Should have bought soone
I should have bought this sooner, I persevered with my old wired hedge trimmer which finally gave up overheating and smoking well, as I already had the batteries I bought the new hedge trimmer from Dewalt so easy to use lightweight and nothing to snag on.
Excellent equipme
What’s not to like about DeWalt machinery. They are just excellent and make the job so much easier. We had already bought the extended hedge trimmer for our very high hedges but it was proving impossible to cut the lower hedges without accidently severing the limb of someone helping so we bought the standard trimmer and can now finish the job with ease. Even the wife uses it and loves it. 🙂
GREAT BIT OF KIT
Nice Balanced hedge trimmer, surprised how efficient it is, only fault is the safety Handle nips your finger when you are using i
Dewalt headge trimme
Easy to use, good safety features. Reliability yet to be seen, it’s 2 days old. My 5aH battery went from 3 lights to 2 lights after using it on and off for about 30 minutes. Cleaning is recommended with a spray resin solvent and then oiling the blades. Personally, I also like the safe 3 way to turn on switch, for obvious safety reasons. Believe me, you DO NOT want this thing operating by accident, because the sharp blades will take off your fingers in an instant.
Good battery life
Very surprised at the good quality of the cutting action and it is much easier to use without a trailing cable. My battery had plenty of charge left when I finished cutting the hedges. A good purchase.
Thank you, Arthu
Swee
Swapped the battery from my drill into this, whizzed thru my privet and other bushes with ease. Great bit of kit.
Great piece of ki
Powerful, better than my Bosch mains powered one, like a chain saw.
Dewalt hedge cutte
Excellent tool for shrubs and hedges but it does become heavy on the arms when used for extended periods
Good, but.......
OK, so I’ve had this a month now. It’s really good, and the battery really lasts ages. But sadly, they European version has an extra safety switch over the US model – the microswitch within the D handle, so that the user has to have two hands on the handles, and you can’t wave it around in the air, reaching that bit that’s just out of reach. sadly, this switch is very cheap, and has failed, and since I’d only be refunded the cost I paid for it, and the price has since shot up thanks to Brexit, I would in fact be left out of pocket. So I shall void the warranty, and remove the switch.
DEWALT DISNEY
Exactly what I expect from Dewalt – always well produced, no bad drama and a very happy ending!
Great produc
Nice and light to use and a great safety feature on the trigger. Usual Dewalt high quality produc
Brilliant purchase
Brilliant purchase. previously used a 4 in 1 tool, this is much easier to use
Great trimme
I am a part time gardener which means I have lots of hedges and bushes to trim on a regular basis. As most of my power tools are Dewalt I have quite a few batteries to use with this product. It is very easy to use and the battery lasts a long time, doing a few hedges before having to change the battery. I have only had the trimmer just over a month but am very pleased with its performance and definitely recommend this product.
Good power, good run time
Used with 3Ah battery from another product and it has run for probably an hour of discontinuous use
all you would expect from Dewal
Previously had a Bosch trimmer which i was not very happy with, the Dewalt makes the Bosch look like a kids toy in compariso
Great little hedge trimme
Great little hedge trimmer not to heavy used it for at least an hour on a 4 amp battery the safety trigger takes a little getting used to but I would definitely recommend it.
Good all round 👍
blades really sharp and it’s light it makes it so easy to use I would recommend this.i
Great item.
Bought as a present and they’re very pleased with it.
Exactly what you expect from dewal
Ordered this as I already have a few 18v dewalt items, without the battery and charger so it was a similar price to some of the cheaper cutters, so a no brainer. Makes cutting through bushes hedge easy, so much better than the cheaper alternatives. Highly recommend.
Perfect weight for a not very strong woman!
I’ve always struggled with heavy hedge cutters, not to mention cutting through the wires of 2 wired pairs! After buying my boyfriend a set of DeWalt drills with two batteries I decided to invest in a set of hedge cutters compatible with the batteries and they are awesome! So chuffed won’t be having to ask him all the time to cut them now. Handy tip: you can extend the 1 year warranty to 3 if you register on DeWalt withing 4 weeks of purchase
The serial number is listed on the box if it isn’t printed on the trimmers. Took us ages to find it!
Very easy to use, machine.
Bought this machine bare, because I already had 2ah batteries.
Found it to be, very easy to use and handle, and perfect for cutting Laurel, and Castlewellan Gold, hedging.
