Our take on the DEWALT 60V MAX* 17" Attachment Capable String Trimmer (Tool Only)

The DEWALT DCST972B is a 17-inch cordless string trimmer sold as a bare tool, so it runs on the 60V MAX FLEXVOLT batteries you already own. A brushless motor drives the cutting head, and the shaft accepts DEWALT's universal attachments so one power unit can become an edger, pole saw or hedge trimmer. It suits landscapers and large-yard owners already in the 60V system who want gas-like power without the pull cord. Against single-purpose trimmers it trades a higher bare-tool outlay for attachment flexibility and shared batteries; against lighter 18V or 20V trimmers it is heavier and more powerful.

Questions and answers

Does the DCST972B come with a battery and charger?
No. It is sold as a tool only, so you need a DEWALT 60V MAX FLEXVOLT battery and charger, sold separately.
Which batteries does it use?
It runs on the DEWALT 60V MAX FLEXVOLT battery system. Any FLEXVOLT pack in that line fits.
What attachments can it take?
It uses DEWALT's universal attachment mount, so compatible edger, pole saw, hedge trimmer and similar attachments fit the power head.
How does it compare with a gas trimmer?
It delivers comparable cutting power without fuel mixing, pull starting or exhaust, but you are limited by battery charge rather than a fuel tank.
Is it worth it over a 20V trimmer?
If you already own FLEXVOLT batteries and cut heavy growth, the extra power and attachment options justify it. For light trimming in a small yard, a 20V trimmer is lighter and simpler.
What is the cutting width?
The cutting swath is 17 inches, wider than most 20V trimmers, so each pass clears more grass.
Where is the DEWALT 60V MAX* 17" Attachment Capable String Trimmer (Tool Only) cheapest?
At Hartville Hardware, for $279.00, as of our latest check.
