So this is the reupload somehow I uploaded the non-edited version by mistake. Now it seems to be in some sort of loop on CZcams so it won’t let me upload the thumbnail. Sorry guys for the confusion :)
What can I do to get more battery run time on the 20v
@@Rogerwayne96 three things that helps me
1) run it in low speed mode
2) move yourself faster so you aren’t wasting time on the throttle that isn’t cutting
3) get a bigger capacity battery
How that helps a bit
What battery’s are best ?
The bigger the better depending on your budget. The best weight to price I like are the 5ah 20v amzn.to/3aHrkBu or the 6ah 60v flex volt batteries amzn.to/3oepaMI
@@TOOLMANTIMSWORKSHOP I have the 5 Ah battery now and it didn’t do the job had to stop for a recharge
Glad I found your video! I just unboxed the DeWalt DCST922, used it for about 20 minutes and now the string won't advance!
Thanks so much for posting! I was so frustrated with the stock head not feeding AT ALL. The Husqvarna T35 head turns this weed eater into a beast for about $36 buck and a few minutes of time.
It seriously does
Thanks! Mr. Fixit hubby had a stroke 7 years ago, so when he can’t fix something like he always could it wears on his spirit😢 Your video gave us both the power of healing! We are ready to look for the huscavarna 35 string trimmer head for our Dewalt 20V!
Great to hear and glad you are both still going as strong as you can
Awesome❤
Thanks SO much... I can't believe how hard it's been to find solid info for the 20V XR heads. Just ordered the T35, but have extreme confidence thanks to your video.
Thanks
Ok Tim, I have a 20v Dewalt Trimmer and i just purchased the Husqvarna head from the link you provided. I'll return on Friday after installation and use to bump your page here and let everyone know how it works. Thumbs up!
Right, as promised I've done exactly what you said and, though it's a bit late I'm here!
If you own a DeWalt trimmer, buy the Husqvarna trimmer head one as shown in this vid by Tim. It is literally light years better than the one DeWalt provides and removal / attachment is as easy as he says it is.
5 stars.
Changed my unit's head. What a difference from the original head which lasted less than a summer season.
This is good news because the T35 is readily available. I’ve run my Husqvarna 40v in hard service for 5 years, the head finally failed, trying to get a new one (that one is right hand thread T25B). I bought this DeWalt, overall it’s okay but like you say the head is cheap crap, the DeWalt string is more durable than their head. I broke it after 30 minutes. DeWalt says don’t touch the ground, how are you supposed to bump it? Bought a new one ($34) but came here looking for a universal replacement next time I break it. Husqvarna actually understands that hitting hard things hidden in the grass is unavoidable but their smooth disk just bounces off with almost no damage. The DeWalt head has protrusions of brittle plastic which break if you inadvertently hit something hard.
Ironically I can walk into Lowes and buy the Husqvarna T35 head for my DeWalt trimmer (sold at Home Depot and Ace where I got mine) but I can’t get the head I need for my Husqvarna 40v trimmer.
Thank you for that GREAT info. Currently, I just use my DeWalt head until the hole is seriously gapped. But this Hus T35 should be a fantastic addition to my DeWalt wacker. Thanks again 👍
Right on
Glad I saw your video...had a T 35 on hand for my Husqvarna gas models and it transformed my 20v Dewalt into a much better tool !! Thanks !!
Our local Lowes keeps the T 35 and T 25 on the shelf...
Anytime glad you tried it. Crazy how good an upgrade it is
I'll try it. The string in my 922 will not stop dispensing. 15' "gone in 60 seconds", just like the movie.
Live in an urban area so there's lots of concrete and I burned out my dewalt head after about 8 uses. Appreciate the tip on the T35!
Loved that I discovered you on CZcams…..now for me to put this new knowledge to work?!?!?
I’ll keep you posted👍
Hey Tim, thanks so much for the information. I have a Dewalt 20v trimmer and I lost the spring in the line head and of course, Dewalt doesn't sell just that spring, they want you to buy the whole head. I never liked the design anyway so I decided to take your suggestion and replace the whole thing with the Husqvarna T-35 head. Thank a Bunch!!
