- Are You In The Market For a String Trimmer? Watch This.
In this video, I will show my experience using Project Farm’s Top Rated String Trimmer. If you don’t know who Project Farm is then I high recommend you check out his TH-cam channel (linked below). When it comes to in depth and highly researched reviews, no one does it better than him.
The weed eater we are looking at today is the 60V MAX Brushless Cordless Battery Powered String Trimmer. This weed wacker has a brushless motor and accepts multiple Dewalt outdoor power tool attachments. My favorite feature about this trimmer is its start up torque. There is hardly any delay between pressing the trimmer and the head firing up. My other trimmers have a slight delay when firing the trigger but the Dewalt fires up almost instantly. Another thing I really love about this trimmer is the rubber handle, it is easily the best feeling handle out of all 3 of my string trimmers.
The one area this trimmer lacks in is its trimmer head. After reading multiple reviews and testing it myself, I came to the conclusion that the stock Dewalt head needed to be replaced. I upgraded the head to an Echo Speedfeed Trimmer head. This is my favorite trimmer head for 2 reasons. The first, is that it has a very solid build quality (much better than the stock Dewalt head). The second is that it is VERY easy to reload the string. It doesn’t require you do detach the head and manually respool the string. All you have to do is feed the line through the head, rotate it and will automatically spool the head for you.
That being said, this battery string trimmer is without a doubt, the best string trimmer I have ever used.

This attachment capable Dewalt 60v is compatible with “rotary scissors”. Rotary scissors means u will never have to replace string ever again!
U got a link to the strimmer head?
100% Project Farm has the best product reviews on the internet. I am glad to see another youtuber do an extended review on one of his winners.
Great to hear John! Appreciate you taking the time to comment!
I have an obscene amount of respect for Todd and his reviews.
The fact that he continues to go out of his way to spend hundreds upon hundreds of dollars of his own money (and from his Patreon) for the sake of fairness and unbiased opinions is something I marvel at, and you don’t really see that often anymore.
Project loser is what the internet calls him.
Agree he, and this guy ( sorry don't know name) are national treasures. Honesty and humbleness is what I really like about these guys.
Me too..I own a lot of the winners
Seeing it cut real weeds like the ones around the power pole are exactly what more string trimmer videos should be showing. Very nice!
appreciate that boss!
This Dewalt 60V trimmer has tons of power to tackle any yard chores, I have the version that accepts attachments and I have the roto-tiller attachment which is very taxing on a gas power head, the Dewalt 60V power head didn't have any issues running that tiller attachment....I have the string trimmer attachment, plus another straight shaft attachment that I keep a Grass Gator head on which has 3 plastic swivel blades on it for cutting heavy weeds and light brush that works very well also. Having high and low speed is nice, around my house I can use low and get everything trimmed, out around the irrigation ditch and back fence I use the Grass Gator head and high speed to tackle all the heavier weeds and brush and it does great. I have 3 batteries so I have no trouble getting all the yard chores done with that trimmer....I thought about getting a Dewalt battery powered mower but they're extremely expensive, and after wasting almost $700 on an Ego mower I won't bother with a battery powered mower for my yard. I do have the Dewalt 60V 16" chainsaw as well, it works very good, just have to keep a box of batteries to keep it going as its quite the battery hog, but it works very well, used it a couple years ago to cut down a walnut tree, other than having to wait for batteries to charge, the saw did extremely well given it was doing the job of a gas powered saw, and doing it very well....chains are easy to replace, and easy to adjust on that saw without tools. I haven't tried any of the other Dewalt lawn/garden tools, and probably won't, but if they work as good as the weed eater and chainsaw I'd recommend them over some of the other brands out there. Especially if you already have Dewalt tools with chargers and batteries.
Dried weed isn't that much of a challenge... Try tall and thick green grass. That's the real challenge.
Surfing the net for data on battery operated string trimmers. Project Farm was my first choice which led me to your review. Nicely done.
That is awesome! and thanks!
