- Does it come with batteries and a charger?
- Yes. It ships with two 4.0 Ah V20 batteries and a charger, so it is ready to use out of the box.
- How long does it run on one charge?
- Craftsman rates it at about 63 minutes per battery in light cutting. Real-world runtime drops in tall or wet grass, which is why two packs are included.
- Can I use my other Craftsman V20 batteries in it?
- Yes. It runs on any Craftsman V20 20-volt battery, so it shares packs with other V20 tools.
- Is it good for edging and thick weeds?
- It handles light edging along beds and fences. It is a string trimmer, not a brush cutter, so thick weeds and saplings are a struggle.
- How does it compare with a curved-shaft trimmer?
- The straight shaft gives more reach and control and adjusts telescopically. Curved-shaft models are usually lighter and easier to store.
- What cutting width does it have?
- It is a 13-inch cut, narrower than many 15-inch trimmers, which means more passes on large lawns.
