CRAFTSMAN V20 String Trimmer and Axial Blower Combo Kit CMCK297M1 — 2.0Ah Battery, Telescoping Shaft

This combo pairs a multi-position string trimmer and a compact axial blower on the V20* battery platform so you can trim, edge, and clear debris without a cord. The trimmer offers a telescoping shaft for customized reach, two-speed control for tradeoffs between runtime and cutting power, and an automatic 0.065" line advance so you won’t have to bump to feed line. The blower uses an efficient axial fan and brushless-style motor design to move leaves and grass clippings with up to the kit’s specified airflow and speed while remaining lightweight for easy handling.

How does the trimmer make edging and trimming easier?

The trimmer converts between a trimming position and a turn-to-edge configuration so you can shape borders and trim along sidewalks or flowerbeds. Its telescoping pole adapts to different user heights and working angles, and the two-speed selector lets you favor power or extended runtime depending on the job size.

• Telescoping pole for customized reach and balance
• Two-speed settings to prioritize power or battery life
• Turn-to-edge design for clean edging without tool changes
• Automatic 0.065" line feed eliminates bumping

What can I expect from the axial blower’s performance?

The blower is built around an axial fan design that maximizes airflow while keeping the unit light enough for extended use. A variable-speed trigger gives you precise control, so you can dial down power to conserve battery or use full throttle for heavy debris and dense leaf piles.

• Axial fan design for consistent high airflow
• Variable-speed trigger for controlled bursts or continuous power
• Lightweight construction reduces arm fatigue during long tasks
• Efficient motor architecture for practical yard clearing

How long will the included battery run and where else can I use it?

The kit ships with a 2.0Ah V20 battery that balances weight and runtime for common trimming and blowing tasks. Because it’s part of the CRAFTSMAN V20* platform, the same battery fits other V20 cordless outdoor tools and power tools, letting you swap batteries across compatible equipment.

• Included 2.0Ah V20 battery for balanced runtime and weight
• Battery is compatible with other CRAFTSMAN V20 products
• Quick swaps let you extend runtime by using spare V20 batteries
• Charger availability depends on kit configuration or separate purchase

How do I store and maintain the kit after use?

The tools can be stored neatly using the integrated VERSATRACK hook or with standard tool storage systems; the VERSATRACK system is sold separately. Regular cleaning of the cutting head and blower inlet, and keeping the battery charged and dry, will help maintain consistent performance season after season.

• Integrated VERSATRACK hook for convenient hanging storage
• Keep cutting head free of tangled line and debris for best operation
• Wipe blower inlet and nozzle clear after heavy use
• Store battery in a cool, dry place and charge periodically

Who is this for: Homeowners, renters, and weekend landscapers who want a versatile, cordless pair of tools for routine lawn care without managing gas or extension cords. It’s suited to users who value a compact, lightweight blower and an adjustable trimmer that converts to edging, and who either already own or plan to build a CRAFTSMAN V20 battery collection for faster swap-and-go convenience.
