DEWALT DCMHT563N-XJ 18V XR 550 mm Cordless Hedge Trimmer, Body Only

The DEWALT 18V XR 550 mm Cordless Hedge Trimmer, Body Only is a battery-powered tool for trimming hedges and shrubs without a mains cable. Its 550 mm double-sided blade has 25 mm tooth spacing and a stated maximum cutting capacity of 25 mm, which covers routine shaping as well as stems and branches up to that limit. The blade length also gives useful coverage when working across wider hedge faces or longer runs of growth.

The specified power configuration pairs an 18 V lithium-ion battery with 5 Ah capacity. Cordless operation lets you move around gardens and landscaping sites without trailing an extension lead. No battery or charger is supplied, so you will need suitable DEWALT batteries before use. This makes the tool mainly relevant to people already using the same battery platform.

This is a standard fixed-length hedge trimmer, not a telescopic model. There is no height adjustment, so working reach depends on the operator's position and the blade length. The design is intended for hedges and shrubs that can be reached directly, rather than for pole-trimmer work. The stated user group includes homeowners, landscapers, and professional users carrying out routine hedge shaping and branch cutting within the rated capacity.

• Blade operates at 1,400 strokes per minute.
• Tool weight is 2.9 kg excluding the battery.
• Rated for up to 75 minutes of operation, depending on the battery used.
• Removable battery design allows compatible charged batteries to be exchanged.
• Yellow exterior finish follows DEWALT's established tool colour scheme.
