Researched thoroughly and purchased this bare to be able to use them DeWalt XR batteries I already have. I would have preferred the non-split shaft but couldn't find it. The joining piece is a bit agricultural and I don't think I'll ever split it apart, it's more for their convenience in shipping. The instructions for fitting the shield are poor, you may need to refer to YouTube, it's actually easy but not obvious

Well designed ans suitable for fit people. I find it a bit big, heavy and awkward for someone now weaker and getting on in life.

I'm very impressed with this but of kit. It's a solid high quility tool and fairly long compared to the big standard 240v strimmers you usually get from garden centres. I have an average to small size garden but the grass was very overgrown, especially the borders as they haven't been done most of the summer due to my last strimmer packing in. This cordless strimmer cut away the thick tall grass no problem, the wire is fairly thick and hard to break unless your putting it where you know you shouldn't. It's surprisingly powerful for a cordless, more than the 240v ones I've had in the past. I'd avoid trying to cut too much at once though as it will burn the motor out eventually. I did use the strimmer to cut up some bramble vines, it didn't like it but sliced through the smaller vines no problm.. I used a 5mah battery that displayed a full charge {3 bars} but I can't remember when it was last charged, this lasted for my whole garden without running out of juice, it still displayed 1 bar when I was done. If you already have DeWalt cordless tools and batteries, it's a no brainer, definitely add this to your collection you don't be disappointed, I just wish DeWalt would do many more garden tools as other brands perticularly Ryobi have a much better selection of kit but a rate dewalts quality over most of the other brands.Read full review

Nice machine, very powerful, makes easy work of even the longest of grass. With the grass being so long and thick I did find that I had to make multiple changes of batteries. Hopefully now its short the number will decrease markedly.

So far all working good,did some light strimming and heavy duty strimming. The instructions for assembly were useless but I found how to do it on Youtube. As to winding on the nylon hope I can work that out. With a 3 year warranty I would give this 5 stars.
