I find this unit to be very powerful and has full filled all my yard needs. Dewalt has been my contracting tool of choice and this unit did not let me down. Good job again Dewalt

[@user-bn5zt7fr9k]

I just bought the one for $299. After using it on my tall grass, the only complaints I have is it doesn't last long, so I will have to buy another battery. If you have more than 1 hour to do the job, get a second battery. If your to aggressive with cutting the long grass / weeds, the grass get stuck in the head, where I have to clear it when it slows down.😒

[@robertmeyer4744]

Once DeWalt introduced this trimmer and blower and the lawnmower .I got them and liked them so much I threw away my old gas tools . And the 60V runs my 20V tools ! even the old 18V system . Thank you for showing the power and run time of this trimmer. I will never go back to gas now !! Even my girlfriend(wife soon) loves using it. best part is I don't have to start engine for her !

[@Bob_Adkins]

I have a 20v DeWalt, and love it. It's plenty powerful for my yard, even on "low". I can't imagine needing more, unless you have serious weeds like Teespring. Best thing is, it uses cheap batteries I borrow from my drills, drivers, and saw. No giant batteries to fail and cost me a fortune.

[@alangoodwin1966]

[@1x4x93]

Bought one of these and wow, is it powerful! I had to get a more protective guard for the business end of this thing because it was hurling grass and other objects way too dangerously at high velocities. It made all the difference. I can cut very tall and thick grass with ease. Battery life is decent. The string reload system is different than what I was used to with other trimmers but it's easy enough. After seeing it at work in my yard, the neighbors keep asking to borrow it. 😁

The ol' garage sale purchased Homelite weed trimmer finally died after 5 years of use. Based on your video and the strong reviews in the comments, I was comfortable spending the $299 on it at Home Cheapo today. This thing... it's such a beast, I love it already after one day. I've switched from gas to battery for good. My only gripe is the installation instructions could be better put together as it was a bit confusing to follow, but was able to get it unboxed and put together for use within 30 mins. Aside from that, I'm so glad to not be yanking my shoulder out of socket and messing with fuel and oil and carburetors and all that nonsense. This DeWalt weed whip is a very happy addition to my home.

I have a 20 v 561 De Walt trimmer that cuts out after 10 minutes on high, I think it overheats . It could do with an indicator for when it is cool again , runs fine on low speed with bursts of high for tough undergrowth .

That was a close one. I just bought the 20 Volt version. Then I saw this video, for a brushless unit. I thought "Man, I screwed up. I always buy the best tool...and I got a second rater this time! Then you said my 20 V batteries won't work in this, and that made my day. I actually bought the best one I could without having to buy new batteries. I can live with that. Unless there is a Power Detect version out there. Dang it...if there is, don't tell me!!!

[@MrOpinionCantSignIn]

I have previously had 2-stroke, 4-stroke (surprisingly weak), drag the cord trimmers .. and to me this one keeps up, actually bests all let's not even talk 'corded', while fine for some normal city yard trimming, they are 'restrictive' gas is noisy and very high maintenance , oil, mix gas/oil, plugs and 'fuel lines' that fail .. That is the neat thing .. a cordless (& yes corded) can be in the back of your shed all winter without the slightest concern or prep work (This is something overlooked by many) but this only ages as it is used, not sitting I bought it as I was already using D-W tools giving me an extra battery and thereby making the tool 'inexpensive' ... taking down 12" grass and soft weeds it never slowed, in thick sturdy weeds it suffers like any string trimmer (I haven't gotten to my better line yet) as they 'flex' .... also , lots if heavy weeds cost battery time (same as more gas on gas trimmers) ... BUT THIS IS A BEAST NOW for commercial landscaping work , I wish people would get quiter using these, but having limited charging ability on the roaf (at minimum they'd need a 500Wcar power inverter to maybe recharge 2 cycles worth) This will be an investment as they'll need at least 3 to 5 batteries to make the day and that 800 plus the unit batteries carry 3 yr warantee , so over that time gas cost would add up too (in CA anyway) I will only have occasional need ... actuall doing some volunteer trimming since I have it - shows how much i enjoy the tool WELL WORTH IT

