I have the same trimmer and battery. In heavy matted field grass, I can kill the battery in 17 minutes….but it IS a beast
I didn't know about soaking the string and every review says that the string and hesd is garbage but you are the only one I have seen that recommends a solution!
Thank you !
I had no idea about soaking your line trimmer string. Best tip I have received this year!
I'm glad it helped !!
Thanks
Mike
Had same issue with one the 12ah flex batteries that came with my mower. But I had much better result. Found via a social media, an email address with some warrant rep contact info. And after sending a pic of the dead battery, rec'd the new battery in just a few days. It happened after about 6 months. Amazed how good/painless their response was considering it's a very expensive battery. Best customer relations experience I've ever had.
I also have the trimmer. Biggest peeve is lack of a cover for the head. I trim tall, thick dry grass and weeds in the summer. The tall stuff wraps around the head way too often. Also, I find the head doesn't release string very well. That said, the thing is powerful and blessedly quiet/cool - better than my old gas trimmers without any of the heat/noise/smell/gasoline + oil filling hassle. I'd recommend a shoulder harness for extended trimming.
I guess the algorithm likes you saying 'product' every 12 seconds when referring to the trimmer? Me, not so much.
How much does it slow down or stall when cutting tall, thick weeds?
I just got a universal bushing head that fitted to the 60v dewalt flexvolt powerhead seamlessly. great for thick rosebushes, that the string head just couldn’t handle. 15-20 minutes on a 9 ah battery…seems like a short run time…but I don’t mind taking frequent breaks. Super powerful!
I love the attention to detail in your review. The crazy fact about soaking string blew my own mind. Keep doing what you’re doing!
Thanks !
Thanks for the review. I've only had my trimmer for a few weeks and I love it. Great mention on the ECHO string. That made a world of difference for me. I've only soaked the string if it's old. I was watching another RUclips that mentioned soaking it if it's old, to bring back some flex to the string.
Helpful review - watching 20 + videos the last few days about dewalt weed eaters, attachments , etc, I learned about soaking the line.
Great ! I'm glad it helped !
My friend just yesterday called dewalt and got a free 9ah flexvolt on a trimmer and battery he bought at a yard sale. They didn't even want a receipt or even a serial #, just his model #
To me, this is a company that stands behind their products like non other I know of. I think some people just get that new representative or one that is having a bad day or even bad at their job. I've learned to just hang up and call back to get a different agent. But dewalt is super solid in all areas.. best out there by a mile, so take his comments against their customer service with a grain of salt.
I work for Black and Decker. I heard you mention that you used Craftsman before and now switched to Dewalt. Dewalt, Craftsman, and Black and Decker power tools are all the same now. The only difference is the battery between the three so you can't interchange the batteries between the three companies.
I wish i worked for black and decker !! Thanks for heads up....
It is my understanding that you can use most attachments from other brands with this trimmer. Just make sure it has the square shank connection.
all mine do ! was very happy to realize that !
Thanks for sharing your awesome review. Love the fact that you point out the cons as well. Most of reviews I've watched are extremely biased and only talk about the pros which doesn't help an individual determine whether or not it is going to be suitable. I am massive Dewalt fan however I complete agree with you about the customer service. The experience is incredibly frustrating so you are definitely not alone in that department. Keep making reviews and sharing content!
Thanks Jason ! This is exactly why I do this, to help people. I’m glad you got something out of it. Thanks again
Mike
I just found out about soaking the string in a review I watched yesterday. Never have done that.
We all didn’t know something at some point. Let’s all share ! Thanks for comment
Mike
I got a 20 volt it's great and the line is tough
didn't know they made a 20volt ! sounds awesome !
you only soak the line in water if it is sun damaged and dry. Otherwise, you don't gain anything by soaking it.
Thanks for the tip about soaking the string in water. I had never heard that.
Just after using my new DCST9721X, I found your video. Thanks for the info. The only thing I disagree with is your comment about the weight. I find the thing to be heavy. But, oddly, I see how yours rotates and moves as you handle it and it sure looks a lot lighter than mine. Weird. I'd also previously ordered that new spooler (it'll be arriving this week) and hopefully that will be good. As for trimmer line, Project Farm ran some comparison tests and really likes Maxpower Twisted.
