Just purchased mine a few days ago. Have to say I was shocked by how powerful and smooth it ran. Absolutely love it. Thanks for a great review.

I find this unit to be very powerful and has full filled all my yard needs. Dewalt has been my contracting tool of choice and this unit did not let me down. Good job again Dewalt

I did stuff like that with my Worx 2,0 trimmer 20 v. I'm 76 yrs old and still doing yard work.

60v -A gift to myself; because nothing says 'I love me' like a routine attack on those outta control weeds😀 Good video👍

Once DeWalt introduced this trimmer and blower and the lawnmower .I got them and liked them so much I threw away my old gas tools . And the 60V runs my 20V tools ! even the old 18V system . Thank you for showing the power and run time of this trimmer. I will never go back to gas now !! Even my girlfriend(wife soon) loves using it. best part is I don't have to start engine for her !

I have a 20v DeWalt, and love it. It's plenty powerful for my yard, even on "low". I can't imagine needing more, unless you have serious weeds like Teespring. Best thing is, it uses cheap batteries I borrow from my drills, drivers, and saw. No giant batteries to fail and cost me a fortune.

Love love love my 20 volt dewalt trimmer.... 3 acre yard an I can do it all with one battery as long as I keep up with it weekly

It really is a beast! I love mine. Thanks to my wife as a father day gift!!

I have a DeWalt 20V String trimmer and I absolutely love it. It's always ready to go, everything works and no problems starting or no gas!

I bought one. I really am impressed with it. Loads of power, and runs forever. I have other Dewalt 60V tools for my Carpentry business, and I knew how the 60V systems are long lasting and absolutely vicious when it comes to working them hard. Enjoyed the vid

I had the previous version of this and it died in a week so I'm glad to see a newer one that looks 100% better

Don't forget! The clip on the battery housing fits 3/4 ply for easy hanging. The best feature is that you can mount any aftermarket parts on it. This model has the same mounting hardware as any good gas string trimmer.

Great tool. I still use gas sometimes but this is good for pretty much anything. Had a battery go bad and they replaced it. Replaced the head with a Husqvarna head a little nicer for me. Finally the aluminum shaft on mine bent from rolling around. Easy to bend back.

I use this every day in my lawn care company i got rid of all gas blowers and trimmers and went to flexvolt its amazing and keeps up

Been using mine since last year. Never put it on Hi. Too scary...even on Lo, I can dig holes in my backyard with it. Da bomb!

I bought one a week ago and I love it

Bought one of these and wow, is it powerful! I had to get a more protective guard for the business end of this thing because it was hurling grass and other objects way too dangerously at high velocities. It made all the difference. I can cut very tall and thick grass with ease. Battery life is decent. The string reload system is different than what I was used to with other trimmers but it's easy enough. After seeing it at work in my yard, the neighbors keep asking to borrow it. 😁

I used to just cut a long line and start both ends in the spool, when it gets to the end clip and go! LOL

Will be buying one next week I need that 60v battery also !

Really digging the channel man! Awesome reviews🤟🏼

That would be perfect for around my lakes! Thanks for the review.

I'm buying one today after watching this review! Thanks for the upload!

Last year my gas powered leaf blower gave me a problem starting. So I go out and buy a battery blower. Now my gas trimmer won't start!! 😡 I'm buying this sucker

The ol' garage sale purchased Homelite weed trimmer finally died after 5 years of use. Based on your video and the strong reviews in the comments, I was comfortable spending the $299 on it at Home Cheapo today. This thing... it's such a beast, I love it already after one day. I've switched from gas to battery for good. My only gripe is the installation instructions could be better put together as it was a bit confusing to follow, but was able to get it unboxed and put together for use within 30 mins. Aside from that, I'm so glad to not be yanking my shoulder out of socket and messing with fuel and oil and carburetors and all that nonsense. This DeWalt weed whip is a very happy addition to my home.

I have a 18v trimmer. for my small garden great machine and I use Dewalt tools for my work. so had plenty of batteries great bit of kit and very safe to use , no long wires 220v and no petrol, for a small garden its great .

