Common questions
Questions before you buy
What is the difference between small battery powered and small battery operated trimmers?
The phrases are often used for the same general product type. Check the actual size, battery, weight and cutting system of each model rather than relying on the wording.
Which small battery trimmer folds for storage?
DEWALT lists folding 20V MAX models such as DCST922B. Confirm the exact configuration and dimensions on the current product page.
Does the DEWALT DCST922B include a battery?
No. DEWALT identifies the DCST922B listing as tool-only, with battery and charger sold separately.
Can a compact trimmer replace a full-size model?
It depends on the yard and vegetation. Compare approved line, cutting width and intended use, especially if you trim dense or tall growth.
