CRAFTSMAN V20 13 in. String Trimmer and Edger Kit with 4Ah Battery — 2-Speed, Turn-To-Edge Convertible

For homeowners who want a single battery-powered tool to trim lawn edges and cut through dense grass, this CRAFTSMAN kit combines a brushless motor performance boost, a wide 13-inch cutting swath, and an included CMCB204 4.0Ah battery with charger. It ships with a pre-loaded spool that uses 0.065-inch line, two speed settings to balance power and runtime, and a Turn-To-Edge design so you can switch from trimming to edging without swapping tools.

How long will one charge last for typical yard work?

On low speed with the included 4.0Ah V20 battery, you can expect up to 63 minutes of continuous runtime—enough to complete most small to medium yards on a single charge. Higher speed or dense, thick grass reduces runtime but increases cutting performance.

• Up to 63 minutes per charge on low speed with CMCB204 4.0Ah battery
• Two speed settings for balancing runtime and cutting power
• Actual runtime varies with grass height, density, and cutting pattern

Will it cut through thick or overgrown grass?

This trimmer delivers significantly more cutting torque than some previous V20 models, making it better suited for heavy growth. The more powerful motor slices through tougher stalks and helps prevent bogging down on dense patches.

• Approximately 52% more cutting power versus an earlier model (based on manufacturer comparison)
• 13-inch cutting swath clears wider passes, reducing overall time
• 0.065-inch nylon line spool designed for general-purpose trimming

How easy is it to switch between trimming and edging?

Switching modes is simple thanks to the Turn-To-Edge feature: rotate the head to convert the trimmer into an edger without tools. The adjustable handle and lightweight design keep the tool stable and comfortable while you change cuts along sidewalks and flowerbeds.

• Turn-To-Edge functionality flips the head for edging in seconds
• Adjustable handle height for a comfortable stance during trimming or edging
• Lightweight construction improves maneuverability around obstacles

What comes in the box and is it compatible with other CRAFTSMAN tools?

The kit includes the CMCST901 string trimmer, one pre-installed spool with 0.065-inch line, the CMCB204 V20 4.0Ah battery, and a charger. The battery is part of the CRAFTSMAN V20 system and will work with other V20 cordless tools for shared power across your tool collection.

• Includes: CMCST901 trimmer, spool with 0.065-in line, CMCB204 4.0Ah battery, charger
• Battery compatible with the wider V20 lineup of cordless equipment
• Two speed settings let you prioritize power or longer runtime

Who is this for? Homeowners and renters seeking a versatile, battery-powered trimmer/edger that balances long runtime and stronger cutting performance will appreciate this CRAFTSMAN V20 kit. It’s aimed at users who want one dependable tool to maintain lawns, tackle thicker grass than basic battery trimmers can handle, and convert quickly to an edger for clean walkways and borders—all without the noise, cord, or fumes of gas-powered equipment.
