Product Specifications

The DEWALT FLEXVOLT 60V MAX String Trimmer Brushless Two Speed 15 Inch has more than one high-tech feature. It has a gear drive design that powers through the tough overgrowth, an impressive 15" cutting swath with 0.080 lines (also accepts 0.095), and a variable speed trigger with hi/lo speed control for added power or extended run time. It also has a lightweight and ergonomic design that maximizes control and minimizes stress on your arms.

It is also a pretty good weed eater, with multiple attachments from multiple manufacturers. Its 3.0/9.0Ah battery pushes the weight up to 13.5 pounds as a bare tool, but this doesn't make for an uncomfortable tool to operate, and the unit still has plenty of power.

It's the right combination of performance and versatility to make it our recommended string trimmer for the home gardener. The best part? A three-year limited warranty and a 90-day money-back guarantee back it.