Would definitely recommend if a cordless machine, is what you need.
its better than I expected
I thought this would not be as good as it is, 1 I thought the batteries would need changing while doing the garden well its fine in fact I am quite impressed.
Great bit of ki
As you would expect from Dewalt this is a well built machine, easy to use and powerful
A gif
This is a gift for my husband. Waiting for him to use
Dewalt name says it all
Should of bought one before, only tried it out works fantastically safe and easy to use. Will give a fuller write up in the future
Lot better than old petrol one
Much better than my old petrol hedge cutter which I was always having fuel problems with also lighter to use.
Easy to use, good battery life.
Easy to use, good safety features (It has two switches to stop accidental start up ) Important to remember, this does not come with a battery or charger, I already had these for another tool, otherwise it would have been quite expensive!
The battery life is very good and it recharges quickly. The unit with battery attached is not light, however it is lighter than the mains operated trimmer I replaced.
Watch out for the blade guard, it doesn’t slide off easily and there is a danger of injury when you pull it off!

Eccezionale
Da utente “cronicizzato” DeWalt (possiedo svariati accumulatori ed elettroutensili della marca), posso serenamente dire che questo uno degli attrezzi che non si pu non comprare, se attorno a casa si ha una siepe o dei cespugli da governare. A questo prezzo non si compra nulla di decente, e le alternative sono cinesate che montano batterie con attacchi proprietari – che significa, in buona sostanza, continuare ad investire su altre cinesate della stessa marca o rassegnarsi a riempire casa di svariati caricabatterie tutti diversi fra loro.
L’autonomia con batterie da 4 o 5 Ah fantastica: vi assicuro – a meno che non viviate a Buckingham Palace – che con una o due batterie riuscirete a sistemare giardino e siepe di confine.
Ovviamente, insisto, questo un must buy se gi siete parte dell’ecosistema DeWalt; altrimenti, considerate che l’acquisto di accumulatori e caricabatterie originali pu essere impegnativo.
10 e lode.
Great easy to use hedge trimme
Own a few DIY dewalt tools so bought this as didn’t need to buy battery’s and chargers. The hedge trimmer is well built and easy to use, guard when stored could be better but rest is 5 star even my elderly neighbour now borrows it rather than their plug in one.

Brillia
It’s absolutely brilliant, light, powerful with vgood battery. I’ve had it for over a year and have a large garden, I am very impressed. I use it on trimming cypress trees but also removing blackberries. I bought it for lighter works, now I don’t use my petrol trimmer any longer. Battery lasts for about 4 hours constant work with breaks for removing branches.
Easy to use.
Delighted with the hedge cutter. Looking forward to using it in the spring.
IMPORTANT INFO.
There is a post regarding registering for extended warranty. If you’re struggling to find the date stamp try where the battery clips in. On other dewalt products it’s found there, stamped into the plastic.
Very Impressive Hedge Trimme
Having just purchased this to replace a petrol driven version, I found that this is easier to use, very light in comparison and using a 5ah battery, managed to cut easily a 30ft Pyracantha hedge, 1.5m thick with ease, taking a good 6″ in height of the hedge. Took a little bit of effort to cut through the very thick stems but much easier than in the past with less strain on the arms. The 5ah battery was still charged at the end of the cutting. Very impressed with this trimmer.
DeWalt quality
Purchased because I have other 18V DeWalt tools. I have been very impressed by the power, and long lasting of my other tools using both 1.2 and 5 amp hour batteries. I wish the cutting blade was a little longer for greater reach, but apart from that it does a decent job on my conifer hedges.
Buy it - especially if you have other dewalt stuff
Excellent product. I used the 2 amp battery from dewalt drill and it worked fine. Really impressed
Excellent hedge trimme
Like all DeWalt products this is an excellent product. Not too heavy, cuts well with a lot of power. Slightly difficult to operate the safety button on the trigger but rather safe than sorry. Economical with battery use.
great trimme
only used it a few times.cuts and trims really well gets a little heavy after time but still excellent.
battery life is very good i only used a Dewalt 4AH had loads of use left in i
Great Hedge Trimme
Great hedge trimmer, fits in with the rest of my DeWalt tools
Very capable cordless Trimme
Having used a petrol trimmer I was a bit sceptical but I didn’t have to worry they easily cut through my overgrown hedges and were a pleasure to use, good battery life & lightweight well worth the money.
Easy to use
Decided to go for a cordless hedge trimmer after cutting through the mains cable for the umpteenth time of my other hedge trimmer.
