I'm Never Using Gas Again! - DeWalt DCM571 Review

I'm blown away by this DeWalt string trimmer or weed eater, it's whack (bad pun intended)! I've been drooling over DeWalt's 60v (54v) tools for a long time, but I have never gotten around to buying one. I have a lot of 20v (18v) tools, and the batteries always seemed pretty expensive!
Luckily (?) my old string trimmer died on me, so I had to get a new one either way. So a perfect opportunity to pick up one of the best cordless tools I've bought to date! My choice landed on the heavy duty electric DCM571, using the flexvolt battery from DeWalt. It has a string head and a blade for medium weeds and smaller bushes.
Check out the video to see it in action, and then go get one yourself! :)

Please do a review on the safety sandals. I’d like to see how those work.

[@goofycsgo69]

how do you only have 1200 subs ?? you are editing like a pro , video qualiti ultra in general you are so underrated

[@TryingToBuildStuff]

Haha, thanks, appreciate that! Growing slow but steady 😉

[@chaselesser3191]

I have both of the 60v trimmers. And this is much nicer to use. The attachment capable one does have a 17” cut, but it’s not as strong b/c the motor is near the battery, and the trimmer head is a different design and it digs into the ground, instead of gliding on the surface. You may be able to upgrade the head, but I I like the power of this one.

Whats the blade attachment kit #

[@jeremyboecker9236]

I got one of these, it was actually used at a tool auction, but wow does it work great! Great video and amazing editing skills! You are very good at creating content!

[@TryingToBuildStuff]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@amantalv]

Just got offline with Dewalt. It seems that we cannot get that adapter kit here in the US in order to fit other attachments to the electric string trimmers. Appears to be DT20657 URGH!

[@bikenut5282]

Looks like it comes with a mounting kit or adapter. Would you have that part number as well? Thanx

[@TryingToBuildStuff]

Can't find the adapter, but the blade is DT20653. I'll keep looking :)

[@patrickhenrypdx5355]

The part no. for the adapter appears to be DT20657

[@bikenut5282]

@@patrickhenrypdx5355 Thanx! I still don't think it is available in USA, but i did find a distributor in Australia. Thanx again.

[@bikenut5282]

Do you have a part number for that blade?

[@davidchurchill1651]

This is the model blade copy & paste this: DEWALT DT20653 Tri Brushcutter Blade

[@MichaelPhilp-s3q]

Thankyou!, did in two and half minutes and told me what i wanted to know in a succinct way.

[@James-fr9sq]

Where can I get the blade attachment?

[@papafrank8900]

Its called the brush cutter attachement

[@mikethk]

I liked this video at the 2nd chicken call

[@1talian0_]

What is the part # for the blade attachment ?

[@con_sci]

where did you get that blade though?

[@TUDIU]

hello, thanks for the video. Where did you get the blade adapter? does it come with the brush cutter blade?

[@TryingToBuildStuff]

Hi! It came with my trimmer. Got everything in one big package!

[@dustinwilkerson6951]

Where do u find that adapter ? Please help.

[@davidchurchill1651]

Is this 60v Dewalt weed eater compatible w rotary scissors?

[@xvdsx]

I don't understand why I can slice trough wood fairly long time with 18V chain saw but for the woody vegetation I need a 54V MAXI POWER SET ? why is that ?

[@TryingToBuildStuff]

A very good question! Think I need to do some research and get back to you, because I honestly don't know!

[@CougarLand]

Simple...because you're using a chain saw...which uses a chain saw blade. But would you use a chain saw to cut grass?

[@jamesray9009]

this is pretty much what the US has as the 970 I liked mine the filter on the top was problematic and the US model you can not attach a blade .. I had to move to the DCST972 .. I just got mine today I am gonna see if I can find the motor that fits yours I think I can swap it and put a brush blade like the rest of the world models

[@makatogonzo]

Is it compatible with other brand attachments "attachment capable"?

[@R.Stridstrom]

No - they suck at explaining whats what, and whats not - and their marketing is all over the place. The DCMAS5713X1 is the one available to us in the nordics with optional sttachements. I looked it up in sweden - quite a bit more expensive. 8000 SEK (~722 USD) And the US version ( DCST972) in the states was about 279 USD. Thats about 3100 SEK.

[@jeffrey3205]

Is this a new product? Amazon says it's not available and I can't find it in the US

[@TryingToBuildStuff]

Seems like it's only available in Europe at the moment 🫤

[@baz69er13]

How many mah is the battery?

[@waasthissen6042]

How does this work with lower voltage batteries from Dewaltt tools we already own? Can you use those on this guy too?

