Would have been good to see on really thick grass, the much! cheaper 18v on low speed would have easily done what you demostrated

[@IsambardKingdom]

agree - need to see it do some real work - a cheap 18v Ryobi that was given to me would have easily done what you demonstrated

[@skinnersbollox]

I've got the EGO mower and strimmer. Both very good. All depends on what Amphour battery you're using too. I find it easy to have 2 smaller ones so one is always charging.

[@GardenLawncareGuy]

Nice tip, I do the same with some of my other tools. One in the green and one in charger

[@JustBiZZaRe]

Ordered mine DCMAS5713X1-XE in January, that is exact in this video, the wait time on them due to the shortage worldwide is near 3 months. Mid to late March they reckon it will be shipped. Mumma Mia!

Hi there, Can you tell me how to get rid of couch grass please iv got loads in front lawn. Thanks Mick Glasgow

[@GardenLawncareGuy]

Non selective killer or digging it out!

[@Goofy-ferret]

Any one know if the motors break like the 18v versions? I had an 18v Dewalt strimmer, loved it, but it died a little after 12 months. Happy to go up to 54v version but a few reviews have reported motor issues with them too.

[@tonygill3344]

Key with strimmers is ease of replacing line or better still not having to with recent tech’… How does this one sit?

[@MegaBzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz]

Hello I question Is there difernece between 60v US version and our 571 54v Because i saw some videos they say that 60v has 6600 rpms And out 54v has 5600 rpms Thanks

[@pod___]

They are same. Like 18v tools in Europe are marked 20 in US, but it's the same product

[@thegenderfaerie]

i have had the 18v version for a little over a year now. it's good way better than my old qualcast 18v

[@GardenLawncareGuy]

They are well made indeed!

[@darrenburrows9350]

I've recently bought the 54V trimmer - just wondered, have you worked out how to use different attachments with it? Does the flexible sleeve that joins the body & the trimmer shaft just pull off? I can't find any instruction about this anywhere & even DeWalt service centre don't know the answer 🤷‍♂

[@GardenLawncareGuy]

I don't think its a multi tool to be fair but could be wrong. The split shaft is more for storage and portability I thought

[@patomahony9747]

@@GardenLawncareGuy I got caught out with this unit. The motor is in the head and while it splits this is only for storage. Frankly I fear that over time if split the cables will chaff. So I’m returning mine. Repairing my old ryobi 4 cycle. There may be a version of this unit available with motor in the handle and capable of taking attachments but only version I have come across is the bare unit at a stupid price. At this stage I’m looking at converting an old split shaft 2t unit I have to electric using a high powered 1/5 or 1/8 scale rock crawler bldc motor and esc with my existing stock( 6 dewalt XR 5 ah) of batteries as my power source. These are high torque motor s that spins up to 10,000 rpm. Just have to make a custom case to attach it to strimmer shaft etc.

[@darrenburrows9350]

@@GardenLawncareGuy yep you're right - I've just realised this after looking into it more - bugger! Bought the wrong machine 😬 They don't explain this very well on any of the seller sites 🤦‍♂

[@lesleyjoe4804]

​@@darrenburrows9350 yep same for me you want the DCMAS5713 not the DCM5713

[@Lt_Starburst]

Would this fit in a suitcase while folded? Just wondering if I can take it with me to places..

[@normundslipsans1108]

Can it be fitted with an iron blade for bush cutting?

[@grahammacklam4736]

Interesting content to keep it varied matt. Looks like it has a fair bit of power. Recently been looking at soil tillers just in case I go the whole hog and rip up the lawn as part of my plan to kill off the existing lawn to rid myself of the poa infestation

[@GardenLawncareGuy]

Thanks Graham - thinking about a full overhaul then I see!

[@grahammacklam4736]

@@GardenLawncareGuy yes it's got to that point. The turf installed 4 years ago had a fair bit of poa in from new which seemed to be controlled but this year has gone mad. When I think of the time spent, it is more time effective overall to kill it off, scalp, power rake, overspeed and top dress then trying to keep it at bay.

[@roberthornshaw7857]

How does the line feed out? Can you bump it like a stihl?

[@shawnmcdowell5171]

How do you feed line out bump it on the ground??

