Built for heavy-duty outdoor work, the DEWALT DCST972B Cordless 60V String Trimmer delivers high cutting performance with the flexibility that professionals expect from their tools. Powered by DEWALT’s innovative FLEXVOLT system, this attachment-capable string trimmer makes quick work of trimming thick overgrowth, clearing fence lines, and edging hard-to-reach spots. The brushless motor boosts runtime and durability, while the universal attachment capability expands the tool’s functionality far beyond a standard trimmer.

The DCST972B offers a 15″/17″ adjustable cutting swath and a variable-speed trigger that allows you to match cutting power with the task. It accepts DEWALT 0.080 in. and 0.095 in. line, and the Quick-Load Spool system means less downtime between jobs. If you’re already running DEWALT’s 20V or 60V MAX* tools, this model is a solid addition to your system. This version is sold as tool only—battery and charger sold separately.
