JoshH8664 Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 Just read this in an email i got, cant remember where it came from. I have the 40V String trimmer and love it, but couldnt really justify the cost for the hedge trimmer for how often i would use it, now a 20v hedge trimmer with a 5.0ah battery....that i can get behind. Cant really find much info on it yet.-Goat 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant really find much info on it yet.-GoatI see the DCHT820b listed on the Home Depot web site. $129.00 I guess it's not released yet. Soon, March. The kit is DCHT8201 $199.00 with the 5.0 battery.

DR99 Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 It's kinda crazy how cheap the Dewalt lawn tools are with a 5.0 ah battery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The.Handyman Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 This is going to be a tough call for me. I will have to really hold it in the store and look at the blade design. The new Ryobi One+ hedge trimmer was just released, should be in your HD now, and it is very well designed. The specs (cut capacity/blade length) are identical as this new DeWalt. The Ryobi has a couple things on the DeWalt: The incorporated hedge sweep to help remove clippings and an ingenious rotating handle that I can definitely see as a fantastic benefit when reaching in odd positions or for extended use to change the grip up. Price for the Ryobi is $129 for the kit with charger and compact battery ($69 for bare tool). I already have some 4ah batteries I use with my flood light and fan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chase Shoffner Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 I love DeWALT and I most likely would buy anything they manufacture if I needed it. If I only had the money..... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They new Ryobi hedge trimmer looks much nicer than the old one. Plus $69 is cheaper than the Dewalt. The only reason to buy the Dewalt 20v is if your in the platform already 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fazzman Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 Id totally get one of those Ryobi trimmers if I didnt already have a nice Stihl. My Stihl is not cordless thou so I may have to go look. The perimeter of our front yard has a wall of hedges. Breaking out my extension cord isnt a big deal to me but i trip over the stupid thing often enough to justiify. Althoou the wife would probably get pissed at me lol. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR99 Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 The other thing that happens is you cut you extension cord and it happens to be your really good one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The.Handyman Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 Just an FYI. The new Ryobi is not yet available for purchase as a bare tool although it is listed. Also, Ryobi just released a new updated version of their ONE+ chainsaw and it is fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshH8664 Posted January 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 It's kinda crazy how cheap the Dewalt lawn tools are with a 5.0 ah battery.for me it would be worth it to end up with another battery, again as most tools these days its starting to come down to whos battery system you are on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brien Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 I can get on board with this one... and a 20V chainsaw! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR99 Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 I wouldn't doubt we see a 20v Brushless chainsaw from Dewalt in the future. The one thing I don't know is if they will do a lawn mower. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fazzman Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 That would be cool,as long as it doesnt cost an arm,a leg,and your first born like the Bosch one(battery powered mower). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason I just ended up ordering the 20v weed wacker so if they come out with lawnmower that would be a awesome addition to the line! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
