DEWALT DCKO215M1 20V MAX Trimmer and Blower Kit (Open Box)

I’ve used DEWALT construction tools corded & cordless for 30+yrs and never had any complaints at all. However this trimmer has flaws designed & built right into the machine. You can’t cut any tall grass at ground level and just lay it down without it wrapping around the shaft just above the spool for the string and you have to constantly stop and remove it or it puts a constant bind on the motor which will overheat the motor and reduce battery run time if it lasts long enough to run a battery down. If this wasn’t bad enough there’s more. The trimmer throws so much grass clippings at the user you’re covered from the bottom of your shorts to the top of your shoes and throwing all the clippings and debris everywhere also covers the air vents on top of the electric motor housing so the motor can’t even cool itself properly. My rechargeable toro trimmer lasted 25yrs without any of these issues except getting some clippings on the cooling vents but nothing like this DEWALT and brushing the housing for 10 seconds before I started each time was all it took but this DEWALT I don’t think you could clean it 5 times an hour and make it last. If I make it thru this one summer with this trimmer knowing it’s problems and I’m already doing more to try and get thru this year with this trimmer than I did to my toro in 25yrs. If I finish the year with this DEWALT I’ll be shocked & amazed and every time I’ve used it I want to run it over with my truck and get rid of it. I hope whoever designed this trimmer lost his or her job because it’s designed absolutely terrible.
