The line fed consistently every time I bumped it, even when bumping it on semi-soft soil. I had no issues with line pinching or line pull-out. The trimmer has an adjustable 15″ or 17″ diameter cutting area that is serviced by a dual-line bump feed. But the beauty of this platform is the ability to also pull the battery off this 60V tool and use it in a 20V DEWALT tool seamlessly. The beauty of any battery platform is the ability to swap batteries and keep going. Runtime during actual operation will vary depending on the resistance of what is being cut. When I was done cutting I was down to 1x bar on the battery. At full charge, this battery allowed me to spend 45 minutes intermittently trimming around my property. The DEWALT DCST972X1 60V String Trimmer is packaged with a 3.0 Ah battery (9Ah in a 20V Flexvolt tool). For any Pro or homeowner running a weed eater for an extended amount of time (30 min+), you will absolutely appreciate the difference! Runtime and Power It was noticeable while cutting and even more noticeable when I stopped cutting and didn’t have a numb or fatigued shoulder. But without pistons moving, the vibration was significantly reduced. To be sure, there will always be vibration associated with a motor of any kind. Second, there was comparatively less vibration. That being said it isn’t a “whisper” motor by any means as it still produces a high-pitched whine when you push up the power. I’m in the habit of always wearing ear protection (mostly so I can listen to music while working) but I could easily have not worn any when using the DCST972X1. First, it is very quiet for a string trimmer. Lastly, the textured rubber overgrip and dual-stage tang safety lever with the large trigger are intuitive and comfortable to hold for extended runtime.Ĭompared to traditional gas-powered string trimmers I’d always used, this trimmer has two obvious advantages. From there the Hi/Low switch is conveniently located within thumbs reach. It is comfortable and allows the operator to easily position it to balance the weight of the cutting head and motor. The DEWALT DCST972X1 String trimmer features a well-designed and balanced “D” shaped handle. Variable trigger with HI/LO speed settings.Amp Hour: 3.0 Ah (9.0 Ah for 20V motors).Power Source: Lithium-Ion 60V MAX* Flexvolt battery.Fortunately, the DCST972X1 didn’t disappoint! I had high expectations and lots of weeds that needed to be cut. Having always relied on 2 and 4-cycle gas-powered trimmer, I was curious to see how a battery-based platform performed. The kit includes a 60V trimmer with a single 3.0 Ah battery (9Ah for 20V Flexvolt) and charger. I recently got a chance to test out one of DEWALT’s newest outdoor tools, the DEWALT 60V String Trimmer (DCST972X1).
