Dewalt 40V Max hedge trimmer

If you love the performance, quality, and durability that DeWALT is known for, you’ll love their new line of outdoor power equipment.

DeWALT has just launched their first battery-powered outdoor power tools which include two 40V MAX Brushless String Trimmers, two 40V MAX Brushless Blowers, and a 40V MAX Hedge Trimmer. We got our hands on all of them can they are AWESOME.

The 40V MAX power trumps almost every other cordless platform out there including some of the 80V tools. DeWALT claims that their new tools can replace your gas units and they are right. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend these tools to professional gardeners and landscapers.

The 40V MAX lithium-ion battery platform has their Extreme Runtime (XR) performance, that coupled with the brushless motors is a win-win for you.

The handles and grips are contractor grade and you’ll never slip. The plastic molding is very durable and one of our favorite features is how the blower can stand on it’s own instead of laying on it’s side. Those simple design changes are what makes this line stand out.

“DEWALT has entered the outdoor equipment category because it can deliver the convenience of cordless with the performance of gas. DEWALT 40V MAX* Cordless Outdoor Tools answer the call for power, runtime, and durability– the same performance expected of all DEWALT tools. Engineered for lawn care professionals, DEWALT cordless outdoor tools provide a solution for gas-free performance and low noise,” says Eric Prendeville, Vice President of DEWALT Outdoor.

No gas means less maintenance, including doing away with carburetors, spark plugs, and air filters as well as costly trips to the pump. It also means no more gas mixing, spilling, or storing required. Battery-powered tools start with just the pull of a trigger, eliminating the hassle of pull cords. DEWALT’s tools include a 40V MAX* 4.0Ah or 6.0Ah Lithium Ion battery and charger. With available back up batteries and a separate 30 minute fast charger coming soon, you’ll never have to run out of gas again.
