After buying this trimmer and making it half way through the included trimmer string I found a problem that makes this trimmer a Do Not Buy. The trimmer I received was in fact not the trimmer pictured in the product description. It turns out that the same model has four different configurations. DeWalt calls them Types 1, 2, 3, & 4. The trimmer pictured is a Type 1,2,or 3. I received a Type 4. This is very important because the Type 4 DCST920B has a different string head on it and this is where the problem is. The string head / spool on the Type 4 does not have a divider for each side of the string as most all trimmer spools do. Both strings are found together on a non divided spool making it prone to snags. In the evolution of power trimmers, they found out a long time ago that dividing the spool prevents snags and problems.
So back to the original story. I got half way through the provided line and it appeared to be out of string. I opened up the head and there was plenty of string left. I rewound all the string methodically and started to work again. Two minutes later it failed again. One more time and it was time to take DeWalt up on their 90 day guarantee. This is the 4th power trimmer I've ever owned and I'm clearly done messing with 2 stroke engines. I really wanted a trimmer that just worked. After the trouble with the string breaking, I went back to the Amazon ad and noticed that the trimmer shown had the different head assembly. Further research showed that all the video reviews I had looked at before buying had this better type of head with separate sides for the string.
I have included a photo and parts break down so that you can see exactly what I mean about this particular trimmer head and spool and how it differs from the one in the ad. I hope seeing the pics and knowing the story helps you out.

So far it's been great for light trimming.2018年6月8日 在美国审核
HOWEVER: The unit I received is a 'Type 4' that even Dewalt parts knows nothing about.
This unit has a strange sppol head configuration, not the standard 'bump' button on the line spool.
The line spool has a cap that holds on with (2) plastic tabs.
I wanted to buy an extra line spool to allow me to stay in yard when I needed new line.
Nope. The Picture in the Amazon description shows the old [standard?] type of spool, however my picture shows the flat cap for spool I received.

This trimmer - and I've bought many hundreds of dollars' worth of DeWalt tools and never had a problem before - is utterly useless. Whenever I try to use it the string immediately wraps around the base of the cassette, as shown. I've only just started using it after buying in August, unfortunately, otherwise Amazon would get it straight back.2018年10月8日 在美国审核
November 3 update - it's still completely useless, worse than the cheap forty dollar one that I (unfortunately) gave away before getting this. The string simply will not feed and ends up about two inches long. Don't buy this!
