What I like about it is the trimmer starts every time.

That's what I love about you Dan and Eric. Out there in the winter whacking the crap outta weeds! Summers a coming!!!

That trimmer looks really good its awfully tempting sitting at my local Lowes

Another nice tool from dewalt. Looks very balanced. I'm glad you gave it a try outside!

thats a good looking weed eater, when i heard from you guys that DeWalt were coming out with some garden equipment I didn't know what to expect but so far I love the look of it, that sucker just sounded powerful when you pulled the trigger and it spooled up! looks nice and long so would be good for us taller guys and even the string is black and yellow!! Great video, I can't wait to see the update and the other tools in the line up! Cheers guys!

I have the regular 40v and it is a BEAST. Way more power than my Stihl and quiet.

It's a great trimmer! I look forward to using mine. On demand power. No pull starting. No idling from one part of he yard to the other.

Great review and a great tool. Works perfect and no fuss startup, no gas to worry about. This along with the free battery promotion they ran last month was the pecorlderfect time to buy. I also snagged a cordless blower and its more than adequate for my use. Great tool line!!

That's great, been waiting to see an actual vid of this bad boy, I'm about done with gas for the reasons you mentioned. Good job guys.

I am so excited about this tool line. I have no doubt that the 20v line of these will be in my garage.

That's a beautiful tool right there, all that black and yellow. It looks like it would be top heavy. I'm guessing as technology develops the batteries will get smaller and last even longer. Great video as always guys.

I NEED ONE! i have been waiting for this and the blower!!!

Even though I am a little bias towards Dewalt, this is definitely the nicest battery operated string trimmer that I have seen to date. Great first look! Can't wait to see more on it. I think that it will be a big performer among gas trimmers even.

Wow. I'm impressed. That thing looks really well built. The motor looks really small though.

I definitely think I'll pick up one of these since I plan on buying into Flexvolt

That thing is a beast. Nice review guys.

That looks like a beast. Crazy I never seen a 6 amp battery I want to see the hedge trimmer you guys talked about

looks nice. great video as always.

Great unit and nice looking trimmer obviously is Dewalt hahaha look yesterday I went to Homedepot and they have in promo the Echo G/C less battery power outdoor equipment. Look pretty cool to so check them out is 56v. Looking foward to see the rest of Dewalt outdoor equipment. MAY THE TOOLS BE WITH YOU!

I've always used gas but these electrics look pretty legit. I like how quite these run too

Bought one of these today. I got the 4.0 AH battery version ( to go with the Chainsaw and Blower ) Bought the Chainsaw first this spring to clear up some fallen limbs and cut up some firewood. That was great and I got so much done with one battery on a single charge. I bought the blower pretty much for a spare battery. These tools cost pretty much the same as a battery on its own !, the blower is pretty powerful, but it really eats batteries, so glad I had the Chainsaw battery for backup - wait, wasn't it meant to be the other way around ? Lol Was looking at the string trimmer too for a while, but I already had a good Toro weed eater, so kept talking myself out of it, but when I used it this last Monday it started leaking gas, so finally I had an excuse to get the trimmer lol What I'm wondering though, is where is my battery charger wall mount plate ??? I have 3 tools and 3 chargers now, and none of them had the wall mount plate - I'm thinking it only comes with the 6.0 AH battery kits ? Any opinion on that ? I checked the box the trimmer came in THOROUGHLY, and no bracket, so I was watching this video very closely to see where yours was, and it was just sitting there with the charger... none of my 4.0ah tools came with one. Bummer. I guess I'll just make my own..... #TIACREW

Looks really well built. The Ryobi 40V string trimmer is the only Ryobi tool I own and it is awesome. Should do a tool fight to see if I need to upgrade. Not having your string trimmer match your Dewalt drill...first world problems.

Are you guys going to get a Stihl unit to review?

How to adapt a cutting disc to a trimmer? Tanks, from Colombia

Looks like my old B&D model is about to get tossed to make room for that beast.

I saw these new tools at my local Lowe's store the other day. They seem like very sturdy tools, just not sure if average Joe homeowners would pay the price.

Man that thing looks well built and sounds powerful I just wonder how I could hook that up to my kids power wheels lol. TIA

That looks great. I would like to replace my gas unit with that. It would be nice not to have to worry about the oil level or how much gas I have left in the can.

