Does this trimmer have a lock-on trigger?

No! it is like a Chain saw and has a feature where you have to pull a lever back with your thumb in order to depress the trigger. I would think a Trigger lock would be not very safe.

I wasn't sure what a locking trigger was, so I looked it up. According to Consumer Repts, a locking trigger means you don't have to hold it down while you operate the trimmer ... which also means if you drop it or put it down while it's on, it will stay on until you turn it off ... could be a safety issue. Mine doesn't have a locking trigger, so it took some getting used to, i.e., if you let up pressure on the trigger even a little bit it's going to shut off.

NO, it does not. It has no need for one. it uses a 1/4" snap lock bit holder. It does have a trigger lock.I own two of these great little tools.

I'm sorry I thought it was for another model. So the answer is YES it has the autocutter feature. Sorry about the confusion.

Yes it has a variable speed trigger. It uses standard blades with a quick change collar works great I use it to cut 4" PVC pipe,tree limbs and various other jobs.

Yes it does, on the backside - it works pretty well; my only issue with it is that the pop-up trimmer doesn't like to stay up, it likes to collapse - you can easily hold it up with your index finger, though.

Unfortunately I can't agree with the other answers. I've had one of these QT4070 for a couple years and the plastic clip that would hold the door shut has snapped off and now the door doesn't stay closed. I've had to resort to putting a rubber band around it to keep the tiny hair trimmings from making a mess everywhere. Pity, because otherwise this is a really good trimmer.

No. You must hold the trigger, it is a safety feature by not having a power-on switch.

No they don't. You have to open the tool to use blade. But it do have lock.

No, This Lock does not have an autolock feature. Not having the feature was one of the purchasing process parameters.

No, it does not. Check out the SOG Flash II for a similar knife with a locking feature.

This tool does have a "trigger lock" which you can engage only at full speed. In my experience, this is more problematic than helpful as it is a: seldom necessary to operate the tool at full speed for an extended period of time and B: not particularly easily engaged and C: more commonly inadvertently engaged than intended. Coupled with the fact that the tool is capable of powering on by simply placing it down on a hard surface, due to its weight operating the trigger, I would suggest a different brand of this type of tool. I have advised DeWalt of these concerns and have been advised that DeWalt "takes safety very seriously " although I have not seen evidence of that with this particular tool.

It does not have a trigger lock. It does have a flaw in the fuel system causing the unit to fail within the first 6 months of use.

There is a switch you have to push first in order to squeeze the trigger in order to operate it. You have to maintain pressure on the trigger in order for it to run. A lock would not be a safe feature to have on a hedge trimmer.

Yes. It has both the string trimmer head and the brush cutter blade. Both work very well.

You have to press the safety switch at the same time you press the control trigger. After the blades start to run the safety switch can be released and the trimmer will continue to operate.

Yes it does. You simply pull the trigger handle and it releases the legs. When the legs touch the ground simply release the trigger and it's locked in.
