DEWALT 40V MAX Telescoping Pole Hedge Trimmer: Extendable Reach & Professional Performance
The telescoping pole hedge trimmer from DEWALT gives you the freedom to shape and maintain tall hedges without a ladder. Retracting to 45″ for storage and compact use, it extends to 70″—offering 15% more shaft length than competitive gas-powered models. Powered by a brushless motor, this trimmer delivers up to 3,700 strokes per minute, ensuring fast, efficient cutting.
Equipped with a 22″ dual-shear, laser-cut hardened steel blade and a 1″ cutting gap, it slices through branches cleanly. The articulating head locks into eight positions at 15° increments, allowing precise angling whether you’re trimming horizontal tops or vertical sides. Backed by a 3-year limited warranty, the DEWALT DCHT895B is the bare tool you need—battery and charger sold separately.

Why Choose a Telescoping Pole Hedge Trimmer?
Maintaining tall hedges traditionally requires ladders, which pose safety risks. A telescoping hedge trimmer lets you stay firmly on the ground while reaching heights up to nearly 6 ft. The DEWALT 80 V MAX model’s extended reach and articulating head make angled cuts simple and precise, saving time and effort.
Telescoping vs. Fixed-Shaft Trimmers
- Mobility: Telescoping shafts adapt to varying hedge heights.
- Safety: Ground-level trimming reduces ladder falls.
- Versatility: Multiple shaft lengths for different tasks.

- Maintain Blade: Stop motor, clean debris, and apply light oil after each use.
Safety Tips
