Did you run out of money? Why are you talking about a shitty weed whacker? Whats up with the house?

Thanks for doing a long term review. I wish dewalt customers need a way to give feedback on items. I'm on the Dewalt platform, use the tools/equipment daily, and have come across design flaws that seem impossible to have missed if the tool had been tested in the real world prior to coming on the market. For instance, the cordless vac DCV580. The suction hose, and outlet air port are on the same side of the vac. While using the vac, and pulling the suction hose toward the area you are wanting to vacuum, such as a pile of sawdust, the outlet port faces the same direction and blows toward the pile of sawdust. You can place the port to face the opposite direction, but in doing so, you shorten the reach of the hose considerably...and the unit naturally pulls back around until the port is once again facing the pile you are trying to pick up. The design flaws take an amazing tool and turn it into a good tool with issues that have to be constantly dealt with. I really want one of these trimmers, but with the two flaws you mentioned, I probably wont because I don't want a tool that's going to increase my problems. If I get a new tool, I'd like it to save time and headaches.

Thanks for the feedback! I also have the vacuum, I did a review on it with some other gripes but actually haven't had that problem.The blower points 90 degrees from the suction hose inlet, so in my experience pulling the hose rotates the vacuum and the blower points away from where you're working. I've used Milwaukee's and definitely prefer it either way though, both for how it packs up and the suction power.

I was impressed with the DeWalt trimmer line , so I decided to stick with it . I've always used larger lines on commerical gas models 1.05 ,.95 but I'm not going to be edging with it, and because it's so tough I can get away with the .80 DeWalt line. I think it helps the battery life, not that that an issue for a small yard , I could have gotten the 6ah battery and still have plenty of run time and less weight than the 9ah .

For the bump feed, spend the 30 bucks to buy an Echo Speed Feed. Absolutely the best system in the market

Thank you for your review. I have several dewalt battery tools, and already owning the batteries made my decision easier. Just ordered one for heavy weeds on a steep slope. We’ll see

There's another Dewalt with a wider debris shield and a multi-tool attachment pole.

I think it's important to mention that on the flexivolt batteries, running it on a 60v tool like this gets you a 1/3 of the ah on the sticker, so the 12ah battery is actually 4 amps on a 60v tool. DeWalt doesn't make that super clear (of course) for people like me who are damn near illiterate when it comes to that stuff.

The guard is an absolute joke, I bought a genuine DeWalt guard that is much bigger, what should have been fitted in the first place, I can strim with shorts on & I don't get any debris at all on me.....
