The DeWalt DCMPH566N-XJ is very impressive. With the shoulder strap it is easy to use and it's cut is amazing - cutting through quite thick branches is effortless.

Very sharp and cuts reasonably well. The head angle mechanism is loose and seems weak. The shaft joint is loose and therefore the whole pole flexes when is use. The long rubber grip split on second use. Disappointed

Good tool but blade end is quite heavy, it cuts very well, down side for me was the lack of a center extension, this comes as part of the kit with the pole chainsaw, but not with the hedge trimmer. I have a very high hedge so had to purchase this separately.

This must be one of the poorest quality tools that DeWalt makes. I have a lot of DeWalt tools and they are really great. They are well designed, built with good quality and have well thought out ergonomics. This Pole Hedge Trimmer is nothing like other DeWalt tools: It feels flimsy in the hand, like a really cheap far-eastern copy of a good tool. When pushing gently against the hedge in order to make a cut, the pole bends in the middle and feels like it's going to snap (mine hasn't yet). The bending is due to a join in the middle of the shaft which only seems to be there to allow it to break into two for shipping. It has poor ergonomics, all the weight of the tool is at the cutting end (where the motor is) which means that it's difficult to handle and tiring to use. The poor balance makes it really difficult to use the length of the pole because it's almost impossible to hold it at arms length for a useful amount of time. It comes with a shoulder strap which only supports the weight of the light end of the pole which is useless. I took this off because I didn't feel safe having it attached to me all the time. It consumes a lot of power, so it uses up a 5Ah battery really quickly. It took 3 full charges to cut my hedges (I also have the DCMHT562 and I can cut my hedges with that using only one 5Ah battery). In summary: Does it cut hedges? - Yes. It's powerful and has a sharp cutting edge and copes with anything that fits into the cutting comb. Would I buy it again? - No. Would I recommend it to others? - No.

A good powerful hedge cutter with excellent battery life when used with 5Ah batteries. Good maximum diameter cutter and super sharp blades. Only let down is that, as others have noted, the head adjustment is not very robust and tends to wobble about a bit when tackling more challenging hedge growth. The metal used for teh angle adjustment is far too thin and I am sure will wear further with time.

This is a good product. Easy to use and does what is says. Only minor issue is the head is not as solid when cutting I have not found out why yet. but it did the job well.
