CRAFTSMAN V20 Cordless String Trimmer & Edger, 13-inch Bare Tool — Automatic Line Advance, Telescoping Shaft

The CRAFTSMAN V20 13-inch cordless Weedwacker (bare tool) is a lightweight, battery-compatible string trimmer and edger that delivers a 13" cutting swath with automatic line advance for fast yard cleanup.

Built to join the V20 battery family, this CRAFTSMAN string trimmer/edger is a tool-only option for homeowners who already own V20 batteries or who prefer to mix-and-match bare tools. Its compact 13-inch cutting path, two-speed motor, and automatic 0.065-inch line feed minimize fuss during routine trimming and edging tasks. The unit also includes an ergonomic telescoping shaft and an integrated hook for tidy garage storage with the VERSATRACK system.

How does this tool switch between trimming and edging?

The V20 Weedwacker is designed to convert from a standard trimmer to a dedicated edger quickly by rotating the head to an edge position. The telescoping pole and head design make the transition intuitive, so you can follow landscape lines and curbs without changing tools.

• Turn-to-edge head for seamless mode change
• Ergonomic telescoping pole adjusts for comfortable edging angles
• Compact 13" swath makes accurate edge work easier

What power and runtime features should I expect?

This model uses the V20 battery system (battery and charger sold separately), and offers a two-speed setting to prioritize either power or longer runtime. Selecting the lower speed conserves battery life for extended sessions, while the higher setting delivers more cutting torque for dense weeds.

• Two-speed selector for power vs. runtime balance
• Compatible with any CRAFTSMAN V20 battery and charger
• Efficient motor and 13" cutting width for quick coverage

How does the automatic line advance and cutting head perform?

The automatic feed system advances 0.065-inch line as needed, eliminating the need to bump the head. This reduces interruptions and keeps the cut consistent, making it simple to maintain lawn edges and trim around obstacles.

• Automatic 0.065" line feed for continuous cutting
• No bump-feed required—fewer interruptions during use
• Suitable for light-to-medium grass and weed control

Is this trimmer easy to store and handle?

The trimmer is built for homeowner convenience. Its lightweight build, telescoping shaft, and integrated VERSATRACK-compatible hanging hook make storage and handling straightforward, while the ergonomic shape reduces fatigue on longer jobs.

• Lightweight, user-friendly balance for maneuverability
• Telescoping pole adjusts to different user heights and tasks
• Integrated hanging hook fits the VERSATRACK garage storage system

Who is this for: The CRAFTSMAN V20 13" Weedwacker (bare tool) is aimed at homeowners and weekend gardeners who already own or plan to use CRAFTSMAN V20 batteries, and who want a compact, convertible trimmer/edger with automatic line advance. It’s a practical choice for small-to-medium yards, routine edge maintenance, and users seeking a straightforward cordless option without a bundled battery and charger.
