DeWalt DCMPH566 18v XR Cordless Pole Hedge Trimmer 550mm
Battery AH Explained
The best way to describe battery amp hour is that this is effectively the size of your fuel tank, the more amp hours your battery has then the longer the battery will last between charges. More amp hours does not increase the power of a given tool.
Battery Voltage Explained
A tool with a higher voltage than another is a bit like choosing an engine in a car, the higher voltage will generally mean higher power & performance. As with cars though a bigger engine does not always translate to better performance so it is important to compare the specifications of tools at different voltages between different manufacturers.

Customer Questions & Answers
Q : I note your use of the term "currently" apologies for my pedantry but would I be correct in inferring the "possibility" of the Trimmer attachment being made available for the Pole Chainsaw in the UK in the near future? ALSO: the Pole Chainsaw handles work loose too quickly can you suggest a way to secure these poles? I have a tight grip and have tightened them as much as possible without causing damage.
A : Hi Duncan, I'm afraid I honestly don't know whether DeWalt intend to release a UK version of the hedge trimmer attachment or not. However the amount of questions we get about it suggests there would definitely be a market for it. With regards to the chainsaw handles I can only really suggest you try and keep the vibration down as much as possible by ensuring the chain is well oiled, only using as much extension as needed, etc
Q : I am looking to buy the DCMPH566 18v XR Cordless Pole Hedge Trimmer 550mm (bare model) and I currently have 18v 4.0A XR batteries from my drill. Can I use these batteries with the hedge trimmer and will they affect performance as they are not 5A? Guessing the actual performance will be the same, the run time will just be reduced?
A : Hi Steve, yes the DCMPH566 can be used with any of DeWalt's 18v XR batteries. As you suspect, the only difference between them will be the amount of runtime you get before the battery needs recharging.
Q : Is the motor brushless on this model
A : DeWalt make no mention of it being brushless so I'm fairly sure it has a brushed motor.
Q : The chain saw version of this can be bought with a extension section for the pole to extend the reach, can this extension section be bought to use with the hedge trimer head and extend the reach of this?
A : The DCMPH566 has a fixed pole so as far as I know there is no way to extend it. In the US they do sell a long reach machine with interchangeable hedge trimmer and chainsaw heads, but so far there is no comparable tool available on the UK market.
Q : Is there any difference in weight between the various DeWalt battery types? I want to try and make the hedge trimmer as light as possible to use. Thanks
A : Hi Tom, yes - the more you increase the battery capacity the more the size and weight will go up. If you go into the "Accessories for This Product" section and go into the batteries individually you should be able to see the weights for them right at the bottom of the product page - for instance the 2ah battery weighs 400g while the bigger Flexvolt batteries are over 1kg
Q : I own a dewalt cordless 18v. If I purchase the dewalt cordless pole hedge trimmer, with a 5 mp hour battery, will I need another charger, or can I use the one I had with my drill?
A : Hi Gerald, your charger will be compatible as long as your drill is one of the newer "XR" models with a lithium ion battery (if it looks like any of the chargers shown in the "Accessories for this Product" section on the right of the product page you'll be all good) - note that if you are purchasing the kit version which comes with a 5ah battery included this also has a charger that comes with it in the box.
Q : Is the pole telescopic or fixed? I haven’t seen any pictures of extending the pole
A : Hi Will, the DCMPH566 has a fixed pole and is not telescopic
Q : Can you use this as a regulator hedge trimmer also for normal bushes i.e. can you take off the pole so it‘s shorter? So it‘s multi use.
A : Hi Sat, the DCMPH566 has a fixed pole which is not removable I'm afraid
Q : Dewalt sells the 18v trimmer head for the pole trimmer as a separate unit. This unit is compatible with the 18v pole saw. Can you order the trimmer head and how much is it please?
A : Hi there, I'm afraid this is not something we stock and I haven't seen it available in this country so far - there's a model DCPH820BH over in the American market but I don't think there is an equivalent in the UK currently?
Q : Hi, Any idea when this item will be available? Thanks, Ross
A : Hi Ross, unfortunately its impossible to guarantee anything while large parts of the country are in lockdown but we are expecting some in towards the end of the month
