PowerSmart 20V MAX 12-Inch Cordless String Trimmer, 2-in-1 Weed Eater with 2.0Ah Battery & Charger (PS76112A)

All of my tools are currently corded, and sometimes lugging out the heavy 100' extension cord is enough for me to procrastinate (plus maneuvering the extension cord around the yard can really become a pain if you ever had to work with one at such long lengths). I have wanted one for quite some time but couldn't really find one on-sale until now.Although the trimmer is smaller than the corded one and does not provide as much power as that trimmer, it is still able to do a fairly good job handling overgrowths and trimming tasks. I do like the fact that these come with wheels where you can turn 90 degrees to use this as an edger instead.That said, there are some caveats when setting this up in which the manual isn't very clear about:* There is a rubber plug between the metal segments that has to be removed before the two segments can be secured with the turn screw. The manual doesn't mention this, but I guess perhaps this is implied.* The trimmer string has a knot on it that may need to be untied prior to operation. It is possible that the trimmer will eventually fling that portion off, but I have not tried this.* The screw that comes in the bag goes into the cover into the main motor unit. However, it doesn't seem that this space is actually threaded but is rather held by drilling the screw into the plastic. You may need some force and a big enough screwdriver to do this, otherwise you may risk stripping the screw head.* You are not supposed to adjust the angle of the trimmer while it is in operation. You are able to do this when it's off, and probably when it's the safest to do anyways. You will need to do this while changing between edging and trimming.* There is a safety unlock button that you have to press along with the trigger at the same time to operate the device. This isn't very clear in the manual because the button isn't very clear in the manual.* You will need to clip the metal protector on the edge and clip it on using the wheels. This is a bit confusing to do and might need some figuring out how to do. But it should be secure once it is done.Other than that, it works well and as expected and I was able to finish my decently sized yard even without initially charging the battery. It also uses the same standard 0.065" string which is the same as my other corded trimmer so I can switch between the two without buying specialized strings. Would recommend especially when it is on sale...

The product worked great until April 2023. I purchased it on 25 May, 2022.The battery is dead, so I called the company to get a replacement. After multiple calls and emails, it was still outstanding.However, they finally did send a new battery and this is now working perfectly. My lesson learn is using this product review as a mechanism to get the necessary help when there is an issue.Once I found the correct person to contact, it went very smooth with fantastic follow ups.I do recommend this device to anyone who needs a trimmer as it works great and is extremely easy to assemble and operate.From an operational perspective, it is five stars.

While it works as advertised you definatly need a second battery which are stupid priced

If you have a tiny lawn this is probably for you. And for that I would give it a decent review but I have a maybe .15 acre front lawn, I can’t even trim it without the battery dying. Honestly this was a total waste of money. My other grievance is that the blade to cut the string is missing after very light use. And I discovered this now that it’s gone and I may not have before. The string should only feed when you stop, flip it over, and push the button. Well instead it feeds all of the time. I do not have the automatic feed version. Even if it was this is constantly feeding out string. The string it comes with has the strength of dental floss. Before it started feeding out on its own I had to feed string out very often which required stopping, and hitting the button on the head. Save yourself mo yeah and buy something nicer, this thing is garbage.

So I can say it is valuable. But my dad said he don’t like the cordless. Because it's easy to run out of power.

This is a must have for trimming grass edges and beside the flower beds. It’s lightweight and easy to use. It comes with a rechargeable battery that charges really fast so I can always finish my task. It’s easy to assemble and small and compact enough to store away in small areas. The wheel allows it to simply be pushed along edges so there’s no need to lift it and hurt your arms, shoulders and neck. Great value.

Thank you

I used my trimmer today for the first time and was pleasantly surprised. For a light weight, inexpensive model it worked pretty well. I wouldn't recommend it for use on a farm or large country lot, but for a small lot without a tall grass or weeds it's fine. The adjustable trim head and handles are helpful, the edger works good. I sure won't miss dragging a long extension cord all over the place, and especially over and around my fence. I can't comment on battery life yet, but I used it for at least 1/2 hour and it's still going strong.

Works great and even better price

Battery life could last a bit longer - a bit heavy for myself but can manage - fast delivery

My husband used to do all the weed whacking but now I also do weed whacking thanks to this lightweight weed Wacker. I love it. So easy to use and it holds a charge for at least an hour or more. No gas or cords. My husband gives it a thumbs up too. You still may need a more powerful one for tough weeds but I am impressed.

battery die after one year, warranty 2 years...' is not true the seller just say I'm so sorry, try to buy a new battery... not available or pay the price for a complet brand new, good thing to know don't trust that brand
