The DCHT826B is a bare-tool 20V MAX* XR® 24-in. brushless cordless hedge trimmer offering 14.3% faster cutting speed than the previous model. Dual-action hardened 24-in. blades with a 1-in. cut capacity handle small branches and large hedge areas efficiently. A brushless motor and included hedge sweep and tip guard improve performance and safety. Up to 60 minutes of runtime is achievable with a DCB205 battery (sold separately). Compatible with all DEWALT 20V MAX* batteries. Covered by a 3-year limited tool warranty.
How long is the blade on the DCHT826B?
The DCHT826B uses 24-in. dual-action hardened blades, which makes it well suited for trimming large hedges, shrubs, and formal topiary in a single pass.
What is the maximum branch thickness this trimmer can cut?
DEWALT rates the DCHT826B at 1-in. cut capacity. Branches up to 1 in. in diameter can be cut cleanly; thicker woody growth should be removed with a saw.
Does the DCHT826B come with a battery?
No. The DCHT826B is the bare-tool configuration. A 20V MAX* battery and charger are sold separately. The DCB205 5.0Ah battery is the recommended choice for up to 60 minutes of runtime.
What batteries are compatible with the DCHT826B?
Any DEWALT 20V MAX* battery is compatible. Higher Ah packs extend runtime; the DCB205 5.0Ah is commonly paired with this model.
How heavy is the DCHT826B for extended trimming sessions?
The tool weighs 11.02 lbs. The brushless motor reduces vibration, and reviewers note the weight is manageable for typical residential hedge trimming sessions.
Does the DCHT826B include a hedge sweep and tip guard?
Yes. Both a hedge sweep (for collecting clippings away from the blade) and a tip guard are included to improve efficiency and user safety.
