#### Nevada Man (1 out of 5 stars)

**Broke Spool and Line**  
I have not even trimmed my front yard of a small home plot and I have had to re-spool and thread at least 20 times and the spool broke. The tool has power, and I love that fact, but I can't keep the line from breaking.

#### Matt got DeWalt fooled (2 out of 5 stars)

**Nice powerful device with bad quality motor**  
The trimmer when it works does a good job. But it doesn’t work for a long time. Using it for about 5 - 10 minutes it starts to smoke! This is not the kind of performance we expect from our products.

#### ToolFan85 (5 out of 5 stars)

**Great String Trimmer**  
From my experience, this trimmer is my go-to for trimming. Battery life is a lot longer on the slower speed and from my experience, the slower speed works great.
