DEWALT DCMPP568N-XJ 18V XR Cordless Pruning Shears, Bare Tool

The DEWALT 18V XR Cordless Pruning Shears are battery-powered secateurs rather than a long-bladed hedge trimmer. They are intended for selective pruning by gardeners, landscapers, and professional users. A rated cutting capacity of 38 mm accommodates individual branches that may be difficult to tackle with conventional manual secateurs. This capacity suits thicker growth as well as routine shrub and tree maintenance. The cordless format also allows work away from mains sockets without managing a power cable.

The shears weigh 1,400 g without a battery, so the final working weight varies with the battery selected. They accept batteries from the DEWALT 18V XR platform. When paired with a 5.0 Ah battery, the tool can complete up to 1,000 cuts. Actual output depends on the material being cut and on operating conditions. Battery choice will therefore influence both operating time and total handling weight.

This bare-tool version is supplied without a battery or charger. Both items must be obtained separately unless compatible DEWALT equipment is already available. An ergonomically shaped grip supports controlled handling during repeated pruning tasks. The handheld format is designed for placing the blades around individual stems and branches. It is consequently more appropriate for targeted cuts than for covering broad hedge faces with each pass.

• Hand guard provides separation between the user's hand and the cutting area.
