Does it come with a battery and charger?

No. It is a bare tool, so you need a Bosch 18V battery and a compatible charger, which are sold separately.

Which batteries fit it?

It uses Bosch 18V batteries and is part of the AMPShare system, so packs shared across that platform work with it.

Is it strong enough for thick weeds?

It handles grass and light weeds well. Dense, woody growth is better left to a higher-voltage or gas trimmer.

What does the anti-tangle system do?

It is designed to keep the cutting line feeding and reduce jams, so you spend less time stopping to clear the spool.

Is it a good choice if I own other Bosch 18V tools?

Yes. Sharing batteries and chargers across your Bosch 18V tools is the main reason to pick this bare tool over a kit.

Our take on the Bosch 18V Brushless String Trimmer (Bare Tool)

The Bosch 18V Brushless String Trimmer is a cordless grass trimmer sold as a bare tool, so it runs on Bosch's 18V batteries that you already own. Its brushless motor is built for longer runtime and less maintenance than brushed rivals, and the anti-tangle system is meant to keep line feeding instead of jamming. It suits homeowners with small to mid-size yards who are already in the Bosch 18V or AMPShare battery system. Against other bare-tool trimmers, its main draw is the battery ecosystem rather than raw cutting power.
