Maybe you should start working out a bit?
i guess Im asking randomly but does anyone know of a way to get back into an Instagram account??
I stupidly forgot my login password. I would appreciate any assistance you can give me.
@Cayson Rowan Instablaster :)
@Nickolas Roy thanks for your reply. I got to the site on google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff now.
I see it takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Nickolas Roy it did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D
Thank you so much you really help me out!
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 just bought the one for $299. After using it on my tall grass, the only complaints I have is it doesn't last long, so I will have to buy another battery. If you have more than 1 hour to do the job, get a second battery. If your to aggressive with cutting the long grass / weeds, the grass get stuck in the head, where I have to clear it when it slows down.😒
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 did stuff like that with my Worx 2,0 trimmer 20 v. I'm 76 yrs old and still doing yard work.
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
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.
It really is a beast! I love mine. Thanks to my wife as a father day gift!!
Awesome! Tha ks for the feedback GM!
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 bought one a week ago and I love it
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
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!
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.
Will be buying one next week I need that 60v battery also !
60v -A gift to myself; because nothing says 'I love me' like a routine attack on those outta control weeds😀
Good video👍
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
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 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
What size string do you use with it? .80 or .95?
Does it cut clock wise? I have a echo that cuts counter clock wise
@@GayMarriageJOKE 95 and it just goes one way
Ok thank you, mine goes counter clockwise
I wouldn't think a professional company could run batteries full time. I just bought this thinking it wouldn't be a good addition to mine and my bro's business, just for my lawn.
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.
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. 😁
What guard did you get? We need info
I'm buying one today after watching this review! Thanks for the upload!
You'll love it Tristan!
Really digging the channel man! Awesome reviews🤟🏼
Thanks Benjamin!!!!!
I have one and I am very happy with this trimmer

That would be perfect for around my lakes! Thanks for the review.
Sure would buddy
relatable
Been using one in the uk for over a year, hate to say it but it’s the way forward 😊
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
Awesome feedback!!!
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'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.
Great tools for sure Christopher 👊
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.
Yeah it's a great trimmer. My neighbor's all changed to this as well and will never go back to gas
Thank you for this great presentation
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
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!
Thanks for the feedback Mr. Its greatly appreciated 👊👊👊
ELITE 🤔
No way this is better than the t262.
I'm still thinking about getting one. Can you put a speed feed head on it? And can the guard be removed?
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.
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
Thats what i hate man. I had broke a couple because of that
cord*
Great review! Thanks!
great review!
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!!
I have the model that accepts attachments and it is awesome.
A very useful video ! Thanks !
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 .
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!
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).......
$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
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.
The makita x2 36v trimmer has SPEED : 3-speed options (Low: 4,200 RPM, Medium: 6,000 High: 7,100 RPM)
Outstanding!
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
Awesome review, I actually just bought the dewalt 60 volt that has attachment quick change system and mu ryobi stuff works with the dewalt. 👍
Great video Clint brother
Thanks brother!
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.
Thanks William! Yeah I will do a Tool Duel between the two. Just a bit, I the the $250 unit comes with the 3ah instead of the 3.0
Wow at the trimmer
I may buy one to add to my tools 👍
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
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.
I have one and I love it! All I need to do is to replace the line for 0.095"
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.
if any trimmer line is "brittle", just soak it in water. look it up, it works. no need to throw out old trimmer line.
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.
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
The one that allows attachments seems like the way to go.
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!!!
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.
Gracias es de mucha utilidad
You made up my mind thank you 🙏
Thanks for the feedback Rudy!!!
So what kind of upgrade of string should i get
@@cindyvan1986 I got the 60 volt weed eater but it only lasted less then a year the string motor over heated it smelled burnt and the batteries only last 30 minutes it’s good thing I got the warranty on it I am going to see if they can replace it.
@@rudymtzjunior Thanks for sharing.
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
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?
Nice machine 👍👍👍
I HAVE DW 20V BRUSHLESS . USING GOING AND GOOD BATTERY 20V BRUSHLES
$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!
$303
I have a 20v , it’s powerful. I can’t imagine what a 60v can do.
It's a beast Skip
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.