I have had mine for about a year now, and I have bought four 9ah batteries for it. I can go for about 45 minutes of moderate trimming on each battery. There is a real art to learning how to balance cutting with battery usage with time spent, but with practice it pays off. I have a 12 Amp fast charger for it, and I can charge a battery as fast as I use one, so I can trim forever😂
Around my house I can use the low speed setting and get pretty much everything done that way, the only time I use the high speed is when I'm using the Grass Gator attachment and cutting thicker weeds and brush....I usually get about 10-15 minutes of battery usage, but that's with I think 3ah batteries.....I've had my trimmer and my 60V 16" chainsaw since they came out, and the batteries back then I think were only around 3ah or 4ah. They work fine for my needs...I have 3 batteries and can get all my trimming done quite easily usually on 1-2 batteries.
I have the roto-tiller attachment as well, that's the power hog, as is the chainsaw....but they don't get used very often anyways.
Great info. I've also been using the Twisted trimmer line suggested by Project Farm. Big difference over the normal stuff I was getting at HD/Lowes.
Thanks I’m going to check it out!
Dude you rock. This review was done incredibly well, and is absolutely what I love to see after I just made the decision to order one.
Nerd side of me: Sound was fantastic, video quality great, and you kept the pace perfectly. Thank you for this fantastic video!
appreciate that sir!
Thanks for the informative video. You're a good reviewer. I didn't get bored listening to you. Thanks. I agree, Project Farms is the best product reviewer out there.
appreciate that jim!
I purchased one shortly after the Proj Farm video came out. I also have the edger attachment. Both work great. I haven't yet had a problem with my trimmer head, but plan on replacing it soon.
Thanks for sharing Brad!
How do you like the edger attachment? It’s next on my list to acquire.
@@PrincessCutLawnCare I've never had an edger before, but it's a beast, more than enough power, even on neglected edges at full depth. Even has enough power to chew up the concrete pretty well. It's a standard blade, I have the safety shield installed, and the speed and power clears that with no clogs. BTW, love the channel, great videos. Keep them coming.
That trimmer is a beast! I love the head attachment upgrade too. Top notch video as always. Well done, buddy!
Thanks bro! And yea it is!
I went dewalt because of their flex voltage 60v batteries. The dewalt 60v worm gear saw tears through anything as well as the 60v chainSawzall. 60v sawzall. Will get the 120vdc miter saw eventually
When I squeeze the trigger I would definitely want instant movement it’s one of the things that make it like gas. Great video 💪🏼💯
great point dude! i didnt even think of that! instant firing is a must for batteries
For my ⅓ Acre, the 20V WORX String Trimmer fits my needs. Very adjustable and lightweight!
Also 60v dewalt batteries are ⅓ the AH listed on the battery at 60v
20v/60v AH:
6/2
9/3
12/4
15/5
I had a model older than this one that I love. My sister has difficulty with tools that are too heavy and she actually loved mine and found it easy to use th-cam.com/users/postUgkx_rBCFuDW1zD6blTGhLkvAkxU657uR_lG . This is a newer model but was even lighter which she really appreciates. She enjoys it and I no longer have to go to her house to trim as she can handle it fine. Haven't used it enough to comment on the battery life but lithium batteries last longer than the old style. Being cordless makes it easy to trim the far edges of the property. The entire yard can be trimmed with one charged battery.
Bruh. At first seeing the title I thought this was clickbait with just regurgitated facts. BOY WAS I WRONG. I'm not ready for switching to battery (I don't want to be limited on run time or need more batteries) but damn excellent video and tips!
Best decision I have made for my home gardening needs. I trim, edge, and blow all on one charge. .56 acre with 40x50 fence, both sides, edge patio, curb, drive way, blow off front porch, back patio, and driveway. I don't need another battery, but I might get one for longevity sake.
I have this trimmer, works great. The dewalt head seems to work fine for me. It is heavy because of that big battery, but as mentioned is well balanced so doesn't seem so bad. I would like to have a strap like my old Stihl had.
I have had a Echo a very long time and it came with that head that you are showing , It is by far the greatest !! Simple , fast to install fresh string and very durable ....
As Project Farm said, we use string trimmers to do work and the best way to compare them is by looking at their torque output. The DeWalt blows away the competition in that regard.