[@benjones3819]

Anyone know if this is better than the other dewalt similar one that doesnt split? Theyre approx the same price, just this one splits in the middle

[@jameswing4343]

Iv had the 18v hedge cutter and string trimmer just over a year now and I can’t fault it even the 18v 4ah batteries work great so I imagine the flex volt 54 volt is amazing

[@GardenLawncareGuy]

Nearly took off when I started it - beautiful machine

[@jameswing4343]

Also the genuine dewalt string lasts forever!

[@rawirijulian9075]

Cool vid bro 😎 thanks

[@edwardtobin5133]

Old school me 😷 … hand tools except for the mower .

[@GardenLawncareGuy]

I do like my manual tools but this year I find my self having less and less time the power tools are just quicker. Used to love a Sunday Garden day though

[@SADIKDIN]

Is this 54v different from the 60v flexivolt model?

[@patomahony9747]

Dewalt has 3 areas world wide. North America where flexvolt is listed as 60v Europe where because of trading standards laws flexvolt is listed at 54 volts Same for the XR batteries in North America they list at 20v but in Europe list at 18v. As for Australia region I’m not sure how they list. What I have discovered from my research is each decision uses different product numbers for basically the same unit , and these products have subtle differences by region. Example I came across was European guy imported a dewalt nail gun from oz. But found that the air cartridges sold in Europe have a different connection and the required ones are not sold here. Im told but can not confirm that likes of batteries while basically the same internally will only fit tools from the region they are sold in. Hope this helps clarify is some small way.

[@MegaBzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz]

Hello One question I see that in US they say that 60v trimmer has 6600 rpms And our 571 unit has 5600 rpms? Is this real diference or?

[@xjessukx]

No mention of price ?

[@GardenLawncareGuy]

Hi Shawn- I did not pay for that tool however I think you are right it would improve the video to add the rrp and I will do that for the hedge cutter and blower. Thanks for the feedback

[@xjessukx]

@@GardenLawncareGuy no problem I know the batteries are £150 a piece

[@patomahony9747]

That was a year ago. Was on to dewalt customer service in U.K. august 2022 and they quoted me 250 gbp for a 9ah 54v flexvolt battery

[@903mdh]

How do you load new strimmer line in the beast Matt? Does it use the same/similar system to the Milwaukee M18 Fuel? That system is a game changer 😁

[@c8bbr]

Can you attach the rotary scissors to this?

[@GardenLawncareGuy]

No it's not a multi tool type unit

[@clemfandango7175]

Iv just bought this today and it came with the ninja star cutters if that’s what’s your on about so yes

Quality kit.

[@GardenLawncareGuy]

Really nice to use 👍

[@Ray_ray11]

Nice bit of kit. But like all DeWalt I bet it's expensive.

[@GardenLawncareGuy]

It is smart, I will add the RRPs to the next unboxing vids good feedback

[@victoriagale9165]

Body only £200 plus , 54v batteries around £150 each not sure of run time so for small trimming jobs only . Just what I’ve found could be cheaper elsewhere.

[@GardenLawncareGuy]

Quoted runtime is 46mins - the engineer in me wants to test this out now. Know how I'll be spending my weekend trimming anything that grows!

[@victoriagale9165]

@@GardenLawncareGuy it’ll good to know as I’m a fan of dewalt and like gardening myself the good point is you would only need 2 batteries for all tools as you would have one charged at all times .

[@robalan57]

I have the 60v. It amazes me they label it 54v for you guys. Lol 😂

[@patomahony9747]

Trading standards description laws in Europe is the reason. The mean voltage of the battery pack is around 54 volts. Fully charged in region of 60v Similar to way single cell lithium ion batteries are listed as 3.7 v when in fact fully charged are in region of 4.2 volts. 60v makes item sound more powerful I have also discovered that while many items are similar with different product codes for different areas of the globe. Parts from one area will often not interchange with units from a different area.

[@DanTV86]

Unfortunately it's the way KZbin works, once you get a certain amount of views/followers the lure of the big companies with the expensive gear takes over the channel.

[@GardenLawncareGuy]

I produced around 50 videos this year, around two per week and would estimate around 20-25hours per week working on the channel. I have featured 3 'major' bits of kit, two of which were lawn mowers. Personally I wouldn't call that taken over or disproportionate to the overall channel content.
