DeWalt is making a meaningful push into outdoor power equipment this spring. The brand best known for drills, saws, and impact drivers is expanding its cordless yard lineup in 2026 with a wave of new 20V MAX and 60V FLEXVOLT tools — including a new straight shaft edger, a pair of 60V pole hedge trimmers, and a compact 20V blower that’s already shipping.
For anyone already deep in the DeWalt ecosystem, this is the moment the platform starts to cover your whole yard, not just your workbench.
The Headliner: 60V Straight Shaft Edger (DCED471B)
The most concrete new addition is the DCED471B, a 60V MAX brushless straight shaft edger with a 7.5-inch blade. DeWalt claims it delivers 23% more peak torque and 40% more peak power than a 28.4cc gas edger — which would put it ahead of most gas competition at that engine size. It has three speed settings, an LED dashboard showing battery state-of-charge, and up to 200 minutes of no-load runtime per charge.
Bare tool is priced at $529. Pre-sale listings show an estimated ship date of March 30 – April 6, 2026 — just in time for spring lawn season. The kit version (DCED471Y2) is also available for pre-order.
New 60V Pole Hedge Trimmers
Two new 60V MAX pole hedge trimmers are listed as “coming soon” on DeWalt’s site:
- DCPH673B — Fixed-head pole trimmer, 78 inches total reach, 22-inch blade, 4,500 SPM, 1.25-inch cut capacity
- DCPH675B — Articulating head (7 positions), 92 inches total reach, same 22-inch blade and 4,500 SPM
Pricing hasn’t been disclosed. For comparison, Milwaukee’s M18 FUEL pole hedge trimmers launched at $249–$279 bare tool earlier this spring. Expect DeWalt to be in the same range.

New 20V MAX Blower (DCBL724B)
For light cleanup work — deck clearing, gutters, quick blowouts — the new DCBL724B 20V MAX XR Brushless Blower ships now at around $199 bare tool. It delivers 550 CFM and 133 MPH, which is a solid output for a 20V handheld. The kit version (DCBL724W1) includes a battery and charger.
This slots below the FLEXVOLT DCBL570 backpack blower (855 CFM, 160 MPH) as a lighter-duty option for homeowners who don’t need commercial-grade airflow. For a full look at how it compares to EGO, Ryobi, and Greenworks, the best cordless leaf blowers guide covers the full range.
The Bigger Picture
DeWalt’s 60V FLEXVOLT platform has long been its answer to demanding outdoor work. But compared to EGO’s 56V ecosystem — which covers everything from mowers to snowblowers to power stations — DeWalt’s OPE lineup has had gaps. The new edger and pole trimmers start to close those gaps heading into 2026.
Platform depth matters when you’re buying batteries. The more tools that run on your existing packs, the better your cost-per-tool math looks over time. The battery platform comparison breaks that down across all major brands if you’re evaluating a long-term commitment.
The edger (DCED471B) is the most actionable item — available to pre-order now at DeWalt.com with a ship date two to three weeks out. The pole trimmers remain “coming soon” without confirmed pricing or release timing.