Exactly what the tool brands want us to do "pickup another Flex volt and another couple DeWalt tools and you'll be fine".
you don't tools ? lol
@@FamilyDIYtv My point is they love having us come and buy more and more. Even when we don't always need it. Just wait for DeWalt to come out with the new awesome 24V system that is not backwards compatible. It was not that long ago their stuff was 18v
@@jurpikag well I 100% agree with ya there! There’s always the next best thing.. it’s annoying
I think the coupling on the long handle allows the blower, edger, hedge trimmer, brush trimmer and more as attachments. You mentioned not any or many. There are a bunch including the few you mentioned. Cheers.
Lol I would soak it regardless, what I also do is water the edges if I'm doing any. For dust and that reason, I would see less plastic flying everywhere.
I emailed them with proof of purchase...they sent me a new 12ah battery within 12-14 days. It wasn't that bad.
I'm glad it worked out for you ! so i guess your battery craped out to ? how long did it last before it went bad ?
-Mike
@@FamilyDIYtv about a year with very little usage.
Different story here in Europe.
Seller is liable in varying degrees for up to 6 years under our trade description laws.
They get 2 chances to repair item and then it’s replacement or refund at buyers choice.
Think this is good for 3 years plus warranty renews as if buyer had just purchased the item that day.
After 3 years there is a % sliding scale as to the value of the item compared to new price.
Complicated but it works and encourages buyer to buy from a reputable dealer or store.
I could have saved 50 or 100 euros by buying online , but if there is a problem it gets really complicated.
No wonder it retails here for 730 euros including sales tax ( vat) of 23%
As far as I know ALL flex volt tools use that type of battery I got the 7 1/4 skill saw and kit came with that exact battery
Seen some comments on batteries life etc.
@family diy tv , recon you got a lemon it can happen so easily.
As for lipo batteries in general
It’s bad to run them completely down. Now the BMS in the battery should prevent this.
Bad to store them discharged or fully charged. Or in extreme hot or cold.
Also leave battery temperature normalise to room temperature before charging it.
Optimal storage is around 80%.
Check and top up every 3 months or so.
I use an Ecig that takes 1x18650 lithium ion battery.
I usually swap it out and charge it once it drops to 15%
In fact 2 of my batteries are near 10 years old. In constant use and at this stage still nearly 90% of when new.
If one does get a dead/ refuses to charge battery pack , it’s usually the BMS that is preventing it charging because the cell voltage has dropped too low.
Can also be a defective cell.
Had this with a hoverboard that was left in a shed for over 2 years because of covid.
I opened the cover on this battery and discovered it had dropped to iirc 15v(48v battery cut off normally around 38 v , will not charge below around 25 volts)
So on battery side of BMS I connected a 24v /1a charger and monitored the voltage rise as it charged.
Think around 60 min later was up to around 25 volts.
No apparent heating etc.
At this point I hooked it up to its supplied 48v charger.
Charged as normal and is in use since with no issues.
Battery packs unless manufactured from low grade components or constantly run down till they cut out will last for years if the simple rules I listed above are followed.
Effort required does not come close to mixing fuel and servicing a gas strimmer.
Great points and the last point and effort is the best one ! I could definitely take better care of these batteries.
One guy made a video explaining that he ran into problems too when he switched up these batteries. Prolly best to just use batteries that come with your devices. I wouldn't put a 60v battery on a 20v device. I understand they say you can, but then when you run into issues... you don't know if it's because of this switch up or not.
Makes totally sense. I’ve been using batteries all over the place luckily haven’t ran into issue. Hopefully I don’t ! Thanks for the heads up !
Thx for the soak the string in water for an hour advice.
I've had mine for a few weeks and I bought it with a Echo Speedfeed head. It's a direct screw on and loads faster and it's more durable. I also bought the DCBL772 60v blower, it comes with a 9ah battery and charger. So I have plenty of run time and I'm going to be buying attachments soon. Great tool and thank you for the review 👍
Thanks !