Thanks for taking the time to watch
Great video.
I feel like I should be buying his pillow as well, to help him with his Dominion lawsuit.
Using the same head I've tried the dewalt speed head the echo 400 then i got th husqvarna use the husqvarna titanium .095 line most of the time i run the spool out started soaking the line in water seems to help because i think those lines get brittle t 35 is the best
Nothing is better than the Echo Speed Feed 400 trimmer head
Thanks this was super easy - i went with an ugly head hybrid and love it - took a matter of seconds.
It is such a great upgrade just remember not to go too hard with it and really thick grass because the heavier head and thicker grass can shorten the life of the motor if you’re not careful
I must be the only one that has zero issue with the stock trimmer head. I'd like to be able to install plastic blades though so this gives me some ideas though.
I bought the Husqvarna trimmer head and it works Great! so stoked, Thanks.
Thank you so much Tim. Now i can stop swearing every time I go out to trim my businesses parking lot. Mike in Rockford.
Thanks mike I do less swearing now as well
I have a DCST920 and its head doesn't look anything like your head. Will the Husqvarna still work with it? Why is the T35 better? Just that it doesn't wear out? Is it easier to reload string?
Just ordered the one for the 60v! thanks so much!!!
Just found your page loving The content man
Thank you nick I appreciate that man
I've heard that the Echo head works great on the 20 V DeWalt trimmer. Anyway, I can't get the DeWalt head off anymore. Manual says turn clockwise but it won't budge even after using a penetrating lube. Won't turn counterclockwise either. So, I'm not a happy camper right now.
Best informative video on head spool replacement. Lefty loosey righty tighty doesn't work
I have yet to use my DCST972 trimmer but have already ordered an Echo 450 trimmer head upgrade. Maybe the factory head will last for a few times.
Been running my "factory head" HARD for 3 years and have had not one problem whatsoever. Don't bump feed on concrete if you don't have to.
That’s good to hear. I have had such bad luck with mine and heard the same from so many others.
Same. On my 3rd year, I'd be so mad if mine broke within a few uses.
2 seasons, not feeding now. Cleaned, shaved inner hub... wont release line period. T35 it is
👍This is really useful information for those who want to upgrade from the factory spool to something better. Or in my case, how to remove the spool and mount a brush cutter head.
Thanks for the uodate on head fitment. One question on the trimmer line, my gaser still ran the .095 easily but the manual for this recommends .080 only. Since its electric i thought not to use a heavier line not to stress the motor, any comments on this?
Tkz again 😎
Is the Husqvarna push in strings? I like that kind. I don't like winding.
Not this one but I bet you could find one that works
Can you tell us the length of the two different screws so I can tell if I can use the stihl or not?
On my 60v trimmer, I just got, the head don't seem to be aligned with the powerhead. Can I just loosen the hex screws down by the trimmer head and rotate it then retighten..the manual is absolute garbage, I have to take pictures with my phone to even be able to read it.
Will the T35 also work on the 60v trimmer?
I really like our DeWalt 20v trimmer however, the head is horrible! looking to put a fixed head on, is there one available that you know of?
I have the 20v trimmer with the stock parts still and it just recently stopped working. It’s acting like it’s jammed and not starting to spin.. do you think if I changed the head it might work again or maybe it’s just the matching
Does it make any noise when you pull the trigger or is it stone dead. If it’s dead the. Return it there’s soemthing gone in the motor I had to return mine once because of that as well.
The dewalt dcst922 has failed me after two years the will not turn it tries but will not function. I have read the bearings in the motor fails
Are either of these heads easy to load like the DeWalt? That's what I love about it or is that now standard everywhere now.
(Hey I buy a new trimmer around once every 15 years or so weather i need to or not) ;
"The only tool you're going to need is a roofing nail."
That's how I know you know what you're doing!
I got the 20v also but head is too big it doesn't feel right. I don't get the feeling of cutting down to the ground
Thanks much. I fought with that head on my 60 V. 👏🥂
Glad to hear bill
Thanks Tim great video it helped me!