1000%
I always take a dry brush and clean the head vents off at the end of every trim. That's how they'll fail is the vent can get blocked and the motor will overheat
It has plenty of torque....I've used the Dewalt power head to run my roto-tiller attachment which stresses the gas power heads, and the Dewalt 60V power head didn't strain at all with that tiller attachment....I love that I can just put the battery in and get to work, and not have to deal with adding fuel and all the fuel related issues. I also have the Dewalt 60V 16" chainsaw that works extremely well also....used it a couple years ago to cut down a walnut tree that had died....it did the job of a gas chainsaw, the only thing is you gotta keep a box of batteries around to feed it, as its quite the battery hog, but it works extremely well.
Todd, impressing DIYers worldwide!!
The only reason I still use a gas echo is the speed feed head. Will be buying this set up
I have the 20V one. It's a BEAST. I have 2 acres of land which is a little small for gas tools but a little to much for battery powered. I got the 20v one and a 9ah battery at a flea market and it's a tank. I love Dewalt.
Sounds like a toy to me. Either the weeeds at your place are thin or you just cut really often. Anyone who’s aware knows that these battery string trimmers only get about 15 minutes digging into thick green weeds and often times they just overheat and quit. You also make less power every minute that you’re using the battery tool. My Stihl FS 240 would destroy this dewalt. It would be like comparing a super car to the little Honda civic with the eBay exhaust.
@erike7297 maintaining gas tools is not worth the effort to Me
@@weebfishing5439 There’s hardly any maintenance. Just have to run all the gas out of it before storage. And then choke and run it a few more times till the engine won’t even pop. That’s how you know all the fuels out. If electric tools work for you that’s ok too.
Just used mine today, it is an absolute beast
Make the brushless 12 in chainsaw an add to you OPE by DeWalt. Great value at the price and normally comes with a battery to add to the arsenal. Great little clean up saw and when your customer ask for a small "honey didn't do" job - take their money!
My next fave has to be the hand held lopper. I just got one and it damn sure beats cranking on pruners with your hand for an hour straight. Yes I named mind Cindy (thanks AvE)
agree, that chainsaw is a great buy for homeowner grade chainsawing
yup, i got the same trimmer and man is this thing a beast :0
I’m very impressed with my Dewalt 20” chainsaw. I’m definitely picking one of these up
thanks for sharing! im gonna have to check out their chainsaws as well!
I have the 16" Dewalt 60V Chainsaw, yep it works great, its a battery hog, but it does a great job....more of a gas chainsaw replacement if you have enough batteries to keep feeding it LOL. I used mine to cut down a dead walnut tree a couple years ago, it worked very well, I'd only get about 10-15 minutes of run time with it, but it did great....I also found that by the time the battery was depleted so was the bar oil....so its kind of a battery/bar oil replacement at the same time setup, kind of like that.
"The mean streets of Naperville, Illinois." LOL!! As someone who has frequently been in that community, I had to laugh. Nice one.
gotta keep an eye out around these parts 😂
I use this trimmer with a professional head that takes 0.155" triangular line. You can bump up against brick or masonry and the line doesn't even shorten more than a few mm. The best part is the DeWalt has the torque to get'r done so you don't need a high-CC gas pro trimmer to use 0.155.
I didn't know there was a trimmer head for that size line that would fit a regular trimmer....I'll have to search around for one. I do have a Grass Gator head which uses 3 plastic swing away blades, but a heavier duty string trimmer head would be nice most of the time.
@@wildbill23c Looks like YT removed my comment because I have too much marketing detail about the head - it's an Echo. Only one I found on A-ma-zon that takes 0.155 and fits a standard gearbox.
There is an arrow cast in the plastic on the head you line up with the hole you don’t need to sight the hole.
Project farm is definitely the goat if he’s says it’s good... it Good
Thing seem to be a beast for sure. I bought the Ego 16" with auto line feed and the auto line load a couple years ago and it is actually more than I need but I love it. Cost me $299.
Appreciate the upgrade advice I will be getting one and also upgrading my father in laws
I have 1.3 acres and use a trimmer almost every day. About a month ago I bought the EGO. It has a power boost button for when I’m in extra heavy weeds. I have the larger battery and can cut for at least 50 minutes. Heavy, yes. But well balanced.