I never heard about soaking the string before use...just plain water or soapy water. P.S. in my country that cost $650.00aus, still thinking if I should buy a new trimmer. I still have the first trimmer (and using) I purchased 36 years ago a ECHO two stroke SRM-220BE, in March 2022 I'll be 63 years old and its getting harder to cut the grass by myself.
Nice job on the review. Complete and detailed. You helped me make my purchasing decision. Thanks-
william ! Thanks for the nice comment - much appreciated!
I got one and all of my old Ryobi gas trimmer tool attachments work with it.
Delighted to hear this. Just ordered one to replace my old ryobi.
Hi, very interesting. Your old Ryobi attachments is the expand-it collection by Ryobi ? Thank you
Didn’t know you had to soak the string
👍 nice tip
If you turn your handle around, it handles much better. It’s a forward handle if you would have looked at the box picture or instructions. Good review though.
Mark, i tried both ways actually, i think between the first video and this video i flipped it. The way i have it now works good for me, but it's nice you can flip it for personal preference.
Thanks for comment !
-Mike
Put a echo speed feed 450 on mine. Perfect fit. No modification
awesome !
I'm about to order one!!! What's the difference in the 400 and 450?
@@michaelvoorhees5978 I believe the string size. I know both would fit with no attachment.
@@michaelvoorhees5978 it might just be the amount of string it can hold which ain’t much difference. The 450 works well but 400 probably easier on trimmer with less rotational mass. I just use ugly twister .095 string and it works great.
@@floatingturdgaming I ordered the 400 thanks
Soaking of the string is news to me. I will give it a try. Thanks
Yeah - actually just pulled my string trimmer out after the winter and I can notice the string is more brittle than it was last year. So prob once a year is good enough.
I had a problem with dewalt batteries and a charger that dewalt quickly and easily replaced through their warranty claims process. Just giving my positive review of dewalt customer warranty service
My small
Hands cannot remove the spool cap! I still have string on the spool so can’t just restring it. I had to get my son visiting to get head off for me. He’s gone now and I need to fix the string. Please help
Regarding soaking... I've done it and I feel pretty stupid expecting plastic to absorb water.
And I've seen no difference in performance.
That is all.
i never soak the string in water and haven't had any issues, however my sthil dealer did tell me years ago to soak it and it will take the memory out of the string. the dewalt string is bad for curling up.
👍🏾👍🏾Thanks for the review. Got me sold on it.
Nice review. Restringing looks surprisingly easy 👍🏻. Going to purchase one of these in the next week or so. Recently bought the DeWalt blower which came with a 20v 5ah battery so im thinking all i need to purchase is the trimmer and share the battery.
The string trimmer is the 60v flex volt platform. The 20v batteries will not work on it. The 60 V flex batteries are downward compatible to drills and other tools but the 20 V cannot operate the 60 V tools like the string trimmers. DeWalt does make the blowers in the flex volt line along with chainsaws and standard hedge trimmers. The flex volt blowers work 100 times better than the 20 V blowers.
@@chrisdurgala5548 Thanks for that I’ve been trying to figure that out now it’s clear I think I’ll return the blower I just bought and go with the 60 V system
I'm sure you're going to enjoy it ! I'm very happy with mine !
to make your line supple again soak it 24 hours and start with hot water. It works well.
never thought of hot water !
FINALLY!!!!!!!! Someone confirms that you can NOT use 20v batteries on this unit. I’m bending over backwards trying to stick with YELLOW but I can’t bring myself to purchase that awful plastic shakes of a extended hedge trimmer. Also I reached out to DeWalt regarding the pex expansion tool being out of stock EVERYWHERE! They actually answer “sorry you are having difficulties finding our product” REALLY!? 😠
Well thanks to this final pice of info I will NOT be buying this unit nor the super top heavy pole chainsaw with garbage hedge trimmer. And believe me, I have my entire truck yellow! Time to look somewhere else. Thanks dude 🤙🏽
They're coming out with more and more flex advantage tools but if you want gas power the 60v line is pure.
