I fixed the vibration issue on my Milwaukee. I added two chunks of gray foam with two sided tape, where the battery slams home like a clip in a gun. The foam acts like suspension. Enough foam that when u release the battery it pops out a little. It’s much better now

I picked up the Milwaukee trimmer and blower, tool only, end of season display models a few years back for $99 Cdn ea. and have been very happy with both. As I was already heavily into the Milwaukee platform, with plenty of batteries this was a simple decision for me, and glad I did. One 9Ah battery runs both tools for front and back yard as well as cleaning the driveway of debris...perfect for a 1960's size house lot.

Thanks for the very informative comparison video I can speak for most people that took the time to watch it when I say thanks, if you still got the Milwaukee and are trying to give it away to one of your lucky viewers I would love to have it and put it to good use around my property hopefully you can consider making me the lucky person to receive such a blessing! Thanks again keep up the videos brotha ✌🏻

My Milwaukee string trimmer is amazing. Super powerful. Had a kobalt pos before. No complaints. Good runtime with 9.0

Your the only person to bring up the vibration problem most definitely nice to know considering Milwaukee and there price points to be a bit more great video

Over all great review I like them both. I am partial to Milwaukee, All my tools are Milwaukee , They get the job done. I love the attachments edger/ trimmer. I think there's a little more power with the M18 12 amp. Thank you for the review🙋‍♂️👍🧰🔧🇺🇸

No problems with my Milwaukee string trimmer i reccomend it and would buy again i am currently buying all the attachments.

I appreciate the advise great video bud

EXCELLENT REVIEW!!! I WILL NOW BE RETURNING THE EGO CARBON SHAFT POWER LOAD TO H/D FOR EXCHANGE TO THE DEWALT 60V. MY ENTIRE TOOL PLATFORM IS RED, BUT HAVE BEEN LOOKING AT THE DEWALT 60V GRINDER AND TABLE SAW. SO, AS A DIY HOMEOWNER I ONLY NEED THE ONE 60V 3.0 AMP HR. BATTERY FROM THE TRIMMER. THANKS FOR TAKING TIME TO PRODUCE/SHARE VIDEO!

I'm goin with Milwaukie 2nd Gen since Dewalt batteries suck and same with their customer service. Plus Milwaukie heads now are interchangeable with a pole saw, hedge trimmer, attachments, etc. Thanks for the vid!

Great vid, I never gave thought about vibration.

I just bought a DeWalt string trimmer. I am still running the stock line and it works well for my use. I did all around the house and fence line and the 3 ah pack only went down one bar. You have to be careful because it is very easy to scalp the grass even on low speed. The new trimmers have a larger self wind head that can carry 25 feet of line. The motor vent got slightly dirty with one use but it was no big deal to clean it after use.

Thanks for the comparison, especially some of the “flaws” are of particularly interest. Would love to see makitas X2 outer rotor BL motor unit in this mix. That’d round up the Home Depot’s offerings of the “pro” cordless tool companies.

100% agree with you, I bought the Milwaukee and a week later I returned it. Vibration is of the charts! Noone needs arm problems.

Nice video, I have a De Walt and also use a brush and before I put it away, it helps ot use a hand held vacuum cleaner on the grill and it's like new then 😀

Any differences for the dcst972x1 trimmer from the one you are reviewing in this video?

I like the terminology and scientific references, keep the reviews going bro I was wondering on foam grip on DeWalt vs Milwaukee rubberized grip on longevity and comfort

I have the Milwaukee.. not sure what vibrations you speak of. It is a smooth and powerful eater for me. Love it

Hello Do you know is there any diference between 54v dcm571 and 60v us version I saw that they have different rpms?

Great video buddy I'm sold on the Walter dewalt.

How’s the battery runtime on the flexvolt?

My 20 volt Dewalt motor went bad after 2 years and I hardly used it. My Milwaukee M18 with a quick lock with the hedger and a little chainsaw. thing is a beast! I’m going to get the trimmer option and throw the Dewalt away. The only way you’re not going to get a motor dirty is to cut invisible grass. Thanks for Video!

Mines have zero vibration.. The damn thing is a beast..and I don’t like the trimmings left by the Dewalt

Is it worth buying the extended warranty on the DCST970X1?