I have one and I am very happy with this trimmer

I'm sold on the Dewalt Flex Volt tools. I'm replacing and older set of non-lithium cordless tools... Glad I waited. These look awesome. I'm all in. Got a couple grand in New tools to buy this year that should last me forever.

Thank you for this great presentation

I’m a professional landscaper and expert lawn care mower and trimmer. I have used many many trimmers this is hands down better then even a shiwindawa. And those had the hp! This is DEWALT! ELITE!

Been using one in the uk for over a year, hate to say it but it’s the way forward 😊

A very useful video ! Thanks !

What I like about the Electrial trimmers are just plug in and go , no pulling a cored over and over to start a motor this is much simpler

I can see why a professional would need these. I’m sure eventually if not already some customers will require their lawn care company to use the electric stuff because of noise factor

I have a 20 v 561 De Walt trimmer that cuts out after 10 minutes on high, I think it overheats . It could do with an indicator for when it is cool again , runs fine on low speed with bursts of high for tough undergrowth .

This is what I'm going with this summer. It could easily handle my trimming needs. I'm just tired of wrestling my Stihl all summer long. The Stihl has been solid, but the older I get, the less I want to deal with the weight and hassle of it.

Great review! Thanks!

great review!

I have previously had 2-stroke, 4-stroke (surprisingly weak), drag the cord trimmers .. and to me this one keeps up, actually bests all let's not even talk 'corded', while fine for some normal city yard trimming, they are 'restrictive' gas is noisy and very high maintenance , oil, mix gas/oil, plugs and 'fuel lines' that fail .. That is the neat thing .. a cordless (& yes corded) can be in the back of your shed all winter without the slightest concern or prep work (This is something overlooked by many) but this only ages as it is used, not sitting I bought it as I was already using D-W tools giving me an extra battery and thereby making the tool 'inexpensive' ... taking down 12" grass and soft weeds it never slowed, in thick sturdy weeds it suffers like any string trimmer (I haven't gotten to my better line yet) as they 'flex' .... also , lots if heavy weeds cost battery time (same as more gas on gas trimmers) ... BUT THIS IS A BEAST NOW for commercial landscaping work , I wish people would get quiter using these, but having limited charging ability on the roaf (at minimum they'd need a 500Wcar power inverter to maybe recharge 2 cycles worth) This will be an investment as they'll need at least 3 to 5 batteries to make the day and that 800 plus the unit batteries carry 3 yr warantee , so over that time gas cost would add up too (in CA anyway) I will only have occasional need ... actuall doing some volunteer trimming since I have it - shows how much i enjoy the tool WELL WORTH IT

The makita x2 36v trimmer has SPEED : 3-speed options (Low: 4,200 RPM, Medium: 6,000 High: 7,100 RPM)

I’m fed up with gas powered trimmers. After years of messing with broken Ryobi’s and buying new power heads I bought a Stihl trimmer. It worked half way through the season before the catalytic convertor went ( yes a catalytic convertor in a gas trimmer). The guys at the parts place talked me into a cheaper muffler alternative and it worked fine for the rest of the season. I tried to fire it up this season and ended up having to fix carb problems and it still won’t run off idle. I literally took a 20# sledge hammer to the thing and vowed never to buy another gas trimmer again. I gave away all my ryobi attachments to a relative and I’m getting a dewalt 60v trimmer. I already have four 60v batteries from other dewalt tools to i’ll have plenty of spares. I’m just hoping I don’t have bad issues with the new trimmer. I’ve heard other guys using husky string spools with better results so I’m not opposed to modifying mine. I’ll post an update once I take possession and put it through its paces. I love Dewalt tools and own over 20 different 20-60v tools as I’m a well rounded tradesman and I live in the mountains where I restore and build cabins and mini houses on the side of one of my other jobs so cordless tools are mandatory in my more remote build site locations.

I have the model that accepts attachments and it is awesome.

Looks like a nice trimmer. I am team Red. Bought first model without quick lok. Loved it, but my last gas trimmer had attachments. As soon as quick look came out bought another trimmer. Have string and edger setup. Just switch battery and go. So easy vs gas. Overtime lines, pump ball, and carb needed maintenance. With electric you just go and nothing to do. For my needs electric all the way on edger and stringer. Still rocking gas for mower. Love my Honda!!