After reading a number of reviews I went with the Dewalt as I already had some Dewalt batteries.
Once you master the safety triggers this is an easy trimmer to use and you’ll wonder why you never went cordless sooner.
Cutting strength is good and the blade length gives you good coverage for your cuts.
I’m pleased with this purchase.
Lightweight and well balanced
I find it easy to use, lightweight, especially compared to my previous electric trimmer, no more muscle aches. My hedge is a combination of privet, laurel, holly and hawthorn so variation in branch size and hardness. 2m high and about about 20m long.
I used my existing 1.5Ah batteries from my power drill, they last about 20 minutes each which is what I calculated from the option to buy the hedge trimmer with the 4.5Ah battery, so DeWalt’s estimated usage is about right.
Very pleased with the trimmer.
Impressive ki
For a cordless its an absolute monster. Cuts through larger branches than i thought it would and really agile. Plus takes the normal batteries 5*
Fantastic hedge trimmer! Really impressed with this. I had an old 110v which only cut on one side and felt a bit of a pain being held back by the wire all the time. To have the freedom of this cordless trimmer is such a bonus.
It cuts very neatly and with a 5ah should keep you going most of the day, depending on how many hedgerows you have. It’s very lightweight considering the size.
All in all very impressed. Would definitely recommend.
Good quality hedge trimme
Its so much easier using a cordless hedge trimmer and I was amazed by how long the batter lasted.
like all dewalt tools this works great having the batterys already makes this a good purchase, does not drain the battery as much as I expected , this could prove to be expensive if you had to purchase the battery plus the charger , but for anybody in the building trade who has the battery available, and like me buys the bare tools it is worth it plus unlike other cordless hedge trimmers is unlikely to become useless once the battery dies after a few yaers and replacements are no longer available, dewalt 18v xr are so widely used that they should be about for quite some time
Don’t hesitate because it cordless. It’s fantastic.
Fabulous. Was a bit wary buying this as there is nothing like the power of petrol trimmers but took a chance as I have loads of dewalt batteries (and strimmer) and am I glad I did. Received it today and it eats hedges for fun. Love it.
Faulty but dealt with excellently
Excellent product worked perfectly……….. until there was an intermittent issue with the handle grip safety switch. I tried multiple batteries and proved it was the safety switch.
Online forms completed with Amazon replacement was sent foc new one works fine old collected
Very happy with product and Amazon faults happen it was dealt with perfectly
Best Hedge Trimmer around!
Firstly, I’m a big fan of all DeWalt 18v tools and garden equipment. I have drills, saws, strimmer etc. and I’m always impressed with the quality of their products.
I purchased this trimmer for small trees and bushes at home, but used it for the first time at my in-laws today on 5m tall beech hedges. It was brilliant. It cut through the hedge growth like a knife through butter. Very sharp blades. Battery life is good. Used it for 2 hours on a 5 ah battery and still had 1/2 power left. Highly recommended. Don’t buy a cheap trimmer, it’s a false economy – buy something that do the job and last!
Great Hedge Trimme
already have a lot of Dewalt including the flexvolt stuff, this is a great addition to my tools. I am a landscape gardener and i have the Stilh petrol kit and i have only used this since i bought it, the other petrol versions have lay in the garage.
As Always Dewalt has produced a quality bit of kit.
The unit is light and easy to use, the battery balances the blade perfectly.
Battery life is good, I got about 1 hour cutting using a 5Ah battery with quite a lot of stop staring as I was using a step ladder and have to keep moving it.
It feels very well made and the switches and very clunky not cheep and flimsy.
I would recommend the cutter to other customers but I would also recommend 2 batteries and have 1 on charge while using the other.
Already had a decent electric trimmer but because we have a 50 feet hedge running alongside a cut through walkway which starts after a fence and side of garage appropriate 60 feet long decided to invest in a cordless version.
Saw this reasonably new model from DeWalt so decided to order the bare unit since already had batteries with my drill and multi tool.
Ordered on a Tues and it arrived on Thurs.
With battery attached it isn’t overly heavy but it is very well balanced.
It has a very good safety mechanism in the trigger switch.
My partner used this to trim one side of the hedge and it took her less than 10mins – less time than it would have taken to set up the electric one with all the cables- so No Hassle and with the added safety bonus of no cable to accidentally cut through!
She is very impressed with this unit.
