CRAFTSMAN 20V MAX WEEDWACKER Trimmer and Blower Combo Kit - Combo

In this review the CRAFTSMAN 20V MAX WEEDWACKER String Trimmer and Axial Blower Combo Kit is judged as a practical, entry-level outdoor power set for homeowners with small to medium yards. The single biggest reason to buy is convenience: it ships with a 4.0 Ah V20 battery and charger so the trimmer and blower are ready to use together, and the combo covers two common tasks without needing gas or separate power sources. The reviewer found it particularly useful where portability, easy setup and straightforward controls matter most.

Key Features

• 13-in cutting swath: The trimmer's 13-in cutting swath balances maneuverability and coverage so edging and trimming go quickly in tighter yards.
• Telescoping pole: The adjustable pole makes it easier to find a comfortable reach and switch to edging without bending over or changing tools.
• Automatic line advance: The trimmer feeds 0.065-in line automatically so you do not need to bump the head during normal use, which saves time and frustration.
• Brushed motor on trimmer: A simple brushed motor provides reliable power for routine trimming tasks and keeps replacement costs lower compared with some brushless systems.
• Powerful blower output: The blower delivers up to 340 CFM and 90 MPH for moving leaves and debris efficiently from lawns, driveways and patios.
• Dual-speed blower control: Two speeds allow choosing more runtime or extra clearing power depending on the job and battery charge.

Who It's For

This kit is best for homeowners with small to medium yards who want a cordless, ready-to-run pair of outdoor tools for trimming, edging and blowing leaves. It suits anyone who values lightweight equipment and simple controls over heavy-duty commercial power.

Users who need long continuous runtime for large properties or who perform heavy-duty brush clearing should look elsewhere for larger battery capacity systems or gas-powered equipment; some customers report mixed experiences with battery life depending on workload.
