Cordless trimmer based on the latest technology

One of the key features of the DeWALT DCM561P1 trimmer is its brushless motor. As you know, such motors have a lot of advantages over traditional electric motors. A brushless motor is smaller and lighter, cooler, lasts longer and consumes less energy (a fundamental issue for battery-powered gardening equipment). The motor and gearbox are mounted below - right on the trimmer head.

Device, details and nuances

The tool has a decent grip width - 33 cm. A thick and durable polyamide fishing line with a diameter of 2 mm is wound on the spool. The bar is made of aluminium. It is made from one single piece of tube and cannot be folded. A D-shaped handle is attached to the bar. You can change its height and position only with a screwdriver. The handle is made of high-quality and soft material, which is pleasant to the touch and does not rub the palms. But the complete absence of any opportunity to “attach” a belt to the trimmer is surprising. During work, you have to constantly keep a 4.3-kilogram tool in your hands on weight.

Up to 10 acres in one run

This trimmer has a very good reputation (even better than the newer DeWALT DCMST561P1 model, which has almost identical specifications). It works practically without vibration and does not annoy with loud sounds. Judging by user reviews, on a single charge of a standard 5 Ah battery, you can mow up to 10 acres of lawn, and it charges in just an hour and a quarter (this is the merit of the quick charger that is included in the kit). To save power, you can use a reduced speed of rotation of the trimmer head (there are two of them: 4600 rpm and 6000 rpm).

If you are already a happy owner of cordless tools of this brand and have 18-volt DeWALT batteries on hand, you can buy this trimmer without a battery and save almost 30%.

Model differences:
  • Model DCM561PB — without battery and charger
  • Model DCM561P1 — battery and charger included