I had a 40v Dewalt trimmer and the battery only lasted a year. Given the price of batteries, I couldn't justify keeping the trimmer when I had to spend $150 / year on batteries. A gas powered trimmer was far more efficient to operate. Maybe the Dewalt version here will be different.
These Flexvolt batteries seem to be better, but that's an issue regardless what brand you buy is battery life....at some point they will fail of course and hopefully they still sell them when that happens otherwise you are gonna have to trash everything and go to another battery platform. This is kind of why I don't really care to go with all battery stuff too. I have a gas trimmer power head with attachments, and the Dewalt 60V power head that accepts attachments so I can use attachments with either platform, but....the batteries kind of scare me because they're so expensive $200+ for one of those Flexvolt batteries.
I just ordered this exact Dewalt weed trimmer 60 V way !! better than the 20 V because the 60 V has the motor at top by the battery versus the 20 V has it down by the string head gets dirty with a bunch of crap not allowing you to rinse it After use
Nice! It’s an awesome piece of gear
I’ve been in the market for a new trimmer and man you got me so excited to check out the DeWalt. Have you still been liking this trimmer?
I appreciate your honest reviews and how you talk about pro’s and con’s. Thank you!
Sup griz! This trimmer is awesome, its held up well over the past year. What battery tools are you running now? I ask because its best to stick with the platform your already with due to cross capability of the batteries
@@PrincessCutLawnCare Nice to know you still like it. We’ll be upgrading from a gas powered. Also got handed down a battery powered Ryobi trimmer, but the unit as well as the batteries are crap so I don’t recommend.
Like you, I’ve got an assortment of Milwaukee and DeWalt tools so know all about the non-universal battery compatibility struggle 😅
Thanks again and have a great day
This trimmer plus a stihl km coupler and you can use kombi attachments instead, which I love using.
Anytime Im in the market for an item. I check to see if Project Farm did a comparison to see which one I need to get.
Honestly, thank you for addressing the issue; and mentioning the best fix out there for it. But.... This is a DeWalt power-tool. You shouldn't have to immediately replace the head to get the most performance out of it. Also, it's the head! Not some minor thing like the handle, or the switch being a bit loose. I'm subscribed to *PF* and don't recall him ever mentioning this issue. But a DeWalt power-tool shouldn't require _immediately_ replacing a main component before you can use it. If this was a cheap Hart, or Warrior trimmer; okay that would be a different story. It would even be understandable. But a DeWalt?? That's not right.
I have to agree with torque test channel that the 9ah battery is the way to go. Iv had mine for a few years now. It’s still a little annoying to have to swap batteries mid cut, and it’s a little worrisome about getting batteries wet. I will say this in order for this to be an option for commercial use, you would need several batteries and have a way to charge the many batteries so you don’t need more batteries. Also you would have to be ready to get those tools and batteries wet All the time. A little rain has never stopped a groundskeeper but it would sure ruin a fine piece of electronic equipment. I’m all for battery powered but I’m not entirely sure battery powered is for everything. For your own use though- this is a good enough piece of equipment. I wanted to buy a gas trimmer and I’m glad I didn’t. Now that I have an extra battery!!
Dope video as always my guy! Dewalt needs a power load feature like EGO... i'll never go back to a trimmer without powerload... even testing out that echo speed feed I just cringed rotating string 😂😂😂🤙🏾
Thanks bro! never tried the power head, i would love to but how do you attach your rotary scissors?
@@PrincessCutLawnCare I have the EGO 16" with line iq w/ powerload and the EGO 15" bump w/ powerload / the rotary scissors are attached to a separate unit the ego string trimmer attachment (that string trimmer head is garbage!) and I put the scissors on that so I can switch between rotary scissors and the edger attachment 😊🤙🏾
@@YardBrah ohhhhhh i gotcha, well in that case time to get another trimmer haha
@@YardBrah
Have you ever tried using the scissors as an edger? Thanks.
