DeWALT proves me wrong on cordless trimmers/edgers 

Thanks for the decent review of the DeWalt string trimmer. I purchased the same trimmer and the DCMWSP255Y2 mower. I love not having to have ANY gas in my garage. My trimmer came with a 9Ah battery, and the mower came with 2x12Ah batteries. I noticed on the string trimmer that I can use it on Low setting, and only need minimal power to complete all the trimming on my suburban property. I then switch to the edger attachment. This I use it on High at full speed. I've been really happy with this tool and its attachments.

Thanks for taking the time to make this video

Looking into giving this trimmer a try this season

For the last 18 months I've not let the lawn crew edge or use a weed eater in my back yard. ru-vid.comUgkx_rBCFuDW1zD6blTGhLkvAkxU657uR_lG I didn't like the fact that they just kept cutting the edge of the lawn further and further from the rock lining the flower beds and leaving bare ground. And the grass was trimmed or scalped several feet around trees, etc. It was a constant battle with them so I told them to just mow and no trimming. I have Zoysia grass so it grows pretty slow. Obviously after a while it could use some trimming. I'm in my 80's so I can't do much of it myself.Finally I decided that if I could find a lightweight battery powered trimmer I might be able to do some light trimming. I decided to buy the LST201 20V trimmer. And it works great for my needs. I have back yard with about 150' of flower beds and several trees to be trimmed. I can lightly trim the whole yard with a single charge! The grass I trimmed was only a few inches high but the trimmer was more powerful than I expected.

I’ve had the dewalt string trimmer and blower for five years now. They have been flawless. I use the 5.0 and 6.0 batteries in them. So much better than gas powered small engines now.

Great video thanks man

I am really digging the pegboard tool organization. Do you have a link for it?

How much runtime did you get with your batteries? If you can include run times for both settings (1 and 2) if you used both for the duration of the battery, that would be great.

Since you bypassed the safety switch I hope you take the battery off while not in use, or when feeding new string?

Is that your wife's house? Doing her lawn care? Thats awesome!

Gee... That's one minute you're never going to get back switching attachments on the tool. I have all of these and they're great.

Awesome video. Wish I could use battery, just have too much to trim. Isn't Linus' firetruck video his most watched video?

You were replacing your string every 2 weeks?! Holy crap. I usually go an entire summer and only replace once. I'm guessing that metal fence is chewing through all your string

Dude your the best. Went out and bought a gas echo weed wacker last week. I own many dewalt tools. Changing a battery is one thing. Tearing it apart to use it is another.

These dewalt trimmers are powerful from what I've seen. Even my Echo PAS 2620 can sometimes struggle with the edger attachment when it hit s a bunch dirt.

With a brushless trimmer you do not tap it. You turn it on to the speed you want and run at that speed. For careful work in gardens, around cars, etc you just run it at the lower speed. Much easier and safer than a gas trimmer.

The new 20v edger is better than the attachment

Biggest issue, quality and durability. Ryobi, for example, in famous for its low quality and lack of durability. Sthil and echo are known for their quality and durability. Within that scale, where does the DeWalt 60 volts trimmer stands? For how long the battery last, the key is that for longer continuous work you will need more than one battery, safer to have four and a rapid charger. Three batteries and one fast charger is the minimum for continuous work.

Back in the early 90's we had electric lawn mower (black and decker) God that thing was a POS.... Im in the DeWalt house as well, they are all my power tools and my yard tools and even chain saw... They work great!

I'm looking for something, I won't look like Quasimodo after because I was bending over so darn much.

Ryobi Zero turn FTW!

I have an Ego. Also their outdoor power equipment.

Wish they had an adjustment for taller ppl like yourself. You had to kinda lean a bit to use

With this crap going electric, why don't they redesign the line dispenser to be electronic instead of mechanical. Same with the reload. ugh...

3:00 - Jesus take the hole!

Just wait until you try the Ego products...

This smells like sponsored or affiliate link whitout claiming so in the descripton or start of the video.

Duct tape that safety switch, please.

too much bs. get straight to the point.

i think you would be better off with the EGO ecosystem for lawn tools... Dewalt should stay in their lane they arent the best for lawn tools. a lotof these issues you mention dont exist on EGOs products. and it has auto load string where you just press a button.

🤣

First, S*** it Nate.
