Kobalt is a company which produces different types of tools which are used for gardening, construction, sports, and even engine products so they aren’t focused only on gardening tools. In my opinion, the gardening tools category is their smallest branch. When it comes to the Kobalt weed eater models, I am pretty sure you will be able to find the one you are looking for because there aren’t many models you can choose from.
Each and every Kobalt weed eater model is battery powered which means that you can’t find a Kobalt cordless trimmer that runs on gas. That is great for people who want to use the electricity for their Kobalt cordless weed eater and if you are one of them, then you are at the right place.
Like I have already mentioned, they don’t have many Kobalt electric weed eater models. To be exact, there are 3 Kobalt weed wacker models and 2 lawn mower models, but in this post, I want to focus on their Kobalt battery weed eater models which means that you will find 3 Kobalt weed eater reviews.
Kobalt Weed Eater Reviews
Kobalt 40V String Trimmer
The first Kobalt cordless weed eater I want to show you is this Kobalt 40V battery string trimmer. This is one of the best electric trimmers on the market because it is simple to use and comes with a 5-year warranty which is pretty impressive. The straight shaft on the trimmer is easy to handle, but the battery isn’t as heavy as the Kobalt string trimmer head so you will have to adjust to the fact that it is not balanced. The head comes with 13“ cutting path which is more than enough if you are a rookie, but it could be longer for more experienced users. The Kobalt 40V battery is interchangeable which means that you can switch them among other Kobalt 40V products on the market. Many electric trimmers allow you to adjust the cutting speed and this Kobalt 40V weed eater has the same feature, which makes the entire process much more enjoyable because you can adjust the process to the state of your yard. The Kobalt 40V string trimmer is a very user-friendly product.
Pros:
The Kobalt 40-volt trimmer comes with 5-year warranty.
The Kobalt 40V battery is interchangeable so you can switch it easily.
Cons:
It is sold with and without the battery so make sure you are aware what are you buying.
The straight shaft is not telescopic so you can adjust it by your height.
Kobalt 80V String Trimmer
This model is far stronger than the Kobalt 40V weed eater I have reviewed above so you can expect good cutting performance. Besides the Kobalt 80-volt weed eater strength, there is another thing that is better; this Kobalt 80-volt trimmer is well balanced which makes it more comfortable in your hand during trimming. It also comes with the adjustable speed feature and this time you will really see the difference between the min and the max speed this Kobalt 80V weed eater provides. I like the fact that you can replace the head on this Kobalt 80V trimmer with attachments that can turn your trimmer into other tools, but make sure that the attachment fit on the base. The Kobalt 80V battery works great but remembers to cool it down before you put it in the charger to avoid overheating.
Pros:
The Kobalt 80V weed eater doesn’t produce too much sound or vibrations so it is very comfortable.
Besides that, it is also very well balanced so it sits nicely in your hand.
Cons:
Make sure you don’t plug the battery in the charger when it is hot.
Kobalt 40V Hedge Trimmer
Another Kobalt 40 Volt trimmer that might interest you is this hedge trimmer that cuts brushers and branches up to ¾“ thick. This Kobalt 40V battery is also interchangeable which means you can switch it with the Kobalt 40V string trimmer I have mentioned above. Just like other Kobalt cordless trimmer models, this one also comes with the adjustable speed control. The entire design and ergonomic handles make the entire hedge trimming process a breeze and you don’t have to be an expert to cut bushes like one with this Kobalt cordless weed eater. I like the fact that there is a safety lock-out button that prevents accidental starting of the trimmer because you can never be too safe.
Pros:
It comes with the same interchangeable battery like the Kobalt 40 V string trimmer.
It is simple and easy to use, even for the beginners.
Cons:
If you try to cut too thick branch the trimmer will jam and stop working.
Kobalt Weed Eater Parts
Unfortunately, there aren’t that many Kobalt trimmer parts on the market, but the good thing is that there are many universal parts that fit on most Kobalt trimmers. The most popular parts people are ordering are Kobalt trimmer cap and the Kobalt replacement battery because it is a good idea to have a spare part in your garage.
There is a big chance that they will produce Kobalt edger attachment because it is pretty tricky to edge with their trimmers, but that is something we will have to wait and see in the future. When that happens all Kobalt weed eater parts will probably increase because people love to buy replacement parts from the same brand and not the universal unit.
