Kobalt 40v max brushless string trimmer review

[@SirCarlosMusicBMI]

And here I thought that this was going to be a boring video 😮 But I’m actually in the market for one and I really love kobalt already so you helped me decide. Thank you and God Bless,Carlos ✝️🙏❤️😊

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Thanks glad to help.

Kevin I went electric as well on my weed eater, my old gas one was so heavy, I made a strap for it, I zip tied it near the motor and 3/4 of the way down the shaft, the strap went over my neck and shoulder, and I pretty much just steered it with my hand, my shoulder and back carried the load, play around with a piece of rope tied in different places, to carry the load, I think Julie would love it.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Good idea Joe thanks.

[@carmenmariacortesmarin2664]

Good review Julie and Kevin. Nice going Julie.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Thanks Carmen

[@pudster4115]

I have this same tool...works really good for my more domestic grass (no homestead for me) . Blower is really good too 40v.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

We have a good bit of trimming to do and so far it works great and Julie doesn't mind using it which really helps me out, and we also have the blower and it also does a good job.

[@frankcarrerejr]

I have some Kolbolt 24 volt tools. I have a blower, impact driver, 4-1/2” grinder and a hedge trimmer. I love them all. I will keep adding to my collection as needed. Get her a shoulder strap, it will be a game changer.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Frank, yeah she definitely needs a shoulder strap they are a big help.

[@MrSTOUT73]

Last year I bought a Greenworks 60V trimmer and I love it. Works better than my old gas powered trimmer and my old corded electric trimmer. It also has two speeds will tear through almost anything. One nice feature is that it came with an adjustable shoulder strap which helps the arms a lot.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Wayne, sounds like a good trimmer , I need to get a shoulder strap for Julie also.

[@Hatch61]

The battery power tools have really come a long way. Looks like a good unit, thanks for sharing, be well my friend.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

So far it's working great I can't believe it.

[@Kelly-fm2io]

All my yard tools are kobalt and I love them ❤️

[@Robinson-Homestead]

They are good tools thanks for the comment.

[@BFbigfoot]

Can you show me how to work the hinge so the trimmer can be folded to shorter length to fit inside of a car trunk?

[@jeffbenjamin6480]

Just got one of these for the same reason. Wife can't start gas ones when Im not home. Seems to be a good investment so far.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

So far my wife loves it still works great thank you for the comment.

[@paulmuromachi4005]

Adding a handle extension does wonders to balance the weight.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Thanks for sharing.

[@Pete.Ty1]

👍👍👍Thanks both.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Our pleasure! Thanks Pete.

[@johnwoody4905]

good job and video. we have a 80 volt kobalt chain saw with 3 batteries it would have went thru all the batteries in 45 minutes. overload kicks in way to much so you lose a lot of time resettting it. when it's really cold it will not run at all. the 40 volts may be better. i hate all weed eaters so i will never buy one. i think i would write Julie on it and make that her job. happy fathers day. take care, be safe and well.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

John, I bought this trimmer just for her lol.

[@susana3226]

Please do a video of edging so we can see the other 50% of what the Kobalt is made for.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

I will see if i can get that video for you soon,thanks for watching.

[@samwise413]

Really hope this works out for me. I bought a 20v craftsman. And I have nothing good to say about it.except I may break it down and use the motor for something elts. They have gone down hill. I noticed you haven't posted another vid yet and this was 8 mo. Ago great ty

[@Robinson-Homestead]

New Video in the spring good weedeater

[@davidgibson9866]

Maybe a padded neckstrap to help take up the weight of the trimmer Enjoy the videos

[@Robinson-Homestead]

I think that is a good idea Dave.

[@queparkerqp]

Can you also do edges with this?

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Yes just turn the trimmer on it's side and it should do a good job for you.

[@arlenedrake9305]

I’m an 80 year old & I have this one runs I love it but it won’t release the new thread when I need to lengthen it so if it would do that I would like it

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Try to give it more throttle and bump it on the ground, i hope that helps you out.

[@michellem5647]

When did we stop saying weed whacking? I just bought this one too as my 1st ever weed whacker. Hope I find it easy too

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Good tool thanks for the comment and watching.

[@ritacristobal1285]

What made you decide to buy the 40v thn 80v? Still weighing which battery to buy?

[@Robinson-Homestead]

I didn't know they had an 80 volt battery our Lowes only had the 40 volt, thanks for watching.

[@ritacristobal1285]

@@Robinson-Homestead they have and you can order it online from Lowes. Thanks again

[@stevekeyes9402]

Its a wise man who gets his wife a comfortable grass trimmer!!

[@Robinson-Homestead]

You got that right lol

[@bridgetholbert]

I bought one of these one year ago. I really liked it but now i cannot find a replacement brush head for it. Lowe’s and Kobalt have been out of stock for quite awhile. I wouldn’t recommend it for that reason.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

I think my Lowe's have them would you like me to get one for you if they have them? Are you in USA?

[@bridgetholbert]

@@Robinson-Homestead yes that would be awesome. My model number for my Kobalt 40v is 1040b-03. Yes I’m in US in Ohio

[@nancywilson7476]

I borrow my son in laws kobalt. I ues it on the property I just bought. The battery last forever . I'm 68 female and it's a breeze to handle

[@Robinson-Homestead]

It was a good purchase we are happy with it.

[@unclefester6033]

I have one it works very well but you better get a 2nd battery🧐

[@Robinson-Homestead]

I do have 2 batteries but I have only used one do my grass. Works great thanks for the comment and watching.

[@tuscanyjc]

U are 10000000% correct on bumping on the grass or dirt. I didn't know that & it wore off the arrow to replace the string. NO WAY they didn't know that when making it (hard pass imo)

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Glad i could help and thanks for watching.

[@zyzzyz7035]

Model #?

[@amyfoltz7513]

To me it feels like the 24v has more power

[@Robinson-Homestead]

You maybe right not sure thanks for the comment.

[@marsco6119]

I cant beleive thats the first time your wife used a weed eater. She was a pro.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

I can't believe it either we had a lawn care business for 20 years and she never picked up a weed eater. She can trim the yard for the next 20 years LOL.

[@PTL1-yh9tj]

about 2 yrs ago I boughht an electric KOBALT... the spool came off and is broken! GOOD LUCK IN FINDING THIS MODEL to replace it ..yet a generic doesnt work either! SO now I have a good motor and no spool !!!!!! BE VERY CAREFUL

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Sorry to hear that,I hope this one doesn't break . Thanks for the heads up.

[@brucegoenawein581]

Reverse handle , it will lean back not forward 😂

[@scrambler69-xk3kv]

Do not want a trimmer with the motor built into the stringhead. It puts the weight of the motor far away from your body and after a while that weight works on your back. You want to buy a trimmer that has the motor up near the battery. Keeps the weight near the handle and it makes for a much more comfortable to operate trimmer. If you can hold the unit in the store to see just what I am talking about.