I saw lots of reviews that the Husqvarna T35 can often be used to replace Dewalt heads
Good video George, however I’m loyal to my Ego products, they’ve never let me down. A word of advice when buying DeWalt batteries, always buy the 5aph or higher, anything less and your warranty is good for a substantially lower time frame.
Thanks Buddy! I will always have a soft spot for Ego as they are the ones that got me into electric tools 😀
And great tip as far as the batteries go! thanks for sharing
My ego battery charger doesn't work anymore I wish I would've gone with DeWalt
I've got a Dewalt trimmer & never use it since I don't like the head. Looks like I'll have to try the new head.
I use greenworks 48v (2x24) 16 inch and i am really satisfied.
Nice! Thanks for testing/reviewing. I have the ryobi 40v but tbh I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
No prob!
Yup, bought one too because of him!!
nice!
Great video! We need to see your EDC.
I think the most important thing is battery life, not torque, startup, etc. I would like uninterrupted time to cut, the EGO last for almost an hour. Batteries are expensive, especially if you're going to get 20 minutes out of it.
I owned this trimmer for a few months. Got rid of it for the 20v because the 60v will literally send rocks through siding if given a chance.
I literally just watched project farm then your video. Definitely going with DeWalt. Thanks bro
sweet bro! good choice
You are absolutely right!
Dewalt puts that light head to get more time out of the batteries. If you use a heaver head, it might shorten your time.
Good point! Didn’t even think about that
Ego 56v tools are beast mode...Beside the weight of the damn battery I've had no issues. Even the multi tool with the edger "metal blade" just blasts through the ground...EGO make your "SHYTE" lighter. My Ego leaf blower on turbo mode puts my leaves in the neighbor's yard across the street...😂
I agree Pete! I love everything about the Ego aside from its weight but to be fair to them, they were pioneers in kicking this electric thing off so I can look past the weight as the tech was new back then
Since you have a lawn care business, the question now is, how many properties you do before you run out of battery?
I can't wait until the we have proper battery tools for lawn care, in particular trucks.
I don't know how come this truck companies don't do a proper electric truck for work instead of vanity.
We don't need vanity, the truck tends to be dirty and full of dirt all the time, manual windows are the best too for us. We don't do more than 50 to 55kms (30 to 34 miles) a day (I'm in Canada).
These vehicles have a huge battery, they could do a charging station inside of the truck to recharge the small machines batteries.
At $1.6/Liter, I'm spending probably more than $800/month in gas for 2 trucks and all the mowers trimmers and blowers.
Hey Tesla or what ever truck manufactures, just bring a simple trim electric truck to market, pleeeeease.
Try their 20V pruner! It rocks!
Any thoughts on Milwaukee M18 dual battery weed trimmer vs this Dewalt ?
both great units, get which ever platform your in
Are you keeping the Milwaukee stuff or selling it since you're moving over to DeWalt?? Another banger of a video!
thnaks bro! i keeping it all! bahahah
I wish they sold the weed trimmer alone without the battery. I invested in the new 20V Power Stack batteries (sold separately of course) last year because all the Dewalt tools didn't include any batteries. Now this year all the tools include 20V Max batteries. I don't need any more batteries and certainly don't want inferior batteries to the Power Stack that I paid an arm and a leg for.
Powerstacks are for girls who can't handle the weight of a bigger battery.
Also picked up the speed feed head
I’ve got the 15” Flexvolt. Model prior to this one. It is awesome. Not one problem with it. I have a 9AH battery for it, but I use the 6AH batteries most of the time. I’m not sure what ppl are talking about when they say they only last 15-20 mins. I can Weedeat around my property (3/4 acre) 2-3 times before my 6AH batts die. 🤷🏻♂️
Run it on high fully depressed. Will last less than 20 mins on a 9ah. Feathering trigger on low will last 60+ minutes~. And 3/4 acre doesn't mean much if you only trim/edge the perimeter. Obstacles, ditches, multiple boundaries, steep hills, overgrowth, etc. Weedeating a 3/4 acre property with a 6ah multiple times? Must be 3/4 acres of bare soil lmao. Maybe 1.5x-2x on a 9ah on low lol.
