when does a weed wacker become a strimer and what are they called when in/over international waters? Maybe that's why you never see them in those in-flight magazines! 😏 On a side note: Leaf blowers must be in the same category as a vacuum cleaner. A vacuum cleaner is only great - when it sucks!

[@SeanOzz]

Ha ha ha. Yeah. We call them strong trimmer. Weed wacker and a weed eater over here. The blowers only good if it blows. Ha ha love it.

Very impressive. I have the Erbauer branded version here in UK . The Kobalt and Erbauer brands sold through Lowe's in the U.S. and Screwfix here in the U.K. are actually made by Chervon the company also makes Ego and skil.

How long does the blower last on the one 4ah battery? Are these both still working good, or have you had any issues with either of them?

[@SeanOzz]

no issues with them yet. in the next week or two my grass should be high enough to need them again. i can not recall how long the battery last but i get the weedwacker and blower on one battery for my small yard.

[@whosnext2005]

@@SeanOzz can you tell me how many Wh the 4ah battery is? It usually will tell you on the bottom of the battery.
