Our take on the DeWalt DCST972X1 60V MAX* 17" Brushless Attachment Capable String Trimmer Kit

The DeWalt DCST972X1 is a 60V MAX cordless string trimmer built around a brushless motor and DeWalt's universal attachment system. It cuts a 15 in. or 17 in. swath with 0.080 in. dual line and offers a variable trigger plus hi/lo speed control to trade power for runtime. The kit includes a 60V MAX FLEXVOLT battery that also runs DeWalt 20V MAX tools. It suits homeowners and light-property owners with heavy grass and brush who already own DeWalt batteries; rivals in the 60V class match its power but few offer the same attachment ecosystem.