@@CowsGoM3ow My lawn is well landscaped and only a psychopath runs a weed-eater full blast the entire time. What are you weed-eating? Sawgrass? SLOW DOWN and control yourself! She might get to enjoy it too young grass hopper. This will prob blow your mind….but I also run the small Dewalt chainsaw with that same 9ah battery for hours….hours!!!!!! With breaks, while dragging limbs and stacking wood!
@@kimber841 Lol. I'll actually believe the real reviews with good testing methods and video evidence. Vs no evidence, anecdotal experience. + I owned the 1st gen 60v trimmer and currently own the gen 2 trimmer (and 4 other electric trimmers). Any basic trimmer can cut well maintained lawn grass on low for an hour~. But I 100% know you ain't doing a full trim/edge on a single 6ah battery 3 times on 3/4 acre property lol. Maybe 2x~ on a 9ah. Edit: the chainsaw part lol. Time moves different for slow people lol. Prob don't know how big 3/4 acre is.
lol, you are such a punk. You got me .I’ve been lying on TH-cam about my weed eater usage. Why are you the way you are? Lol
@@kimber841 Sorry when the math ain't mathing, I call bs
So, 20 min runtime on a 6ah battery, so about 30 min for a 9ah battery? I just got this trimmer and can't wait to use it. It's amazing what battery-powered devices are capable these days.
Can i use an offbrand battery with an adapter with this trimmer like I do with my 20v black&decker equivalent 7.5ah battery and adapter to dewalt 20v tools?
I can confirm with a 9ah flexvolt battery this trimmer will cut nicely on grass and typically weeds growing for 30 min on the low setting. Just like he said, it cut great even on low, I never needed the high setting and my grass and weeds were 1ft tall in areas. I was able to almost complete my entire property and my sleeping neighbors never heard a thing, amazing tool and maybe the best gift I ever received. THIS sold me on Dewalt cordless tools.
Oh, and it's lighter and more comfortable by far than my gas powered stihl and Miriami trimmers which I absolutely have to use a harness with and even then my messed up vertibre in my back (fecet syndrome, 1 mm of space for my nerves where should be 12mm or so) hurts so bad I have to stop and let it settle down, sometime not getting back till the next day..well, no harness on the dewalt and back is fine...unreal. This tool has got to be the best trimmer on the planet.
It's going to depend amperage battery.
Hopefully you get a chance to try the Milwaukee M12 brushless pruning shears when they drop!
Just got the m12 sprayer yesterday 😃
It would be nice to know if someone can build their kit from several brands and swap batteries between them. The best rated battery blower last I checked is an EGO. But the best string trimmer might be this DeWalt. It'd be a shame to have to buy all of your batteries per brand.
Does he do a gas one? Really not into the battery stuff mowing 72 lawns a week. We use the Stihl 91's and 94's. Last about 3 seasons with tune-ups.
3 seasons? Really? I would think Stihl would last longer than that
Thanks for this review. Best regards
No problem Brody! thanks for watching
Dewalt must know about their bump feed crap. I have a 20V Dewalt and changed to a Husqvarna head. I bought this 60V and will buy another Husqvarna head. Maybe I'll check out the speed feed.
Nice video. Thanks for the information my man.
Any time!
The Dewalt weedeater has been great the last few years. The batteries are terrible. For as much as they are, they have had to be replaced too often. And... one of the chargers went out on me. May have to go with echo ,or Milwaukee. Glad I have an echo gas , and a Stihl gas, weedeater.
how would you compare it to the EGO? Everyone seems to love those things
I like the dewalt string trimmer better than the Ego string trimmer however I like egos total lawn tool line up better than dewalts… if that makes sense lol
I have the EGO, it is heavy but they have great battery that last very long (and that is why it's heavy)
Great review!! Yeah the torque thing is so true! Those are some pretty sick glasses though, and a great price! Are you planning on doing a give away for this like you did the lawn leveler?
Sup dude! been seeing you around the community, nice to formally meet you!
And totally dude, those glasses are a no brainer, i had a pair of 3m glasses and they eventually crapped out on me haha
also unfortunately no giveaway this time but we do have a big one coming up fairly soon!