My dewalt head lasted one trip around my .33 acre lot. The bump feeder part broke and the head became really loose. All the string came off in about 10’ walking distance
Yep, I wish Dewalt would do something about that factory head but in the meantime, my videos on how to replace the head have done quite well on CZcams, but it would be better if they replaced the head
I just bought the 17in flexvolt trimmer and I have a brand new stihl autocut 25-2 replacement head. The threads are actually a little tight when trying to put it on. Just wondering if you had the same problem. So I'm going to find the t-35 head and see if it's better.
Mine runs a little bit and then slows down and stops and starts back and runs fine than stops again. Any idea what the problem is?
Thank you for the video. I appreciate the info. Blessings to you.
Thanks
Which one last longer and work best for the Dewalt 60V (DCST970X1)? The Husqvarna T35 or Sthil 25-2 head and why you choose one over the other?
We seem to have burned out the motor on our Dewalt String Trimmer: when you press the start lever it just clicks and turns about a cm and then stops. . . or maybe we stripped some kind of gear? Anyway can we replace the motor or other parts economically or do we need a new trimmer?
I hate to say it but basically it’s not worth getting parts if it’s under warranty send it back if not just buy the bare tool when it’s on sale
John from baton rouge ..I have a type II 60 v DeWalt...I can't get the T35 to fit .. am I doing something wrong?
Probably not Dewalt has been consistently changing their designs ever so slightly which means sometimes certain heads won’t fit
Hi handsome, "share success" I love that statement ❤
I have the original dewald head but after 1 jear its stil look's like new
Does the T35 fit with the safety guard on? Wasn’t sure on the string length.
Also it looks awfully bulky like it wouldn’t get to the surface, is that true?
My 20v head jus took a crap yesterday so looking to upgrade.
Thanks in advance!
It fits with the guard on and I honestly have never had a problem getting it right to the ground even though it is bulky
I hope you respond to this ,every time I tried to go to your links my computer would lock up ( I'm sure the problem is on my end ) how ever I have a Dewalt 60 volt and you are right the head is a piece of crap . So will the Sthl auto cut 25c or 26 2 work on my trimmer ?
Is the 20v in the USA the same as the dcm561pbs in the UK? Does anyone know if it's possible to find an attachment to fit a blade to this?
I just found you thank you. I just wrapped a ton of bigger tough weeds around my dewalt 20V . it quit working. Do you think I burned it up? or chewed up the threads?
I hate to say it but my money is on burned up. I have done that exact thing to two of them :(
Better than the echo speed feed?
Thank you
Good video bought the 20v and used the huscavarna 35 and the new spool is great
Thanks for sharing this video great job 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Did your update on the Dewalt 20 volt head but it constantly allows the string to go inside the head resulting in taking it apart to get the string out! Now what?
There is a small black spacer that goes on before you screw the head on. This way all the pressure is not on the bolt.
Can you replace the head with a blade, so you don't have to buy the brush cutter attachment?
I haven’t found a blade little bit on the 20 V one but the 60 V does sell a brush cutting attachment
will the ECHO Speed Feed fit on the 60v DeWalt..?
Thanks!
Thanks for taking the time to watch
Your link to the 60v replacement doesn't seem to work, hmm
Your last name isn’t TAYLOR by any chance? Thanks. I used the link and ordered the Husqvarna T35. I barely got through half a season of trimming before the junk factory head looked worse than the one on the video
Appreciate the support. Last names cook but I like your last name
Does anyone know if the T25 is compatible with that trimmed?
Yes it is. It’s the only one i can. Find that works with it this year
I thought it was just me. The head is horrible. My handle also split where the bolts attach in the first week of ownership. Been using it without the handle ever since.
Thank you so much for this!
No problem
@@TOOLMANTIMSWORKSHOP Switched mine over right after commenting. Massive improvement. Really appreciated.
Great info - thank you. I hear your Irish roots in your under- accent. Did you do your family tree?