The line is realy good . Its just the way the head is designed. You can go to lows and get a different head and replace it. It is easy and the line won't rip any more.

Awesome review, I actually just bought the dewalt 60 volt that has attachment quick change system and mu ryobi stuff works with the dewalt. 👍

I have one and I love it! All I need to do is to replace the line for 0.095"

I have had has powered weed trimmers through the years. I have had this dewalt weed trimmer going 9n the second year now, and I prefer this over the gas trimmer

Great video Clint brother

I have the 20v. Cons: the guard - it’s really bad, but you can get a bigger one that I haven’t done yet. Pros: power, weight

Yes very true!! I wish DeWalt would improve as in the video. I like to stay in the same line, most of my cordless tools are DeWalt. Pls keep up with awesome work and keep improving. Love DeWalt!

We know who not to call to do trimming lol but good review overall. I just ordered one my stihl finally gave out and want to change to battery everything.

That was a close one. I just bought the 20 Volt version. Then I saw this video, for a brushless unit. I thought "Man, I screwed up. I always buy the best tool...and I got a second rater this time! Then you said my 20 V batteries won't work in this, and that made my day. I actually bought the best one I could without having to buy new batteries. I can live with that. Unless there is a Power Detect version out there. Dang it...if there is, don't tell me!!!

Nice string trimmer and for the price at $250 with Batt and charger isn't too bad. A nice side to side comparison with the Milwaukee would be interesting as I'm considering picking up the Milwaukee string trimmer attachment to add to my pole saw and hedge trimmer. Thanks for sharing. Cheers Clint.

I may buy one to add to my tools 👍

When you said slicing and dicing it made me like it lol

I've had mine for a couple of months now & im very impressed, its very powerful & i havnt even tried the second setting (but yes the switch looks cheap) the guard is an absolute joke as its so small, but its light & powerful & well balanced machine, my one has the newer head & isn't too bad to feed new cord, I have the 6mah flexvolt battery but I'm looking at the 12mah for longer run time, one thing that I am concerned about is the motor cover being block with grass etc, I have mad my own cover that goes on top of the housing & stops any debris from blocking the vents ( may reduce the motor overheating).......

Outstanding!

I have one with 2stroke 33 C engine comes with all attachments like saw etc, the only thing I don't like it's loud otherwise it just runs always finish the job no problem

Gracias es de mucha utilidad

streach out a long piece of line, find the middle and stick the middle loop into the middle slot on the reel and wind both at the same time.

$420.00 for tool and battery before tax? Now I know why you didn't mention price. I like the fact that is battery operated, (just the noise and gas factor). Also I think it's important (to me) to get as close the ground as possible. Thanks for your honesty, helped me to avoid a disappointment!

$300+ for a trimmer.ouch!!.great if you use daily I suppose. I use mine twice a month for one hour,so,I got the trimmer on Amazon with 2 batteries and charger and added stronger line for under$115 feburary 2020 its not too shabby and gets the job done.thx4 good video.i like dewalt but can't afford the big toys .cheers

Wow at the trimmer

The version i have has a larger guard and a different trigger lock but its a beast

I just got the Walmart (hart) brand it uses a 40 volt, battery for $154.00 the string is .08 very easy to use, incredibly strong and does the job for me, i can use it for hours before it needs a recharge, very sturdy love it, it is just for home use and you can attach other tools to it.

Are you able to remove the head to put different heads on it such as a wire wheel for weeds in concrete and asphalt cracks?

I have a 20v , it’s powerful. I can’t imagine what a 60v can do.

The one that allows attachments seems like the way to go.

I think the only down side to these battery operated devices in professional use, there is definite a need for battery charging as it will be used and abused 8+ hours constantly

I use the 60 volt trimmer on the farm and it’s a beast . Only thing I have a problem with it is so powerful it throws debris everywhere. Where eye protection

Do a comparison video (i.e., a shoot-out video) between battery-powered and two-stoke string trimmers, for example, the Dewalt 60V and the Echo SRM-225 (their top-seller). I'll bet the Echo would win by a mile.