@@PrincessCutLawnCare hey man thank you for the warm welcoming! Plus those glasses look nice!! Ok cool I'll keep an eye out for the give away 👍🏻
Honestly I've been looking at that dewalt since I'm already on that platform with the battery system. Might have to make a move
My guy, my guy. If you ever need a lawn for a video, my lawn in Oswego is up to volunteer 😂
Ayooo was up neighbor! ill keep ya in mind haha
you have any major lawn projects coming up this season?
@@PrincessCutLawnCare i think I'm going to try and level my lawn for the first time
I'm not sure if sticking to one battery platform is 100% a great idea. From a business perspective... maybe... But still I would suggest to have at least two battery platforms. No tool manufacturer has all the best tools you may need for your job. So being able to tap into battery platforms, may actually turn into an advantage.
From a home owner's perspective, two... maybe even three battery platforms make sense... especially when you get the items as a kit (tool+battery+charger) and on sale.
If I’m not mistaken, the battery relatively small. 111Wh, the stock ego battery is 140, and even harts 40v trimmer is 140Wh. All these tool brands are really scalping us on the batteries.
This attachment capable Dewalt 60v is compatible with “rotary scissors”. Rotary scissors means u will never have to replace string ever again!
I heard the Echo Speed Feed works on the EGO too but requires an adapter.
Thank you for this review. Do you think this trimmer would work well with rotary power scissors?
I have that weed eater at the house it's just as good or better than a gas to me
Thanks Bud TC
no problem boss, thanks for stoppin by
Project Farm - The one dude I probably would follow off a cliff
This was a great video.
thank you jeff! means a lot
Good video brother...but where's the blade guard???
Thanks and I don’t use it
I wish there was a quality shoulder lanyard/harness for these trimmers, especially when you spend hours using one.
Does it turn clockwise or counter clockwise?
The trimmer in the link has a 9aH battery (DCB609). Are you using a battery you already had?
i bought the bare tool and battery separately on sale
great review. but i like my Ego better than the Dewalt. I love Project Farm have bought or replaced setups due to many of the reviews, but at some point, i feel like he's trying to be scientific about things that don't always matter, especially to avg homeowners. The "time to full torque" metric... slightly interesting, but its a stretch to me that it's a valid differentiator, again, for avg homeowners
I just came across this video a year late but that battery is only a 6 amp battery @ 20V. @ 60V it becomes a 3 amp battery.
Shout out to Naperville!
Ayoooo!

@@PrincessCutLawnCare nice! I just moved out from Romeoville! Over in Plainfield now, so if you ever wanted to test a product on a fresh build, let me know, because my gl backyard definitely needs some help. 🤣🤣
Can you put that speed feed head on the 20 V? The dcst922
Why not a straight up comparison, with total realistic cost, including at least 2 batteries? Battery vs gas. It takes me 1 hour to trim my lawn. What is cost comparison, how many batteries would I need, etc..
Who cars about the look of the trimer
I've used a stihl fs90 for years. got alot of kobalt 80v stuff though and I used the weedeater this season. I hate it. The angles are weird and I can't cut accurately and it's not powerful. gonna repair my fs90 and sell the trimmer
Hey George, do you know if the speed feed 400 fits the ego product line? My string trimmer head is starting to stick some, even after cleaning it up, and as you know a sticking trimmer head is pretty darn irritating after a while.
Hey buddy! yes it does, i recall seeing a video where someone was able to successfully attach it
Thanks George
What is ECHO's Part/ Model Number of the Speed Head are you referring g too? Thanks in advance
Hi, its: 99944200907
I bought one because of the power and the fact I can change the head to a POLE SAW ATTACHMENT (DWOAS6PS), Edger Attachment (DWOAS4ED), a Hedge Trimmer Attachment (DWOAS8HT).
nice!
That toro didn’t sound like mine I got a toro. Mine starts right up and doesn’t really lose power or struggle even on thick brush I used it on. So mines a single speed the other had a speed setting. I got a gas one though to kick some asses if needed. And the gas ones can attach all kinds of different set ups like chains circular saws chain saws and even a tiller for mine.
Speed feed 👍👍👍👍👍
Yes sor
Can you use the brush blade ? 10” model?