I grew up in Nova Scotia so it’s that accent working it’s way out. It’s mellowed a lot over the last years but it’s certainly still there.
Echo 450 easy load for me ..
I also hate the dewalt head. But I actually like the dewalt string. Is it the same diameter as the husqvarna?
It is you can totally use Dewalt string it’s 0.080 diameter
@@TOOLMANTIMSWORKSHOP I have an RV park and use DeWalt tools, so it made sense for us to buy 3 DeWalt string trimmers.
Bought new t35 wont fit 20v. Argh!
Thanks it worked !
Did the swap. worked fine until the motor quit. Used it for only a couple of hrs. Hope it was not caused by the different center of mass :(
Ran mine for a solid year with it on
I’m still using the original head and my 20v keeps starting and stopping so I think it’s burn up
Yeah I read your second comment first and was thinking that I’m almost sure it’s burnt up that’s what it does when it happens
That's funny i was wondering what was with all the small pauses in the first uplaod
Worst thing was I had it done and uploaded for a week. Now I can’t upload a thumbnail to the new one. When CZcams glitches there isn’t much a feller can do
My 20v burned out anyone have this issue? I had it a few months but only used about twice a month. Shocking for the price it burns out that quick.
Yup. I ran mine for a total of about 30 minutes on high before it just died. I replaced the battery thinking it was just the battery and it ran for about another 5 minutes then died again and would not restart. The next day it started again and I've been just running it on low. I'm guessing it just overheated. Pretty pathetic when you consider how lightly I was using it. My $30 black and decker junk trimmer is far more capable but I was getting sick of the cord and thought the dewalt would be an "upgrade". How wrong I was.
I hate the dewalt head. I just ordered via your link. I hope it gets you some sort of commission. Thanks.
Thank you it does I appreciate the support let me know what you think of the head Dewalt combo when you get it running
@@TOOLMANTIMSWORKSHOP I assume fine. I am used to the bump feed heads on commercial trimmers. I didn't some were interchangeable.
I was struggling with my head so I googled how to replace head to see if I did anything wrong when winding it. Then I came across this vid. A commercial head is clearly a better option.
Link doesn't work for the universal
what size trimer wire are you using on the new head
FYI; STIHL is pronounced "steel"
Hey Tim I switched over to the auto load head and for some reason the line keeps snapping off it’s driving me nuts is there a certain size line I should use ?
That’s weird I tend to use the .080 line it seems to work better than the .095 stuff
@@TOOLMANTIMSWORKSHOP try soaking line in water you dont know how old the line is it gets dry and brittle i use .095 very little problems
Keeping it respectful, this is completely wrong. I have the 60v max dewalt and a stihl gas trimmer sitting right here. The dewalt shaft has a thread pitch of 10.0x 1.25. The stihl is 10.0x 1.00. I also have an autocut 25-2 right here too. Brand new in the package. Dosen't fit. Did you just cross thread it till it got tight. Thanks for nothing.
👍
The biggest issue with dewalt string trimmers is not the head but the motors. 100s and 100s of failures all over the web. Buy a different strimmers.
Just got my replacement under warranty. Failed under 30 minutes use.
😎🐝😎🐝😎
Thank you, the head on these trimmers are complete trash.
What about in 2024?
Whole unit is a piece of crap. Mine won't turn on after some light use. Just DOA. Not the battery, tried different ones.
Has anyone tried making a window screen dome over the top of the motor. It seems a poor design just made to suck in grass clippings and dirt.
If you delay replacing the piece of shit Dewalt head, it will come apart, and within a few seconds, the now out-of-balance head will ruin / destroy your motor. It happened to me and my just out of warrenty 20 volt Dewalt string trimmer. So, that was money completely wasted on my piece of crap, Dewalt... I have a number of Dewalt products i.e. drills, miter saw, random orbtal sanders, & pole saw, but they will never see another penny from this ol' boy!
This damn thing won't work either I'm tired of the Walk s*** I got a weed eater that won't work I got two pole saws neither one of work I'm sick of them I thought I was getting some damn good tools from really proud to have them and look none of them work
Talk too much
Thanks!