I’m fed up with gas powered trimmers. After years of messing with broken Ryobi’s and buying new power heads I bought a Stihl trimmer. It worked half way through the season before the catalytic convertor went ( yes a catalytic convertor in a gas trimmer). The guys at the parts place talked me into a cheaper muffler alternative and it worked fine for the rest of the season. I tried to fire it up this season and ended up having to fix carb problems and it still won’t run off idle. I literally took a 20# sledge hammer to the thing and vowed never to buy another gas trimmer again. I gave away all my ryobi attachments to a relative and I’m getting a dewalt 60v trimmer. I already have four 60v batteries from other dewalt tools to i’ll have plenty of spares. I’m just hoping I don’t have bad issues with the new trimmer. I’ve heard other guys using husky string spools with better results so I’m not opposed to modifying mine. I’ll post an update once I take possession and put it through its paces. I love Dewalt tools and own over 20 different 20-60v tools as I’m a well rounded tradesman and I live in the mountains where I restore and build cabins and mini houses on the side of one of my other jobs so cordless tools are mandatory in my more remote build site locations.

Don't forget! The clip on the battery housing fits 3/4 ply for easy hanging. The best feature is that you can mount any aftermarket parts on it. This model has the same mounting hardware as any good gas string trimmer.

The line is realy good . Its just the way the head is designed. You can go to lows and get a different head and replace it. It is easy and the line won't rip any more.

[@bikenut5282]

I have one of these, I love it! I'll agree the guard is too small. Also the string cutter is too close, it does have a smaller cutting diameter than most gas powered trimmers. Most all gas powered trimmers are great, but after about 3 years of use you will begin having starting issues (carburetor) no matter how good you take care of it. This one, you pull the trigger, it runs! It surprised me how long the battery lasts, even on high. However, I must disagree with the weight statement, it probably weighs about 1-1/2 times heavier than my old husky and 1-1/4 times heavier than the stihl (husky is the lightest one I have used, using it with one hand was no problem). But the weight is worth the trade off for the lack of aggravation starting it on those too hot summer days.

Wel, you asked for response, I'm giving mine from Hungary, Eastern Europe. I'd like to highlight that I'm a greenhead, I really love the electric future we're heading into, but.. it's expensive and still too weak. In my opinion, and of course for my workload. I cut higher grass than yours, to almost ground level. My brushcutter is an FS 350 (more specifically my dad's). It's strong, but loud and.. you know, gas powered. We work with these 4-5 hours a day, I usually do it non-stop (only refuel).and I'm not talking about lawns here, it's a bit further from the house and the growth rate there is insane. I really wanted to buy an FS 130 (I don't know if it's sronger than the DeWalt you showed) but it just doesn't fit. We could barely afford it with a small battery, but we really need a backpack one for sustained works, which is just insane. I'm not saying it's bad, I love them and all, the thing is, not everyone can maintain a lawn and rural, more poor regions just use $50 chinese mockup brushcutters because that's what they afford.

I have the 60v and have never had it overheat. I use it for probably 1 to 2 hours at a time.

I just turn it over and knock some of the grass out when I am through using it or see it clogged and have never had an issue. I really like this trimmer and the larger battery really comes in handy on my other tools.

[@datasith]

you mentioned the string is too brittle. any recommendations?

[@ToolReviewZone]

I just bought better string

[@singletrackrider1890]

Drop the string into a bucket of water for 24hrs. It's Nylon and will absorb some water and be less brittle.

Cool tip

Do you think it will scalp SOD to grade?

What is the venting down on the bottom by The Cutting head? I'm assuming that this is just like my Milwaukee and the motor is up top in the gear cases down at the bottom but why does it look like it's vented at the bottom or is it not vented and just looks like it? To me it looks like the ventilation slots that would be 4 forced air Cooling but I doubt that they would put any type of forced air down at the bottom where there's dirt and debris flying all around. It doesn't even make sense to put any type of venting even if it's just natural draft venting