Nice machine 👍👍👍

I HAVE DW 20V BRUSHLESS . USING GOING AND GOOD BATTERY 20V BRUSHLES

It’s a work horse the line does suck however you can use 095 line in it to have better results.

You made up my mind thank you 🙏

no doubt it can handle the job...no more finicky carburetors, fumes, noise and mixing gas...i've been using battery operated tools for a long time, and I believe they finally got it to where it's comparable to gas and electric....batteries are the way to go!

Is it a pain to clean around the motor? My concern is the vents ok top for the electric motor.

I have one of these. they are great. I thing that does annoy me a little is in really long weedy grass, sometimes the weed gets wrapped around in the head and its a pain in the ass to untangle it. haha nice safety shoes!

Thanks

if any trimmer line is "brittle", just soak it in water. look it up, it works. no need to throw out old trimmer line.

Purchased one. Thanks for the review. Mine has pretty significant vibrations that numb arms. Any ideas how to fix?

Good for small back yard

What is the venting down on the bottom by The Cutting head? I'm assuming that this is just like my Milwaukee and the motor is up top in the gear cases down at the bottom but why does it look like it's vented at the bottom or is it not vented and just looks like it? To me it looks like the ventilation slots that would be 4 forced air Cooling but I doubt that they would put any type of forced air down at the bottom where there's dirt and debris flying all around. It doesn't even make sense to put any type of venting even if it's just natural draft venting

I have one of these, I love it! I'll agree the guard is too small. Also the string cutter is too close, it does have a smaller cutting diameter than most gas powered trimmers. Most all gas powered trimmers are great, but after about 3 years of use you will begin having starting issues (carburetor) no matter how good you take care of it. This one, you pull the trigger, it runs! It surprised me how long the battery lasts, even on high. However, I must disagree with the weight statement, it probably weighs about 1-1/2 times heavier than my old husky and 1-1/4 times heavier than the stihl (husky is the lightest one I have used, using it with one hand was no problem). But the weight is worth the trade off for the lack of aggravation starting it on those too hot summer days.

I have had one since they came out a year or two ago and would not take double what I gave for it .I never had problems with the line and probably used four or five packages of it but would say if you are trying to a lot of knee high weeds get a brush hog.

Looks good, but my worx Nitro trimmer is hard to beat. It uses 1 string and id extremely easy to reload and you can use extensions from other manufacturers. I do like this, though. I have to say I am a diehard worx fan, but also an avid dewalt user as well.

Nice safety shoes!

thanks for the reply. any particular brand of replacement string you recommend? the dewalt one is highly ranked on amazon, but wanted to go for your recommendation based on your experience. thanks!

Hey I weedwack in my flip flops too!

I just got the attatchment capable trimmer. Makes zoysia gras melt away even in the overgrown patches. Very quiet especially on hi. The 0.08 string makes far less noise than the 0.15 string that my shindiawa t242x uses. Cut a whole lawn that i could with my shindiawa, where in the end the shindiawa was almost empty and this dewalt still had power.

I am in the ridgid eco system and i wish they would make one! I have a corded one and it's really annoying to drag that chord around the friggen yard! Awesome review though! I like it! Thinking hard of getting it! Cheers :)

I;d like to see how it goes at cutting thick weeds that grow up through rocks, really tough work all day, but love the concept.

Dewalt we need a stand alone 60 v edger!!!!!

Very impressive! But I'm an old dog and you can bury me with my Echo SRM 2601.

I bought a dewalt brushless 20 volt max xr drill. I haven’t used it much over two years It works when it wants to...No more dewalt for me!

The way it handled those tall weeds, it should be called a string blender, any faster and you would have weed juice

Will you be getting the edger in for review. just saw last night they appear to be making one. DeWalt DCED472X1

I’m gonna buy one of these as my next trimmer simply because I’m tired of mixing gas, cleaning the carburetor and spark arrestor screen, and screwing with the spark plug.

PLEASE REVIEW BRUSH CUTTERS

no varible speed trigger means hard to be gentle around trees to avoid stripping off bark
