What's going on everybody Rob here with a little video on my 20 V weed Wacker. This is a review of my craftsman 20 V weed Wacker well some you people calling weed eaters but I more or less think they whack the weed instead you eating the weed LOL either way I'm sold out to craftsmen and their 20 V system. I have a bunch of Craftsman 20 V accessories because I have four craftsmen 20 V batteries. Therefore I bought this to craftsmen 20 V weed Wacker or craftsmen 20 V weed eater. I bought it because I get tired of fighting with the gas when trying to get the gas when started therefore I just went ahead and bought this electric one. Now I will tell you it does not have the power of a gas weed Wacker or a gas weed eater. But if you have a regular residential size property this will get the job done. I do not use more than one battery with this craftsmen weed Wacker I am able to get all the lines that I want around the edges of the grass and I whacked down all the grass that sticks up high along the side of the garage. I am sold-out to this Craftsman weed Wacker. In the beginning it took a while for me to get used to because like Tim the tool man Taylor I am used of the gas powered beer motors. But I will tell you it is a lot easier just to push a button and go and that's what I get with this craftsmen weed Wacker. Thanks for watching,
Rob here a.k.a. Trev2323

I had one of these given to me this spring. I’m an avid stihl guy and have quite a bit of stihl commercial equipment including weedeaters. I threw this in the garage and never gave it a second thought. I was bored one night in the garage and put the battery on charge and took it with me the next day to weedeat at my other property around my cabin. I was actually impressed how well it done I was able to do everything on a single charge. This will be my weedeater from now on at the cabin. They have their place for some this is all they need. Now will it keep up with my commercial stihl ones? No but that’s not what it was designed for.

I just bought one and got it today. Easy to assemble. Thanks for the instruction on how to start it. I am charging my battery now. I see from the comments I need to get more batteries. This was a very helpful video. I am a 71 year old female and wanted something lightweight and easy to use. Didn't want to deal with the gas type and pulling to start it. especially since gas is so expensive now. This is really good for my small yard. Thanks so much!

Thanks bunches. Great review. Just purchased one yesterday and couldn't figure out how to get the string to feed. Thought it was operator error. 😂 Actually pulled it apart to manually pull more out then cut excess. And, you are right about that safety button. I have never used equipment to maintain yard. Usually find myself crawling around on hands and knees pulling up weeds. 🥵 Too much!! Again, your review is very helpful. I may not have to return it after all. Blessings!

Nice video. I'm not sure if you noticed, but that pull to unlock thingy that lets you extend the length. It also lets you lock in the head upside down or sideways for edging. That should make pulling that $#!% safety catch mutch easier, since you don't have to flip the handle upside down and all over the place.

I have one and it works great especially with a bigger battery but now my problem is it's feeding the line too much or too fast and the spool isn't lasting they way it used too the spool runs out like in 10 minutes. Any thoughts of this problem?
@artvandelay8090
@artvandelay8090 3 жыл бұрын
I bought this one and sent it back. The line feed doesn't work, it has a design flaw. It's got this little spring and hook mechanism inside the line spool housing that is supposed to pull the spool back each time it advances by a gear tooth. The spring is too weak for its intended purpose and as a result the line doesn't feed out when you press the line feed button. If it's a model that doesn't have the line feed button, it's supposed to feed out every time you start it up spinning. Either way, it doesn't work. I saw a lot of reviews of this product and they all said the same thing: line feed doesn't work. I'd recommend getting the brushless model that Craftsman makes with the bump head instead of this one. The brushless motor lasts longer and also provides more power using the same 20V battery and the bump head works better.

i loved the push button feed model, but that stopped working. I could edge so fast. I have three models, an auto feed that feeds out too much, one that doesn't feed, and the push button feed that stopped working. I really like them, they're light, and i was able to get all jobs done with it. Time to move on. 3 trimmers with no feed system. I'm tempted to get another push button feed, that's how much i like them. Undecided. Might go kobalt 15", but then i'll have the craftsman batteries not being used.

It takes anywhere from 20-30 minutes at least for the battery to fully charge, but you only get about 20 minutes (at most) from each battery. If you're looking to buy, I'd recommend getting 2-3 batteries and making sure they're on the charger while you're weedeating so you can hotswap them on the fly.
