Our take on the Craftsman V20 20V Cordless String Trimmer Kit CMCST901M1

The Craftsman V20 string trimmer is a 20V cordless straight-shaft trimmer with a 13-inch cutting swath, sold as a kit with a battery and charger. It suits homeowners with small to mid-size yards who want a light, easy-to-start trimmer without gas or a cord. Its straight shaft reaches under fences and around shrubs better than curved-shaft budget trimmers, but it is a light-duty tool: rivals in the same class offer more power and longer runtimes. Owners rate it well overall, praising its low weight and simple setup while noting limited cutting power in thick growth.

What reviewers say

  • 4.5 / 5192 ratings

Owners rate the trimmer highly overall, calling it light, easy to assemble and fine for routine yard work. The recurring complaint is power and runtime: it bogs down in thick growth and needs a spare battery for larger yards.

What people mention
  • WeightPraisedOwners say it is light enough to carry around the yard for a full session without fatigue.
  • PowerCriticisedReviewers report it slows down or stalls in thick, tall or wet grass.
  • Battery lifeMixedRuntime is fine for small yards but owners of larger lots want a second battery.
  • SetupPraisedAssembly is quick and straightforward, and the kit works right out of the box.
  • Line feedCriticisedSome owners find the bump-feed line advance unreliable and the spool fiddly to reload.

Questions and answers

Is the battery and charger included?
Yes. This is a kit, so it ships with a 20V battery and a charger. The battery also fits other Craftsman V20 tools.
How wide does it cut?
The cutting swath is about 13 inches (1.08 ft). That is narrower than most gas trimmers, which suits light trimming and edging.
Can it handle thick weeds and overgrowth?
Only lightly. It works well on grass and light weeds, but reviewers say it bogs down in thick, tall or wet growth. A gas or higher-voltage trimmer is better for heavy brush.
Does it come with trimmer line?
Yes, a spool of line is pre-installed. Replacement line and spools are standard Craftsman V20 trimmer parts.
Is it good for edging along a driveway?
Yes. The straight shaft and adjustable head let you rotate it for edging, and its light weight makes that job easy.
How does it compare with the V20 trimmer without the kit?
The bare tool is the same trimmer without a battery or charger. Buy the kit if you have no V20 batteries; buy the bare tool if you already own them.
Where is the Craftsman V20 20V Cordless String Trimmer Kit CMCST901M1 cheapest?
