Our take on the DEWALT DCST970X1S 60 V MAX Brushless String Trimmer Kit

The DEWALT DCST970X1S is a 60 V MAX cordless string trimmer built for heavy overgrowth. Its brushless motor and gear drive deliver more torque and longer motor life than entry-level trimmers, and the variable-speed trigger with hi/lo control lets you trade power for runtime. The 15-inch swath and 0.080-inch line (it also takes 0.095) put it in the same class as other pro-grade 60 V trimmers, but it is lighter and easier to control than many gas models. It suits homeowners with large lots and landscapers who already own DEWALT FlexVolt batteries.
