The compact design is 39% smaller than the DCHT820 for easier maneuverability in tight spaces. The included DCB205 5.0Ah battery provides up to 78 minutes of runtime. A blade sheath is included, and the tool is compatible with the DCZHT800 hedge sweep accessory (sold separately). Covered by a 3-year limited tool warranty.
How long does the battery last on the DCHT821P1?
The included DCB205 5.0Ah battery delivers up to 78 minutes of runtime under no-load conditions. Typical residential trimming sessions with mixed hedge density are frequently completed on a single charge.
What is the maximum branch thickness the DCHT821P1 can cut?
The DCHT821P1 is rated for branches up to 3/4 in. in diameter. Larger woody growth should be removed with loppers or a pruning saw before trimming.
Does the DCHT821P1 come with a battery and charger?
Yes. The DCHT821P1 is a complete kit that includes a DCB205 20V MAX* 5.0Ah battery and a charger. The bare-tool version (no battery or charger) is the DCHT821B.
Is the DCHT821P1 compatible with other DEWALT 20V MAX batteries?
Yes. Any DEWALT 20V MAX* battery works with this trimmer. Higher Ah packs like the DCB205 or DCB208 will extend runtime compared to smaller packs.
How heavy is the DCHT821P1 kit?
The complete kit weighs approximately 12.6 lbs including the battery. The trimmer's compact design (39% smaller than the DCHT820) helps reduce arm fatigue during extended sessions.
Does the DCHT821P1 have a friction clutch?