It seems to be awesome and the price isn't that bad Its expensive but a really nice gas trimmer is in that price range think I want one but powers seems good I just need to know if the battery life is good enough for me

Awesome, I've been waiting for this video. Will you do one on the 20v?

Badass, would have loved to see a dual 20 volt battery system like makita though.

really an awesome landscape tool. price is definitely ok....i checked out the price for Bosch's 36V string trimmer which is already avaiable in Europa but its kinda double the price of the DeWalt trimmer. hopefully they gonna adjust the price to our US market :P same for the new blower. if they are gonna be pricy, then i go with the DeWalt line....40V or maybe 20V...we will see which battery line i like more, but its gonna be my first yellow tool

Very nice better then mixing gas, I guess run time will be the sink or swim moment for most pros since charge time might be a little long to top off between professional jobs..you could always get multiple batteries but sure there pricey Boeing 6.o and 40v

You guys are funny. Good video

If your a power tool guy this bad boy is perfect. If your a lawn pro and been using a stihl fs 70 trimmer...well, you might laugh. Personally, I dig the Dewalt!

T.I.A style #1!!

Pretty sweet tool. I just wished theyd adopt Makita's 2 18v battery system...

which one better ? EGO , 60v Dewalt , 40 v dewalt , or ECHO 56 v( there are 2 versions now )

As soon as you the test the battery . Let us know how long it will last cutting . I really want to get one, but worried the battery won't last cutting . Thanks ,guys

Where are you Milwaukee?

how much battery backup

Could you comment on your opinion on the difference between the Dewalt 40v tools and the Ego 56v tools? Specifically the String trimmers and the blowers.

I really really think you guys should do some stihl reviews

Great vid u guys. What are the chances Dewalt makes a mower or hedge trimmers.?

This this looks surprisingly powerful. Although for the price, I'll take my gas Husky. And I'm not really sure how a pro is expected to use this unless it has all day battery life or they carry around 15 charged batteries with them.

Ok? for the small yard homeowner , and if u need parts they usually cost as much as a new one.

Not bad at all.

just a question.. how do you know its the best of the best by just looking at it? you didn't even test it lol.. just wondering if you had some super duper skill that i need to work on lol

HOW HEAVY IS THAT BEAST ?

what about line replacement, do you have to buy a special cartridge?

I'd have to use it myself to drop $330 compared to a $300 gas trimmer. I am definitely interested though

In the dead of spring huh? That's funny. Do you have the differences in that one and the 13" that sells for 199? Anyway nice tool, I would like to have that one.

You guys are hilarious.

How do you think the batteries will hold up during the winter when there not being used? Will they die a slow death?

Wow before it was out of the box, you said if you want the best of the best. some review had your mind made up before you even tried it

Will that 6ah battery work with the DCD790?

dont know how pro it is with that line diameter

Is it compatible with the flexvolt?

Hey guys, I enjoyed this video. I am interested in this tool. I have a couple of questions maybe you can answer for me. Can you comment on the battery, specifically how long it can last and how long it takes to charge? Thanks.

I don't think this will work like our Echo gas trimmer in this big Texas lawns

Hey guys , what is the weight of this with the battery in ? Thanks .

this really nice. I'd rather them just have 2 20v batteries on it

Nice don't know about using battery powered for landscaping tools, but what they should make is a adapter for that fat ass battery so I can use it on my drills

I got emails from dewalt about this and there other landscaping tools

Looks better built then the ego i have

Using a Milwaukee knife on a DeWalt product?!!!? Lol it looks like you can hang it up knid of like that battery charger on the bottom of it where the battery goes in. Its like a little grove looking thing.

Nice video fellas. I'm old school and prefer my gasoline and oil mixed Echo. Later

*My friend is in our late 60"s🌿 **allabout.wiki/DEWALT** and we are huge DEWALT fans and have been for several years. We have more than DEWALT tools. This weed eater was just what we needed. I opened the box at **2:30** and by **3:10** I was trimming weeds and I am not handy. I trimmed for nearly an hour on the same small battery. We had a larger model and gave it to our son-in-law because it was just getting too heavy for us. This has very balanced weight and we love it.*

I will keep my sthil FS90R, that's professional!!! electric probly not.

the guard is laughable...it is also far less powerful than a real gas trimmer. with that said, for my needs it's perfectly fine ,and i love the cordless concept.

359 dollars you might as well get a commercial husqvarna, those dewalts are not half as good,if you have a big property to do that dewalt would be nothing but a nuisance