Thanks
Good for small back yard
Wel, you asked for response, I'm giving mine from Hungary, Eastern Europe. I'd like to highlight that I'm a greenhead, I really love the electric future we're heading into, but.. it's expensive and still too weak. In my opinion, and of course for my workload. I cut higher grass than yours, to almost ground level. My brushcutter is an FS 350 (more specifically my dad's). It's strong, but loud and.. you know, gas powered. We work with these 4-5 hours a day, I usually do it non-stop (only refuel).and I'm not talking about lawns here, it's a bit further from the house and the growth rate there is insane. I really wanted to buy an FS 130 (I don't know if it's sronger than the DeWalt you showed) but it just doesn't fit. We could barely afford it with a small battery, but we really need a backpack one for sustained works, which is just insane. I'm not saying it's bad, I love them and all, the thing is, not everyone can maintain a lawn and rural, more poor regions just use $50 chinese mockup brushcutters because that's what they afford. I'd love to hear from you about this topic, until then, cheers!
Hi Sandor, thanks for the feedback!!!👊
@@ToolReviewZone Ayy, that's a fast response! Someone must be slackin' in these rough times. Also sorry for any typos, I wrote it from phone, but really, if you need any tool-sepcific information from regions where actual performance and affordability for the masses matters a bit more (the last thing here is the environment unfortunately), feel free to ask.
@@gaurdein I always try to respond fast buddy. I appreciate the info as well 👊
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!
Absolutely Harley. I'll never own a gas trimmer again bro
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.
OK, it suffers the same fate as any 'string' though i just did an area next to where a gas powered struggled with 'heavy' stalk weeds and I beat them up better
However .... tall thick weeds eat the battery faster than your 'average lawn' used 2 batteries on heavy overgrowth of 3 months of neglect 12x50ft - but did twice that on less than one battery with more 'average encounters' of grass n weeds
Reduce them from top down.
@@JohnM... i am on my second one...maybe its no better than any other string trimmer? all i know is this one sucks. i can't go a foot without having to take apart the end and re-do the string. and the newer model is even worse! you have to unstring to re-string. just please don't fall for it like i did. i am looking for a stringless alternative...i give up already
@@user-ho8eb6bq6q Dude, no need to keep torturing yourself. Just change the head to an Echo speed feed 400, or Husqvarna T35, real easy process and pays for itself the first time you use it!
Get yourself a Weed Warrior brush cutter head and, if you're willing and able to spend the money, a 12 ah battery and this thing is a BEAST!
When you said slicing and dicing it made me like it lol
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!
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
Yeah definitely a solid point you make bro
Is it a pain to clean around the motor? My concern is the vents ok top for the electric motor.
I have been using for 2 years a dewalt 40v 6ah trimmer, I mow 30 to 50 lawns per week. 15 lawns in a day on one battery, love it!! It’s fell off my truck today and now i have to get another....but no, dewalt has canned the 40 v line, damn. Does the 60 v hold up all day? I push mine hard.
Wouldn't the 60v last longer?
@@tjw5747 I have no idea, the 40v was built as a contractor grade system, the 40 is a massive battery double the physical size of the 60. As for a comparison, I don’t have a 60v model to go up against the 40v.
The Craftsman v60 mower was $499 and was on clearance for $239 and the v60 chainsaw was $270 on clearance for $107
Does the guard come off ? Thanks :)
Still a long way to go for heavy brushcutting but is pretty impressive for what it is. Put a cutting blade on a 35cc 2 stroke Stihl brushcutter and get to see what it cuts and the power behind it, there is little comparison, so these cordless brushcutters still have a while to go for true heavy duty work. And with that being said this Dewalt is impressive and would most likely be a reliable, effective, and conveniently easy tool for around the average home and garden. That,s my view coming from years of bush clearing experience. Without a blade (not cord) and plenty of grunt spinning that blade thick brush will just be too difficult.
You're wrong
I you work a gas brush cutter hard you will definitely need to service it /clean it after the job..if you work this Chinese/plastic fantastic weeder hard you will just throw it in the trash and buy a new one😂...that's the future..buy it/love it/use it/throw it away/repeat...
Woooow nice😳
Hey I weedwack in my flip flops too!
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
PLEASE REVIEW BRUSH CUTTERS
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.
Look at the DEWALT DCST972X1 String Trimmer. It allows attachments.
It’s a work horse the line does suck however you can use 095 line in it to have better results.
Purchased one. Thanks for the review. Mine has pretty significant vibrations that numb arms. Any ideas how to fix?
Gloves with a dampening material help a lot, that would be the easiest fix. You could also get some closed cell foam or another deadening material and wrap it around the handle.
Nice safety shoes!
Top of the line
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.
Does that string trimmer handle fit on the dewalt pole saw?
Do you think it will scalp SOD to grade?
Yes
Fully charge exact same battery. Run it just sitting in the driveway, no grass. How long does it run in low vs high settting ????
