You can use any of the Dewalt 20v Max XR batteries with this tool, even if they have come from a drill, driver, pole saw, or reciprocating saw. Usually, when you’re pruning hedges etc, you do want the battery to last longer, but if you get multiple smaller batteries then you can simply charge one while using the other. While I think the 5 Ah battery is the best choice, if you wanted the tools to be lighter, go for the 2 Ah option. The listing says 8 lbs, but I think this includes the weight of the 5 Ah battery. Without the battery, the tool is very light. Once that is down, you squeeze the trigger on the front handle with your left hand to make the tool go. In this image, you can see the trigger that needs to be held down on the back handle with (usually) your right hand.

I do like the DEWALT 18v/20v series of tools and have been impressed by all of them (I also have an orbital sander). Interchangeable batteries with other Dewalt tools – 5 amp hour is my recommendation.Good safety features – requires two hands to be in operation.Powerful and fast cutting – you don’t need to apply pressure to the trees or plants, the blades do the work.It’s very light and easy to use – though my shoulders were a bit sore the next day!.I think it’s a great cordless hedge trimmer because: You’ll notice that I like to use this trimmer in tandem with my mini chainsaws – they’re great for the thicker branches. These videos were taken over the course of a few hours of pruning and, as I’ve already stated, the battery was still going strong. You can check out the short unboxing and then watch how the trimmer performs ( video on YouTube here).
