Our take on the Skil PWR Core 40 40-volt Cordless Battery String Trimmer and Leaf Blower 2.5 Ah CB7478C-11

The Skil PWR Core 40 kit pairs a cordless string trimmer with a handheld leaf blower and shares one 40-volt 2.5 Ah battery and charger between them. The trimmer uses a 13-inch cutting swath with a bump-feed head, and the blower moves air at a modest rate suited to paths, patios and small yards. It suits homeowners with a small lot who want two tools without gas or cords. Against 18V and 20V combo kits it brings more voltage and torque, but it is heavier and less refined than premium 40V and 56V systems, and the single 2.5 Ah pack limits runtime on bigger jobs.

What reviewers say

Owners of Skil 40V combo kits generally find them good value for small yards, with easy setup and enough power for trimming edges and clearing dry leaves. Complaints center on battery runtime, the need to swap the single pack between tools, and a blower that struggles with heavy or wet debris.

What people mention
  • Battery runtimeCriticisedOwners say the single 2.5 Ah pack runs down quickly and forces a recharge or a swap between tools.
  • Blower powerMixedIt clears dry leaves and grass clippings from paths, but struggles with wet or heavy debris.
  • Trimmer performancePraisedReviewers find it cuts grass and light weeds well for a homeowner trimmer.
  • BuildMixedThe tools feel light and easy to handle, but the plastic housing and guard feel basic.
  • SetupPraisedAssembly out of the box is quick and straightforward.
  • Line feedCriticisedSome owners report the bump-feed head jams or feeds line unevenly.

Questions and answers

Does the kit include a battery and charger?
Yes. One 40-volt 2.5 Ah PWR Core battery and a charger come in the box, and both tools run on that same pack.
Can I use other Skil 40V batteries in these tools?
Yes. The trimmer and blower accept the PWR Core 40 battery line, so a larger pack from another Skil 40V tool fits and adds runtime.
How big a yard is this kit meant for?
It fits small to medium suburban lots. The single 2.5 Ah battery limits longer trimming and blowing sessions, so larger properties will want a spare pack.
Is the trimmer a straight or curved shaft, and what line does it take?
It is a curved-shaft homeowner trimmer with a bump-feed head and a 13-inch cutting swath. It uses standard replacement trimmer line.
How does it compare with 18V combo kits?
The 40V system gives more torque for thick grass, but the tools are heavier and the battery drains faster than many 18V kits with two packs.
Can the blower handle wet leaves?
Only lightly. It works for dry leaves and clippings on hard surfaces, but wet or matted debris needs a stronger blower.
Where is the Skil PWR Core 40 40-volt Cordless Battery String Trimmer and Leaf Blower 2.5 Ah CB7478C-11 cheapest?
At Lowe's, for $219.99, as of our latest check.