Used a 3.0aH battery but not able to properly assess battery life, but I have the luxury of more than one battery available so just kept spare charged up ready to go if needed.
Also used this to cut through thick branches of a bush we were removing- again impressed with its performance.
Overall very impressed with the quality and performance of this piece of kit and glad we invested in this model
In the past I have bought cheap cordless hedge trimmers and yes they work but the battery life is poor and they wear out too quickly and difficult or impossible to buy replacement batteries. So i decided to spend more for a Dewalt as I have their cordless drill which is great and came with two 2AH batteries. The trimmer was bought without a batteries as the 5AH is not cheap. Having used it for the first time and using one of my 2AH batteries it lasted about 25 mins, more than enough time to do my hedge. Im glad I didn’t shell out for the 5AH as this would have added to the weight and I didn’t need anything more than my drill 2AH. I hope that helps others who are trying to decided if they need a bigger battery.
Easy to use and reliable product.
A reliable product you can trust is ok for a fair cu
Extremely light weight and gets the job done!
Extremely light weight hedge trimmer. Tackled all my bushes and hedges in less than 10 minutes! Highly recommend this great trimmer!
Worth it.
Used with 6ah flexvolt and was still lighter that the old mains flymo trimmer. Nice sharp blades and made short work of trimming the hedge. No lead to get tangled up with and cut.
Amazing!
Amazing! Couldn’t ask for a better item.
Cordless so no risk of cutting the cable. Option of buying different size batteries for your needs.
Extremely light and chops through every bush I’ve tried with ease.
Great little product.. but not a direct replacement for mains tools
great little piece of kit.. but dont be fooled .. it will cut your hedge.. but if its thick. it will just not have the grunt compared to a main powered trimmer… I will use this on a regular basis but not dispose of the mains equiv just in case
Brilliant Hedgetrimme
This is an excellent machine which I have used extensively over the past few months to cut hedges and trim shrubs. It is a very well made hedge trimmer and using the 4 or 5ah batteries runs for a very long time. Much better than previous hedge trimmers that I have used.
A must have for the garden.
Excellent well engineered product. Good safety features and quality blades. Battery life is excellent.
Well made ,easy to use
Very impressed,
Brought body only as I have 54v flexi volt batteries it’s a bit heavier with them in but quite manageable,
Used them a good 4hrs still 2 led lights on battery display,
Cutting wise could not fault them so far ,very easy to use
Bit on the pricey side ,you shouldn’t be disappointed !
Quality brand
Debated over this compared to cheaper versions Having bought it I can honestly say I am 100% happy I did Great quality light and very sharp blades
Excelle
This trimmer is excellent for the job light weight easy to use
Decent bit of kit.
Cracking light weight and well balanced bit of kit. Use with my 5ah batteries and lasts so well. Only gripe, it would be great if it was a little longer, or had an extension to remove the need to use with ladders.
I really bought this for the other half to use as I have a Bosch cable hedge trimmer but it’s long to get it out first then the lead and is quite heavy alright for me but not the other half being a chippy by trade all my power tools are Dewalt battery powered saw the reviews on this so purchased it this is so good I use it all the time and just as good as the Bosch cuts through at least 1/2 inch branches with easy and with a spare battery her in doors can change the battery with ease Dewalt the best you can get!!
Really good!
This works really well, battery lasts ages (I have 2 x the 5AH one). Makes short work of our hedge, particularly as I wouldn’t be able to reach with our extension cables.
The only issue now is that I’m not very good at cutting in perfectly straight lines…
Good Value for Money
Only used once so far but I am very pleased with how well it cuts through hedges. Is is quite light compared to patrol driven equivalents with less noise and vibration. I would recommend this trimmer to my friends and family
I’ve been using a cheap “Gardenline” branded trimmer in my garden but having recently spent a fortune on DrWalt 18v tools, I thought it was the perfect excuse to upgrade. I’d been watching the price on CamelCamelCamel for a while and it hit my target so I pounced.
The difference in quality between the cheapo version I had and this DeWalt model is night and day. It cuts through pretty much anything I’ve thrown at it with ease. There is a maximum cutting width but I don’t think I’ve got anywhere near that as it’s far greater than I’ve needed to cut when doing the conifers.
With a 5ah battery on board, I was able to get through two lots of conifer bushes (5m x 2m) with ease, and was still showing three bars on the battery indicator. I’m not sure how long it would run for on a 5ah battery but much longer than the average garden would require on a single charge.
Very impressed – also registered with DeWalt for the 3 year warranty for free.
