I can’t give a review on it. I bought one for my son. This exact one. Although it is reconditioned, it looks perfect. I’ve bought alot of reconditioned tools from CPO and haven’t had any problems. He hasn’t had a chance to give it a good test yet.
I already ordered mine. $119.99 for a trimmer, charger, and a 5.0 battery. Can’t beat that price.
That’s s good deal. Basically buy battery and charger get the trimmer for bout 20 bucks.

My trimmer arrived a couple days after my original post. Looks perfect. The battery had a full charge. I still haven’t tried it out on grass.
My son does some mowing. Has one yard that takes 2 hours to mow. (Scag zero turn) He took the DeWalt trimmer to test it out. Trimmed everything including to big ditches along the road. Took 2 batteries.
I would say that it more of a test than it needed.
I noticed they are out of stock now.
nice to hear! I have owned one for about 3 months and no problems so far.
I’ve used it a couple times now. It doesn’t have nearly the same rpm as a gas trimmer, but I wouldn’t expect it to. It is really handy. I can grab it, squeeze the trigger, and start trimming. For a regular yard, it will be plenty.
The more i see stuff from EGO, the more I want stuff from EGO lol
Funny I ended up ordering the Dewalt and CPO never shipped it. They did refund me after almost two weeks but I lost out and had funds tied up for like 13 days. Still when the problem was brought up CPO fixed it immediately.

Another strike against CPO!! That is so common with them
Honestly this is the first time I’ve ever had a problem with CPO. I’ve actually purchase several too.s from them without ever a problem. This kind of sucked but they rectified it quickly so I will still do business with them, I lost out on a good price though 🙁
I bought one from HD and I love it. For $144 thats a great deal.
I just noticed CPO has brand new string trimmer, bare tool, for $100.00.
I’ve used mine ever since this thread started. While I don’t recommend it for any heavy trimming, it works just fine for my yard. In fact, it’s the only trimmer I’ve used this year. Haven’t needed to start the gas one. The battery lasts a long time. The only downside is that it doesn’t seem to have much torque. It will bog down fairly easy. Even though it bogs down. Still the only one I grab.
Now I realize Amazon has the same thing, except with free shipping. Maybe free, you have to click the details.