Both the 1st and 2nd gen Milwaukee Fuel trimmer (the solid shaft, and the quick lock version) have the motors in the rear, where the battery pack goes. The “Brushless” Milwaukee trimmer, which is a 2 piece but is NOT quick lock compatible - has the motor mounted right above the trimmer head, similar to the Dewalt version. Its important to realize that trimmer will not work with other attachments. I personally own both the 1st and 2nd gen fuel models - and i can say with the largest trimmer string your head will allow - those trimmers easily knock down thick, tall weeds. If you need to change the trimmer heads - (esp the old gen 1 without the speed load feature) - i suggest upgrading to the echo speed feed model. They get better online reviews than the Milwaukee speed feed version, are slightly cheaper (at my time of purchase), are usually stocked in Home Depot, and are Made In The USA. I believe (if i remember right) the Echo will even take the next size up trimmer string from the .095, which is the .105 line. The Milwaukee Trimmer basically needs the larger HD battery packs to get the most from it, not the small old 5.0 some kits were sold with. The vibration on the Milwaukee was never an issue for me. They use the same design as any gas powered trimmer. I wanna say the newer gen 2 quick lock version doesn’t vibrate as much. It would make sense as the spinning shaft has to be 2 pieces, and would be support at the top and bottom of each section - which would be the middle when assembled. The edger attachment works well also.

How did I miss you demonstrating the Milwaukee. The vibration you refer to is not really noticeable with the new Milwaukee trimmer for some reason compared to what you demonstrated. Thank You

To switch the DeWalt to .95 line, do you need to drill anything out or does it fit in the stock/existing holes?

Which one is the lightest of the Dewalt and Milwaukee ?

I have the Milwaukee line trimmer and I haven’t noticed any vibration?

How is the DeWalt trimmer on a wet swale in a front yard

I just bought the Milwaukee from Ace Hardware. The first hour using it had no vibration but then the second hour the battery vibrates just like this one. It leaves white dust on the batter assumingly thats small plastic dust.. It seems to have plenty of power but I am worried about the longevity of this thing. I paid $250 for just the trimmer and one battery.

If you don't mind when you do the vibration test make sure to take all the string out just to help eliminate one other Factor but yeah that Milwaukee be kicking around too much that DeWalt looks way smoother nice test bro

I own the Milwaukee but not notice vibration maybe be you got a defective unit???

Today was my first day using my 60v dewalt wish I would have known its default before hand

Hi, could you tell me who has more power Dewalt 54v or Ego 56v string trimmer?

Buying the Milwaukee weeder and edger because of the inclost gear for easier maintenance

I have the Milwaukee trimmer...great trimmer but how to wind string...not a great head..I just switched it to an ECO 400 head and there is a major difference.. much better... it just screwed on for me.. seemed to be that easy...hope I did it correctly.

Have you had problems with the DeWalt string breaking off a lot inside the head ? I have had that a lot and have spent more time taking the head off restringing than weed eating.

The DeWalt is approved for small arms and a case of tennis elbow...

终于有亚裔做这样的视频了，就是要是有中文字幕就好了，观看量一定会十几万的人看！没有一个中文博主在做工具介绍的！

I just got my trimmer but it keeps dying. I'm trying to use a High Output XC8.0 battery. I need to know why.. any ideas?

Compare Milwaukee with High Output battery to the Ego??

You talk very well to the camera. If you did some fancy editing instead of just doing really long takes I think this channel would blow up like crazy. I see its 3 years old so you probably do better by now. Good luck.

With a driveshaft that long and thin, vibration will certainly be present. Dewalt have significantly less vibration due to the lack of a driveshaft. OSHA warns about the irreversible hand nerve damage due to long term vibration exposure.

I can't figure out the purpose of the lock-off lever. Does it function on yours?

I picked up the Makita XRU15 I was thinking it would be better to have the motor on the head but then I was thinking shit it's just sitting in a bunch of grass & dirt the whole time I wonder how long it's going to last. 🤷🏻... The next model Makita came out with they put the motor & the 🔋🔋 at the rear... There's gotta b a reason. It was damn near 50/50 balance before so to either make it feel more like a ⛽ trimmer or it quit working because it sucked up too much dirt, I'm sure 1 of the 2 reasons I'm sure. Can't think of anything else

Update video posted in a Head 2 Head including these two trimmer: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g-CFiNJ-3Jayd4E.html

Too many scary motor burnout stories about that particular style of Dewalt with the motor down low. All the other bottom-mounted trimmers on the market are sealed for that very reason. Perhaps the Dewalt DCST972X1 with the rear motor is more reliable.

Would have been nice to show the Milwaukee in use!

The Milwaukee has "Torque Steer" like a FWD car 🤣

What is the wattage of each motor? The voltage game is ridiculous.

It does not have to be bumped on the ground to make more string come out.

just fyi the newer dewalt dcst922 folding 14" trimmer, so a bit of a turn of events, so to speak.. there're lots of issues w/ that one having a bit of a wobble. though fixable when you replace the head. i think the 2725 had an uncharacteristically low quality head, the newer models (2825) is a lot better. however, it's always fixable w/ a new head.

