Our take on the DEWALT DCED472B 60V MAX 7-1/2 in. Attachment Capable Edger

The DEWALT DCED472B is a cordless lawn edger that runs on DEWALT's 60V MAX battery system. It has a 7-1/2 in. blade and accepts DEWALT's attachment-capable power head, so the same motor unit can drive other attachments. It suits homeowners with larger yards already on the 60V platform who want gas-like edging without cords or fuel. Against corded and smaller-voltage edgers it trades a higher upfront outlay for more torque and no cord, and it is heavier than a basic string trimmer used on its side.

Questions and answers

Does the DCED472B come with a battery?

No. It is a bare tool, so you need a DEWALT 60V MAX battery and charger, which are sold separately.

What does attachment capable mean?

The power head accepts DEWALT's compatible attachments, so one motor unit can drive other tools such as a trimmer or edger head.

What blade size does it use?

It uses a 7-1/2 in. edging blade.

Is it better than edging with a string trimmer?

A metal blade cuts a cleaner, deeper edge along walks and beds. A string trimmer is lighter and cheaper but leaves a rougher line.

Which battery platform does it use?

It runs on DEWALT's 60V MAX batteries, so it fits if you already own 60V tools.