Perfec
Wonderful to use without the nuisance of a cable. Power lasts for ages. Great balance, light and easy to use. Very happy with the tool.
I am new to cordless trimmers and I was on the market for a decent one as, having moved to a house with a bigger garden, I now need to deal with some large hedges. I got this during a price drop and since I already own DeWalt XR batteries, it was a no brainer to get while offered at a great price. The unit is of standard DeWalt quality, feels very well built and it balances nicely with the 5 Ah battery. It also lasts surprisingly long with said battery, I can easily finish all the hedging in one go. Despite being heavier than some other models, I found it easy to operate from more awkward positions too. This trimmer is fairly powerful, chopping off 1/2 inch thick branches with ease so you have to be very careful where to point it. I like the safety measure of having two switches, requiring both of your hands to operate the unit. When the blades rub against each other they do make a louder than average sound so wear protection if this is a concern. Note that it’s important to keep the blades clean and lubricated after use but the impression is that these will last long. Will update this review over time if needed.
As opposed to other reviewers, I signed up for the extended warranty without issues.
Impressed
De Walt make Excellent Power Tools, This is another one!
Wish I’d bought a cordless trimmer years ago.
Trimming the hedges are no longer a major chore!
Obviously the plus is that it’s so much safer and simpler to use than a model with a cable. No need for trailing extension leads and constantly having to check that the cable isn’t in the way of the cutting edge. I can just focus on tidying the hedges. Overall, the amount of time spent tidying up the hedges was reduced which I consider to be a bonus.
I chose this particular make / model as the same battery can be used with other tools from this manufacturer.
It arrived today and looks a good tool – we’ll see. I’m a bit annoyed at the moment though because the enclosed documentation includes an offer for a three year guarantee but it’s impossible to register because the tool doesn’t have the date stamp or serial number required. The Dewalt UK website doesn’t give any means of contact, they will take a lot of personal information from you though. Trying to sort out the warranty took longer than cutting a large hedge. I think the warranty is 12 months – ignore the extended offer.
Great hedge cutte
Comparable to the average petrol hedge cutter, very nice tool to use, run time is surprisingly good too
Not too heavy+ good safety features and cuts fairly thick hedging.
All my cordless tools ate DeWalt so no compulsions about buying this trimmer.
Already have sufficient amount of batteries so just purchased bare tool. Its DeWalt so the tool speaks for itself works fine would recommend.
Great product.
Usual dewalt quality, can’t fault it so far and battery lasts ages.
I still plan to get a 54v 9a to use on this and the blower that’s the next addition to cordless range but I have to say that running on an 18v 5AH I had no issues, done all my hedging on one battery, nicely balanced and simple to use, went though some reasonably thick branches too. Equally as tough as the wired Bosch unit I’ve used for years and cordless, no brainer. My inventory of dewalt cordless tools continues to grow. Will still get the 54v 9ah battery and charger when feeling flush. Great tools, absolutely zero regrets.
Fantastic Dewalt Hedge Trimme
Fantastic Hedge Trimmer!! Cuts very well and very light for a lady to use.
I would have know problem in recommending this.
Great . Very happy
Works great . Petrol hedge strimmer getting too heavy for me and one with lead not suitable . This cuts well is light enough and I would recommend anyone buy it who is considering one . Battery life great with a 5ah battery that’s not included so be aware .
just perfect for medium size garde
Should have got one before, just perfect for medium size garden, cuts very well, one battery will very easily do the whole garden and still got power left to use it for drilling a few holes. As always, great DeWalt build quality, not the lightest on the market but not heavy either, cutting is better than any other i have tried.
Five Stars
Best trimmer I have come across, good cut and long lasting battery
Great piece ok ki
Bought this to replace my heavy petrol trimmer, this is the best and lightest I have ever had , very quiet and does all my large garden on 1 battery charge, I have now bought the Dewalt strummer also superb
Had this about a year now. Used to have ...
Had this about a year now. Used to have a petrol trimmer. This is so much easier to use. Does not quite have the power as a petrol, but its starts first time every time, its light to use and has a run time of about 30 mins.
Grea
eeded a replacement hedge trimmer and as I already had Dewalt cordless kit got this. I is really good and has no problem doing the job intended
Easy to use
Easy to use, not the lightest but ok. Works well.
Superb, should have bought one years ago!
Very impressed with this.
Far easier to use than have trailing leads.