I just bought a Milwaukee Quick Lok, because the last two Dewalt trimmers just stopped working after only two seasons of light work. Both it was motor circuit board issue, its buyer beware stay away, they will eventually crap out. The Milwaukee is leaps and bounds better, its professional grade for one and the motor is in back. As for people complaining about vibration, myself haven't noticed. Stay away from Dewalt weed trimmers

Did everyone miss the huge crack on the Motor housing at 10:32 ?

Dewalt for the WIN

why doesn't anyone do a battery run time test

I am not hearing the vibration in your demonstration.. I also own this trimmer And it has hardly any vibration.. Milwaukee rocks..🤪

That's a huge microphone!

Killer video. Really helps. Do you know the difference between DEWALT DCST970X1 vs DCST970X1S

Torchie!!! Hahaha!!!

got Rid of my 1st Gen DEWALT 20v Trimmer lasted 1 year MOTOR BURNT OUT !!!!!!!!!!!!!! had to Bitch and complain to Dewalt 2x before game me a Case # and a Replacement unit Finally Came

Is that RR buildings intro I hear?

I was about to buy the Milwaukee as i have all red.....i might not as i hate vibrations.

Milwakee doesnt vibrate bad I have one it's no different then a gas weedeater

The 40V Kobalt is garbage, I exchanged it for the Kobalt 80V. Its like night and day, so powerful as good as the my Husky gas unit. The weed wacker has only 15-20 minutes continuous run time on a 2.0 battery (about the same power as the 9.0 Milwaukee). I have 4 chargers and 6 batteries so no big deal, could work all day long without stopping but about half a day continuous is all I could do and needed a long rest. No vibration problem either, I think you have an defective or unbalanced head on the Milwaukee unit.

The vibration is nothing you don't have to worry about getting burnt by a hot motor or fuel problems the Milwaukee will cut no problem but I can say alot of people will be to lazy to clean the head of the dewalt and it won't last also Milwaukee can do the the job with 18 volts dewalt needs 20 or 60 volts to do it they had to go to the flex volt to stay competitive

Milwaukee all the way up.!.!.!.!

Little more torchie!!! Hahahaha!

Your not using equal equipment, you should go agains the quick lock milwaukee

It's lawn equipment. I expect vibration. All I care about is that it functions properly and has gas powered quality. Nothing I have tried has been better than my echo gas powered.

It's probably either momentum or inertia.

tennis elbow = buy a shock watch, use a racket that's not as stiff and increase your stroke accuracy and method. as for the review well. it was more than a little hoaky lol, and not as clear as to the pros and cons of each. i wanted to see the comparison with Milwaukee even though i already know that dewalt is crappy and not worth the money. yes, i have seen the skinny of them from multiple users....

Dewalt feels better built, you can get speed head for the Dewalt, the bump feed on the Dewalt is the best I've ever used just one tap and the line advances

Milwaukee all the way

Makita 36v new design will crush both!

You were right the first time, it's Kinetic!

Wear thick leather gloves to deal with vibration.

I have the first gen Milwaukee, and I've used the 2nd gen, and both, I found, have very low vibrations. My brother has one of the many DeWalt string trimmers (seeing as, apparently they can't seem to be confident in one string trimmer) and my Milwaukee is clearly a better build quality and a better run tool. Just my opinion

The dewalt has shit for power and mine broke after 4 hours of use. My milwaukee on the other hand is great and has well over 200 hours of hard use on it

momentum you goof.

So what you’re saying is buy an EGO? Got it!

The Milwaukee sucks. I have two and four heads. All the heads tangle up inside after about two minutes. Can't even use them.

Electric trimmers batteries run down too fast and the batteries prices are not worth the price.

The quick lock fuel is way more powerful then that dewalt.

MILWAUKEE'S M18 FUEL O.P.E, Quick-Lok Is Way Better Than Both Of Them !!!! FACT # JUST SAYING !!!!!!

One is a toy and one is a tool.

I bought the same DeWalt and the motor burned up in about 4 hours of use. It is a piece of junk.

Veeeeery loooong...

While I appreciate the content you should script out the points you want to make. Your delivery is too long and I lost interest.

Milwaukee is a real professional tool. DeWalt is meant for the guys who use vibrators up their bungholios. I've been running Milwaukee for almost 10 years now after all our makitas died one way or another, only issue with Milwaukee after all these years was the original fuel 1/4" impact was forgotten in the bed of one of the trucks for a week with mostly rain all week and all that happens was it got temperamental, lasting another year before the board/chipset was totally blown apart and it shit the bed.

dewalt sucks milwaukee all day