Well yeah, can't power a 60 volt unit with a 20 volt battery. The flex volt batteries are actually three 20v battery packs with electronics to switch between 20 v with more amps, or 60 volt with less amps.
@@AltimaNEO yes but I don’t see why Dewalt doesn’t come up with an adapter that lets you use a 20v battery, lets say a 12 AMP 20v to be used on a 60v tool, making the battery become a 60v 4 Amp. Just as you explained but backwards. Isn’t that possible?!
@@zjedinite that amperage on a 20V would probably overheat the battery and would reduce it's life significantly
Little update, I gave in and took a shot at a decent deal on the 60v trimmer with blower kit.
Just done some light work and so far IMPRESSED! One of the reasons I didn’t want to go with something else besides having everything yellow and black is that I’m banking on the power stack hitting the 60v battery line.
When that happens I could use this unit commercially. Imagine the 60v battery the same size as the 9 amp (3 amp @ 60v) but 36 AMPS!
36 amps @ 20v or 12 amps @ 60v
GAME OVER!
What is the thickness of the echo trim string?
Either 105 or 155 depending on the string ur looking at.
Never heard of soaking the string.
Echo "SpeedFeed 400" best head I've ever owned.
What's the difference in the 400 and 450?
Husqvarna 35 from what I hear is the best.
@@marcowens3522 T35 i believe ok :0
Great video. Thank you. I'm looking for a replacement Dewalt trimmer. Busted the head on my 40max. Do you have issues with the string breaking off inside the head where you have to stop trimming and fish it out? Bumping works but only if the string is already out. I'm using the same stocked orange and black string that came with the trimmer and that might be why. Also I did not know about soaking the string. Thanks for that tip also.
That is the string that he had a problem with in the first video. Looked like he had to fish it out.
However the has now replaced the head due to a similar issue you are describing: ruclips.net/video/51jSCngLMI4/видео.html
See link to his video
Yes ! I actually replaced it and posted video. Check channel. It started happening out of the blew !!!
Your comment on the Echo string is useless without specifying the string diameter...
Lol I have exact opposite experience. Battery life on the trimmer is not good. Dewalt customer service is very good will quickly send new parts or set up exchange.
Brandon - thanks for the laugh, I literally laughed out loud. It's crazy how people can have the same exact product and have completely different experiences - lol ! One thing I've learned starting this channel is, I may have one experience and other(s) can have the completely different experience, it baffles my mind every time. I'm glad to hear you got yours fixed so quickly. Is it good now ?
Nice review. After using also Ryobi andEgo power trimmers, Dewalt was by far the most heavy and did not have any more power than Ego. Ego is still way better than most.
Charles that’s interesting! i just checked and the ego is 1lb lighter than the dewalt! i didn’t know that. thanks for the heads up !
ego seems to be an awesome brand. i like the compatibility of dewalt batteries among my other dewalt tools. seems like you can’t go wrong !
Mike
Not sure how you came to that conclusion, the dewalt has twice the torque and power that Ego has. I have had my own landscaping company for 35 years and mainly did lawn care, this dewalt seems to have the same power of the gas trimmers that I use. I have only used the dewalt on 3 lawns but I'm impressed.
Hope you never need service from ego. It's nonexistent
Just ordered the European version of this.
Have a vast selection of dewalt cordless tools so made sense.
Same machine with subtle differences in parts fitment.
Ie while internally the European 54v flexvolt battery is same as USA 60v flexvolt battery, they will not connect in each other. Contact pins rearranged and or difference in casing.
Plus from many reviews the dewalt seems to have twice the torque.
Watch Project Farm. He does a very in-depth study of string trimmers. ruclips.net/video/j3ZCMcaAOVM/видео.html
Oops you just answered my question, thanks
Didn't know that....
Nor did I til I found out. Now we both know ! Woooooo.
Didn’t know need to soak my string.
Well of course the battery will last longer on a charge when you're just cutting grass that's hardly grown, but cutting actual 1-2ft weeds is the real test.
