- How long does the battery last on a charge?
- Craftsman rates it at about 25 minutes with the included 2.0 Ah battery. Real runtime depends on grass thickness and how often you trigger the trimmer.
- Does it come with a battery and charger?
- This configuration includes a 2.0 Ah V20 battery. Check the kit contents for the charger, since some bundles sell the tool as bare tool only.
- Can I use other Craftsman V20 batteries in it?
- Yes. It runs on the V20 20-volt battery platform, so larger V20 packs fit and give longer runtime.
- Is it good for thick weeds and brush?
- No. It is a light-duty string trimmer for grass and edging. Thick brush and heavy overgrowth call for a gas trimmer or a higher-voltage brush cutter.
- How does it compare with a gas trimmer?
- It is lighter, starts instantly and needs no gas or oil mixing, but it has less power and limited runtime. For a small yard the trade-off usually favors cordless.
- What line size does it use?
- It uses standard replacement trimmer line for the bump-feed head. Check the manual for the recommended diameter before buying a spool.