[@spids01]

Yes. I use my regular 18v 2amp ones in mine

[@davidc.9933]

Mine died after about 20 hrs of use

[@0xm2j]

can i use a 80T blade ?

[@nsatoday]

The flexVolt string trimmers, the one you have and the attachment capable one have been number 1 or 2 depending on the reviewer. I have a lot of Stihl equipment (gas) because of storms etc when electricity may not be available. Also, for a chainsaw the new 20 inch flexVolt is nice but doesn’t compare in power or capacity to my professional Stihl’s and in a storms aftermath, having a few gallons of aspen 2 can get lots of roads cleared quick.

[@TryingToBuildStuff]

If you're regularly dealing with power outages and need your tools to clear roads and stuff, I would definitely stick with gas-powered equipment. Unless you run solar/hydro and have a large battery bank, perhaps. Either way, if you're actually depending on your equipment to be able to get food/supplies and general safety, I would also go for gas. I also have some Stihl stuff (great products), like the chainsaw I got recently (MS251, great for basic home usage), I have no plan on trading that for an electric one anytime soon. It runs flawlessly, packs a punch, and, to be honest, I can't afford to replace tools just for the fun of it. However, I will pick a flexvolt tool where it makes sense to eliminate a corded one. Especially for renovation projects. A new circular saw might be next on the list. They seem really nice. Oh, this is becoming too long to read 😅 My take on it: if you're really dependent on your tools, go for gas. If not, the flexvolt tools are super convenient! Hope all my rambling made sense, haven't had my morning coffee yet!

[@nsatoday]

@@TryingToBuildStuff I have a ton of flexVolt tools. Just the OPE eats batteries too fast.

[@TryingToBuildStuff]

@@nsatoday ah ok, then I'll understand 🙂 just ran the trimmer for a solid 1.5h before having to recharge, but it all depends in how hard you push the tool I guess, and what your needs are!

[@nsatoday]

@@TryingToBuildStuff i just picked up the dewalt 3” cut off tool! Excited. Easier to use than a grinder for things like tile and siding.

[@TryingToBuildStuff]

@@nsatoday Oh. that's awesome! It's on my list of stuff to get when I can afford (read: convince my wife that I need) it, looks really handy!

[@neil1482]

Does the 18volt XR battery fit this?

[@TheAtherion]

no

[@tombeczala881]

Would that work with powerstack batteries ?

[@bigballox6454]

No, powerstack are 18volts. You need the 54v batteries. The 54volt batteries will power all your 18volt dewalt tools but the the 18volt batteries won't step up to 54v, for obvious reasons.

[@tombeczala881]

Makes sense now. Thank you 👍

[@chrisw7612]

I have to ask did you ring the chickens neck for Sunday's dinner ?. Just kidding were did you get the blade attachment for strimmer

[@Varecy.]

Hey man do you happen to know where to find one of these cause they are sold out everywhere, and i cant seem to catch a price on it anywhere Apreciate the help amazing video i wanted one for a year now but was considering to get an 18V or 54V i will probably try and get this one cause i already have the 54 flexvolt chainsaw and i love it so this one will be amazing too (and i will have a 2nd battery) haha enjoy your day mate :)

[@TryingToBuildStuff]

Thanks for your comment! I would totally go for this one instead of the 18v version! It packs a punch, much like your chainsaw I believe :) And considering you use 18v as well I suspect you live somewhere in Europe (or at least not in the US)? I got mine from a local shop here in Norway, but it seems to be sold out on Amazon UK so I'm not really sure where you can order it. Have you checked any local hardware stores?

[@jaybartgis5148]

More power to you. I bought a ryobi battery lawn mower and it was pure trash. Will never buy an electric tool bigger than a drill ever again

[@loispullen4049]

Glad you enjoy it!👏🏻👏🏻🇨🇦

[@ezequielambriz8036]

Hey man just like the last guy mentioned your video editing skills are great and so is the content! I just got my hands on the new 20in/ 51cm flexvolt chainsaw and it’s awsome you should definitely check it out one day👍🏽

[@TryingToBuildStuff]

Awesome, thank you! Really appreciate the feedback! I will check it out for sure, flexvolt rocks! Thinking about replacing my old corded circular saw with a flexvolt one as well :)

[@wattebol]

Amazing to se how many promotion videos there are on KZbin. Probably all paid for by the manufacturers, like this one.

[@TryingToBuildStuff]

I would love for DeWalt to sponsor some videos, that would save me a lot of money! Sadly I'm not a channel of that size. Grew up with some DeWalt stuff and now I can afford to buy my own tools. I'm just a huge fan, that's all!
