It is literally light years better than the one DeWalt provides and removal / attachment is as easy as he says it is. 5 stars.

This is good news because the T35 is readily available. I’ve run my Husqvarna 40v in hard service for 5 years, the head finally failed, trying to get a new one (that one is right hand thread T25B). I bought this DeWalt, overall it’s okay but like you say the head is cheap crap, the DeWalt string is more durable than their head. I broke it after 30 minutes. DeWalt says don’t touch the ground, how are you supposed to bump it? Bought a new one ($34) but came here looking for a universal replacement next time I break it. Husqvarna actually understands that hitting hard things hidden in the grass is unavoidable but their smooth disk just bounces off with almost no damage. The DeWalt head has protrusions of brittle plastic which break if you inadvertently hit something hard.

Yup. I ran mine for a total of about 30 minutes on high before it just died. I replaced the battery thinking it was just the battery and it ran for about another 5 minutes then died again and would not restart. The next day it started again and I've been just running it on low. I'm guessing it just overheated. Pretty pathetic when you consider how lightly I was using it. My $30 black and decker junk trimmer is far more capable but I was getting sick of the cord and thought the dewalt would be an "upgrade". How wrong I was.