Didnt know about the soak
Hey - the amount I DONT know could fill a continent! Always learning !
Mike
I’m curious as to why the battery stopped taking a charge. Do you kill your batteries? You’re really supposed to put them on the charger once the hit one bar. You can feel a reduction in power. I’m more just curious is this machine causes excess load. I have 7 flexvolt batteries that I’ve worked hard but never let die and I’ve never had a problem
Never got explanation on why it stopped taking a charge, it just happened. I'm aware of the discharge suggestions but this battery was brand new, there's nothing I could have done to it, that would have made it not take a charge, short from physically damaging it, which i didn't.
think it was just a lemon :(
I now have two flexvolt batteries that I use just like my other batteries and they work just fine.
I could make time to discharge my batteries and do things like that, but let's be honest, I'm not gonna make time for that. - maybe i should ! I need them to be charged when i need them... on top of that, i have so many batteries, could you imagine trying to manage which one you need to discharge and when ?? ... ha.
Sounds like your batteries are good and in my opinion they'll prob be fine for a looong time..
Thanks for the comment !!!
-Mike
@@FamilyDIYtv thanks. I never discharge my batteries 😂 I know a couple people that have had those 60v give up but they always sheepishly admit they run them till the die regularly. I’m guessing you got a lemon. Thanks for the vid. Im going to buy one tonite
@@FamilyDIYtv hey just an idea, my old man told me to do this since I recently started getting into the Dewalt cordless tools. To keep track of your batteries label them with a sharpie. I have 2 1.7ah Powerstacks, 1 3ah battery, & 2 XR5Ah. I have the two Powerstack and the XR5Ah numbered “1” & “2” accordingly.
Helps me remember which battery I’m using because sometime I just get to working and when they drop to two bars I swap to a full and just leave the low-charge battery on my workbench or the seat of my truck while working.
I intend on getting more batteries so I figure this will help me in the long run.
@@FlyOnAlbatross thanks for the idea dude !
Never let your batteries drain completely but if your battery stop taking a charge there videos on RUclips that shows you how to get back to taking a charge it happened to my battery I drained it too far and wouldn't take a charge and watched a video of how to get it to take charge and it worked very easy
Nice
i personally find it a little heavy after awhile, could use a shoulder strap. besides that it has a lot of power.
It's good for you. Like working out
@@michaelvoorhees5978 ?
Never knew about soaking string, 🤨
don't know till you know...
How do you release more string? I've been having to twist the end to release more string when I realize I'm low.
tap it on the grass while it’s running. it auto feeds. …. every time you hit it on the ground a few inches come out.
I never knew you need to soak your trimmer string in water.
Garbage mine quit today, exactly a year IT lasted. took it apart hair thin wires on switch melted ....... was gonna repair but too cheaply made ...NOT READY FOR PRIME TIME,!!! Currently in the GD Trash Can!!!
It has a 3 year limited warranty.
Anyone one I’d try is ugly line (yellow triangle) or twist (green and black twist) or .095 black diamond. The black diamond may end up using more battery bc of the line being thicker but it should still b able to power it decently.
Ugly in .08 ugly twist in either 08 or 095.
The line feeding head will not last in my experience. Was not able to get parts at the time. Can be replaced with Echo Speed head. Direct replacement. Parts for it are available for them. Great trimmer.
I am getting used to mine. I love the convenience and the power is beastly. What I was used to was a curved shaft and counterclockwise rotation, the dewalt spins clockwise. I tried hacking it, but it didn’t work, but I am finally getting the hang of it. It’s a good product.
Great ! I'm glad it worked out... i'm starting to get fed up with the stock stringer head.... it starting to get clogged... prob need to upgrade.
Not advising hacking your strimmer because in reverse rotation trust angles to the head may not be correct plus most threads are usually designed to tighten in use.
Reversing rotation may cause the head to loosen.
I suspect this is a brushless motor and if so it has 3 phase wires.
Reversing 2 of these should reverse the rotation.
Normally swap the outside 2 with each other.
Check out videos on electric rc model planes and cars etc you will see how it’s done.