Having numerous Dewalt cordless tools, it is easy to use the interchangeable batteries.
Due to the in-built safety features (appropriately so) this is quite difficult to use one-handed.
Well worth buying
Easy to use and cuts through hedging I’ve never been able to cut before. Costs a little bit more than others, especially if you need a battery, but well worth every penny spent.
I’ve been retired many years, and this trimmer makes my gardening life a lot easier, especially as it is well balanced making the weight of the unit easy to manage.
Apart from looking good, as soon as I switched it on, I had confidence in my purchase.
Cuts through brambles like butter, nice and light to hold and lasts ...
Cuts through brambles like butter, nice and light to hold and lasts ages on a 5ah battery, especially compared to the line strimmer which seems to eat through them for not as much work. Best XR purchase yet.
well worth the money
i had let a big laurel hedge get very overgrown where it backs onto a field, this cut through quite thick branches with ease. made the job so much easier. Great with no cable to get in the way. runs for a good long time on my 4ah battery so didnt need to switch to another.. i already have 3 dewalt batteries , so the bare unit was good value for me.
extremely impressed.
An Excellent Hedge Trimmer. This unit replaced a mains Bosch Trimmer, which was well over 20 years old. The first thing that struck me was how light the unit is, even with 5Ah batteries attached.
It has nice wide teeth, which allows for thicker cuts. I Managed to trim a 30 meter leylandii hedge, top and side, on a single 5Ah battery.
Far more convenient than a mains unit, yet also surprisingly comparable.
A happy customer. Well worth the money, I hope to get many years out of this too. Highly recommended.
This is an extremely nice hedge trimmer not particularly light weigh but very comfortable to use, it uses the same battery as is used for the dewalt strimmer which I also have and is also excellent to use, it’s a joy not to have to bother with mains cables – so makes jobs very much easer and quicker to do. You can tackle the same sort of hedge cutting as with a mains powered trimmer the dewalt seems just as powerful. It’s difficult to say how much hedge can be cut on one fully charged battery because that will depend on the size and type of hedge you may have but I think I could cut my 40 metre beech hedge which is 1.5 metres high on one full charge.Having a spare battery makes for much more convenience.
Very light and convenient compared to ‘ old’ mains trimmer.
No lead means no concerns about accidentally cutting through cable. Much easier and safer to use when up a ladder cutting top of hedges. Safety switch is easy to use and hands much less ‘ strained’ than when using other similar trimmers .Battery last well ,lots of juice left after trimming 100 ft of hedge. Must be a mild winter since leylandii is already sprouting , not the cheapest trimmer but a good investment.
Awesome tool well worth the money, all you want to do is trim bushes all day. cant fault this at all. great size and weight to use.
Totally delighted with the item, arrived prompt and well packaged, and great price.
This trimmer is the best investment I have made, great lightweight, having no cables and operates well on fully charged battery lasting almost over 70minutes of continuos operation. Very easy to handle and operate, and cuts well giving good clean finish. Highly recommend this trimmer, worth every penny.
A bit heavier than my B&D corded, weight balance is towards the tip as the blades are substantial.
Positive “click” from the handlebar is good & also a small switch on the trigger must be kept down as well to prevent safety stop, this turns out to be easier in practice than it sounds.
Trimming without a cord to swish about is wonderfully liberating.
Comes with a decent plastic blade cover.
My 2ah battery lasts about 10 -15 mins of actual cutting but is lighter to use than the 5ah this is usually sold with.
Only just up to the “Dewalt quality” build.
Makes as much noise as any other hedge trimmer.
Bought summer 2016 for 110 bare unit, fantastic value.
A bit pricey but I already had the batteries.
It is very, very convenient to use with no trailing cable. It allows me to shape and trim hedges with ease. It is well designed and well put together.
Cut quality, ease of use and battery life all superb. Will not need petrol hedgetrimmer in future.
Generally good quality, as you would expect from DeWalt but, subjectively, it’s noisier than my old mains-powered Bosch 46G, with more mechanical clatter, so I’ll be using ear defenders as recommended. The blades had not been deburred after sharpening but they cleaned up after the first cutting session. The ends of the bolts that hold the blades together have also not been deburred and I managed to remove some skin on them in my excitement to get the product out of the box. I already had a charger and an 18V 5Ah battery, so at 110 it was a real bargain. So nice to use without a cable!
Five Stars
superb product, i used the batteries from my other de walt tools, exceeded expectations and very light and sharp
