A very worthwhile investment if you have tall conifers to deal with every year.
Game changing piece of kit. Used to use a petrol long reach trimmer but since I only need to trim a very large amount of conifers twice a year it was a faff. The petrol was also very heavy and cumbersome, not to mention loud and necessitated having spare petrol and two stroke oil lying around.
The Dewalt long reach trimmer is relatively light for what it is, I did a lot of research into long reach trimmers and many of them suffer with a lot of weight at the head end. This is actually very balanced and easy to handle. Don't get me wrong, you DO need a good deal of core strength to use one of these!
It is also not too noisy either, given that it's electric and not right next to you there is no need for ear defenders which is another one to chalk up against the petrol.
If I was to criticise anything I'd say that the rotating joint at the head makes it feel like if you're not careful in handling you could easily break it as there's a lot of plastic involved but so far it has stood up to everything.
As for it's power/cutting strength vs a petrol, I find that against hefty conifers it does not struggle one bit and I have yet to jam/stall it out.
I use a mixture of 4.0Ah and 1.5 Ah batteries with this and I find that I can easily get my whole garden (LOT of conifers) without needing to charge any batteries on the fly.Read full review

Poor design
Sadly, the Dewalt pole hedge pruner is not up to Dewalt's usual high standards.
The main issue I have with it is that branch material does not easily slip into the cutter because the ends of the cutter teeth are the wrong shape and prevent the easy guidance between the teeth as do most other hedge trimmers.
Also the angle adjustment is weak and locates into position poorly. The trigger seems awkwardly placed and the pruner does not extend.Read full review

Excellent trimmer
Excellent product. I have the normal battery operated hedge trimmer and that works very well , almost 1 hours cutting from a single charge on a 5Ah battery. Think this will be similar quality. Balance and feel are just about right and cutting as impressive as the normal DeWalt model.Read full review

Usual dewalt quality and looks and feels very sturdy and cuts really well in many different angles
The problem I have with it is this, it really heavy and due to its nature too heavy which makes it harder to use smoothly and without over straining the operator
Maybe I’m weak I dunno Read full review

good but could be better
Overall it's a solid hedge trimmer that gives a really clean cut and doesn't labour on dense conifer growth like some.
Like other reviewers the main disappointment was the movement in the cutting head. It really needs to be solid if you want to achieve a clean finish first timeRead full review

Excellent tool
Excellent tool, long enough reach for nearly every job, plenty of power with a 5a battery.
Finished jobs in half the time, no steps, no extension cable to carry around.
Thoroughly recommended.

Ordered Sunday afternoon, here Monday lunchtime! Very impressive!! The machine is really good and I'm using it in place of my petrol Stihl hedge trimmer for small jobs with thinner branches. Much lighter and easier to handle. Read full review

I have other DeWalt tools and using the same batteries am adding this pole hedge trimmer to the set. The motor is a little far forward so making the weight more difficult to manage than I’d hoped but overall it’s not too heavy. Otherwise well pleased. Thank you Read full review

Arrived on time and well packaged. More robust than other lightweight trimmers. Works with my other Dewalt batteries. So far very happy
