DeWalt is starting the season strong with a new wave of outdoor power equipment designed for professionals, property managers, and anyone who wants to keep up with weekly yard work without fighting their tools. This isn’t just a “new color, same tool” type of release either, DeWALT’s newest OPE lineup focuses on the things users actually care about: stronger cordless performance, longer runtime, quieter operation, and smarter designs that make storage and transportation easier.
This release includes four key categories of outdoor tools: the DEWALT 20V MAX XR Blower, the DEWALT 20V MAX XR 24” Hedge Trimmer, the DEWALT 20V MAX Foldable String Trimmer, and the new DEWALT 60V MAX String Trimmer built for heavy overgrowth and professional use.
DEWALT 60V MAX 17-1/2” Brushless Cordless String Trimmer: Built to Compete with Gas
The biggest attention-grabber in this release is DeWALT’s new 60V MAX string trimmer, built specifically for professional landscapers who don’t want “good for cordless” power, they want performance that actually competes with gas. This trimmer was designed to take on heavy weeds, dense overgrowth, and thick brush without slowing down, and DeWALT backs that up with bold performance claims. It delivers peak torque up to 63% greater than a 36cc gas string trimmer, and peak power up to 18% greater than a 36cc gas model. That’s a serious statement, and it positions this tool as a legit replacement option for crews that are ready to move away from gas maintenance and noise without losing cutting performance.
What really makes this trimmer feel “pro” is the comfort and control design. It includes an LED display that quickly communicates tool information at a glance, and the handle setup is built to support precision and long-session control. Overall, this 60V string trimmer is clearly aimed at landscapers and hard-use trimming, where power and efficiency matter more than anything else.
60V MAX 17-1/2 in. Brushless Cordless String Trimmer Kit (DW-DCST980X2)
If you want the complete setup that’s ready to run all day, the DW-DCST980X2 kit is the go-to. It includes the DCST980 trimmer, a charger, and two DCB609 60V MAX batteries, which helps reduce downtime and gives you more flexibility on longer workdays. This kit also comes with a single shoulder strap plus an auxiliary handle and guard, making it easier to stay comfortable and in control during extended trimming sessions.
60V MAX 17-1/2 in. String Trimmer Tool Only– (DW-DCST980B)
For users already invested in DeWALT’s 60V MAX platform, the tool-only option lets you add the trimmer without repurchasing batteries and a charger.
DEWALT 20V MAX XR 24” Brushless Cordless Hedge Trimmer: Faster Cutting, Bigger Coverage
When you’re trimming long hedge lines or shaping shrubs around a large property, blade length and speed matter just as much as power. That’s exactly what DeWALT leaned into with the new 20V MAX XR hedge trimmer. It features a 24-inch dual-action hardened blade designed to cover more area per pass, which means less time spent walking the same line back and forth. DeWALT also notes a 14.3% faster cutting speed compared to previous performance benchmarks, which helps this trimmer feel more efficient when you’re trying to get the work done quickly (especially on larger properties).
20V MAX XR 24 in. Brushless Cordless Hedge Trimmer Kit (DW-DCHT826P1) Includes the hedge trimmer plus a 20V MAX battery and charger, making it a complete setup for anyone who’s adding hedge trimming to their maintenance lineup. DeWALT also built this tool with a strong balance of productivity and comfort.
Another detail that makes this trimmer more job-ready is the included hedge sweep and tip guard. The hedge sweep makes it easier to clear clippings while trimming, and the tip guard helps protect the blade when you’re working close to walls, fence lines, or tight landscaping areas. It also has a 1-inch cut capacity for thicker growth and small branches, and it’s designed with a lighter feel that helps reduce fatigue when you’re holding the trimmer up for long runs. Overall, this trimmer is made for people who want professional cutting performance without extra bulk and want to finish trimming faster with fewer passes.
DEWALT 20V MAX Brushless Foldable String Trimmer: Powerful Trimming That Stores Easier
Not every trimmer needs to be a “gas replacement monster.” Sometimes the tool you use most often is the one that’s easiest to grab, easiest to store, and still powerful enough to keep your property looking clean. That’s the point of DeWalt’s new foldable string trimmer. It’s built for high performance in a lighter and more user-friendly design, and the folding hinge is one of those features that sounds small, until you actually store it in a garage, a shed, or the back of a truck.
DeWalt designed this tool to become 40% shorter in length when folded, making it much easier to transport and store without awkward positioning. But it’s not just a compact design tool, it’s still powered by a brushless motor and built for strong trimming performance. DeWalt reports up to 55 minutes of runtime (no-load), along with an adjustable 13-inch to 15-inch cutting swath, giving you flexibility depending on whether you want a wider cut or longer runtime.
20V MAX Brushless Cordless Foldable String Trimmer Kit (DW-DCST926P1) is the all-in-one option that includes the battery and charger, which is ideal if you’re buying into the platform or upgrading from older equipment.
The 20V MAX Brushless Cordless Foldable String Trimmer Tool Only (DW-DCST926B) model is the better choice if you already have DeWALT 20V MAX batteries. It still includes the same foldable design and performance features, without duplicating what you already own.
One of the best features for real-world use is DeWalt’s Quick load spool head. Reloading trimmer line is one of those chores nobody enjoys, so anything that speeds it up without tools is a major win. Add in the variable-speed trigger (allowing you to run lighter for runtime or heavier for power), and this trimmer becomes a very practical upgrade for homeowners and pros alike who want smart design and dependable cordless trimming.
DEWALT 20V MAX XR Brushless Blower: Quiet, Powerful, and Built for Cleanup
Blowers are one of the most useful outdoor tools you can own because they aren’t just for fall leaves, they’re for daily cleanup. Grass clippings, jobsite dust, garage mess, sidewalks, driveways, and landscaping debris all move faster when you’ve got a blower that feels easy to control and strong enough to clear in fewer passes.
That’s where DeWalt’s new 20V MAX XR blower makes a strong case. DeWalt calls this their quietest blower yet, rating it at 58 dB(A), which is a major advantage for early morning work, noise-sensitive neighborhoods, or situations where you want power without a constant loud roar. And even with the quieter design, the performance numbers still hit hard: up to 550 CFM at 133 mph, and up to 19% improved maximum airflow performance over comparable benchmarks.
20V MAX XR Blower Kit
(DW-DCBL724W1) includes the blower plus the battery and charger, which is perfect for users who want a complete setup right away.
20V MAX XR Blower-Tool Only (DW-DCBL724B) This version makes the most sense if you already have DeWALT 20V MAX batteries and just want the blower added to your lineup.
This blower also shines in day-to-day usability. The variable speed trigger and trigger lock help you control power without hand fatigue, and the included concentrator and sweeper nozzles make the tool more versatile, whether you’re trying to remove stubborn debris from corners or quickly sweep large open areas like sidewalks. For anyone wanting a powerful blower without gas noise, without cords, and without the typical “too loud” issue, this one fit perfectly.
This new wave of DeWalt outdoor power equipment upgrades proves DeWalt is taking cordless OPE seriously, especially for users who want professional results without gas maintenance. The 60V MAX string trimmer is built to tackle heavy growth with legitimate power. The 20V MAX XR hedge trimmer increases productivity with a 24-inch blade and faster cutting speed. The foldable 20V string trimmer adds storage-friendly design without sacrificing runtime and trimming performance. And the XR blower brings serious cleanup power while staying impressively quiet for its class.
