Skil 12-inch Pivoting-Head String Trimmer Kit — 20V Battery, Brushless Motor, 2-in-1 Trimmer/Edger

The SKIL PWR CORE 20 12" Pivoting Head String Trimmer is a cordless 2-in-1 trimmer and edger kit that includes a 20V battery, charger, and storage bracket for fast, comfortable yard trimming.

This compact cordless trimmer combines a 12-inch cutting swath with a 90° pivoting head and a digital brushless motor to simplify both trimming and edging tasks. The kit ships with a 20V 2.0Ah battery, 60W charger, and an EASYSTORAGE bracket so you can start working right away and keep the tool organized when it's not in use. Its telescoping shaft and adjustable auxiliary handle let you set a working position that reduces strain while the auto line feed keeps line management simple.

How does the pivoting head make trimming and edging easier?

The head rotates 90 degrees so you switch between trimming and edging without changing tools. That pivot action lets you maintain a consistent cutting angle along beds, fences, and sidewalks for a cleaner finish in less time.

• 90° pivot for fast transition between functions
• Maintains proper cutting orientation for edges and borders
• Reduces the need to stop and swap tools

What performance can I expect from the motor and cutting system?

Equipped with a digital brushless motor, the trimmer delivers consistent torque and longer motor life compared with brushed designs. The line auto-feed advances cutting line with a simple trigger press so you avoid manual bump-feed adjustments while working.

• Digital brushless motor for improved efficiency and durability
• Auto line feed for uninterrupted trimming and edging
• Up to 12-inch cutting swath for faster passes

Is the tool comfortable and easy to store?

Yes—an adjustable auxiliary handle and telescoping shaft let you customize reach and balance to match your height and preferred grip. When the job is done, the included EASYSTORAGE bracket helps you mount and stow the trimmer and battery safely, saving garage or shed space.

• Telescopic shaft for quick length adjustment
• Auxiliary handle for better control and reduced fatigue
• EASYSTORAGE bracket for compact, organized storage

What comes in the kit and how long will the battery last?

The package includes the SKIL 20V 12" pivoting head string trimmer, a 20V 2.0Ah battery, a 20V 60W charger, and the EASYSTORAGE bracket. Battery runtime varies with cutting conditions: lighter trimming and edging will run longer than heavy, thick grass jobs.

• Complete kit: trimmer, 2.0Ah battery, 60W charger, storage bracket
• Runtime depends on grass density and user technique
• Brushless motor optimizes battery efficiency for longer use

Who is this for: The SKIL PWR CORE 20 12" Pivoting Head String Trimmer suits homeowners and weekend landscapers who want a lightweight, cordless solution for routine yard maintenance. It's a good fit if you need a single, versatile tool for both trimming and edging, appreciate a compact 12-inch cutting swath for maneuverability, and prefer battery power over gas for quieter operation and easier upkeep. If you already use other 20V SKIL tools, this kit integrates with that ecosystem for shared batteries and convenient storage.