Finally AT YOUR OWN RISK
Lol
I know this is late. I use a Shakespeare head with their .095 ugly twist line.
Costs 700$ in sweden, worth getting for that price? :/
$700 !!! Wow. Hard to say, how much does a gas powered trimmer cost there ? Like $600 ish on average?
@@FamilyDIYtv ye around 600, for husqvarna 336 FR.
How long do you soak the string? And do let it dry before installing?
24 hours …. nah don’t need to dry it
You mentioned a preferred replacement spool?
yep - link is in description of video
@@FamilyDIYtv - Thank you Sir! Missed that. :-) Mine arrived yesterday so haven't had a chance to test it yet.
Imagine if your other dewalt batteries were interchangeable … !?
Q?
Did you soak your original string in water overnight?
you caught me ! I actually didn't, but I quickly swapped it out for the echo string. but now you got me thinking...
Soak string? Never knew
Geeeesah power😅
It's tisk, tisk
HA - i see that now ... ugh ! thanks for the heads-up
leaving you a comment 🥺
I did not know you were supposed to soak trimmer string…
Thanks !
Excuse me what??? I have to "WET MY STRING" i have that crossfire string as well.....
Another thing i learn from youtube or tik tok
you said it - not me !
didnt know to soak string...
yeah - when i found out i was like WHAT !!! makes sense
They even say your' suppose to keep it in a zip lock bag to help it from drying out... seems overkill
I like the review but don't really agree about listing customer service issues as a con about the actual trimmer seeing as the issue was with the battery.
Thanks for the comment ! Have you ever called Dewalt customer service yourself ?
@@FamilyDIYtv I haven't had to yet. But if I did I wouldn't chalk up the poor experience to a product review.
@@noblegas34 I would because I want to be able to solve a problem should one come up. If customers can't get ahold of you they go to someone who they can. Customer service is half the battle these days. Look at Chick-fil-A. They basically have one product yet own the entire fast food world. The sandwich is great. The customer service is what makes them stand above every other place. Same with Costco. You know if there is a problem, the handle it immediately and with grace. And we have to PAY just to shop there lol. Customer service is king and it's only getting more important.
The handle is way to big !! I replace my for the Eco trimmer much better
the handle doesn't bother me... lately the stock stringer has has been driving me nuts tho... but there's an easy fix for that .
-Mike
How is it for manscaping
seems risky - wouldn’t recommend
The trimmer kills the batteries, the same thing happens with the Milwaukee trimmer different brand same problem
mine last a long time - can trim house 3 times with one charge (and i have a lot of trimming)
Does it get 5g & WiFi?
nah- only 4g but maybe the latest firmware update will fix that !
Any wheel kit for edging…?
Not that i know of, but you can use attachments made by other companies.
I show that in this video at around the 7 minute mark >
ruclips.net/video/mmJynx5AT5Y/видео.html
There is a wheel kit for edging now but hard to find the peripherals are stuck in limbo with supply chains being so messed up. Thank goodness they are fairly universal.
Wish one person would do a great review and show the dewalt design where the head attaches. Dewalt uses some stupid ass special design that nobody else uses and nobody makes a brush blade adapters for.....I guess I'll have to buy a brush cutter attachment but it won't be a dewalt brand because of their reason for this. To force you to buy the separate attachment. Nobody shows this in any reviews. Attention to detail people!!!!!!! It's not that hard!!!!!!!!!!!!
Comment
Thanks for the comment !
Why the hell are the batteries so damn expensive!? Big turn off
It comes with a battery… when bought together you’re getting a string trimmer for 50 bucks. And then you can use that battery in other tools ! Win win IMO. But respect your opinion…
Mostly because they use high quality parts like the cells and the plastic housing. The cells usually have a 2 to 3 time longer life span being about 6 years on average. I have 2 20v packs date coded for 2014 and they are still working well.
The “ ish “ sounds silly. It ruined the review.
whoeevr built ur house, didnt bother painting the garage? really?
Yes and they only did the first coat of taping. Annoying I know.
