DeWalt 60V MAX Outdoor Power Tools: Three Cordless Kits Worth a Look

Introduction

DeWalt’s 60V MAX outdoor power tool lineup covers the core of serious yardwork: trimming, cutting, and cleanup. All three tools share the instantly recognizable yellow-and-black color scheme, plenty of heavy rubber overmold, comfortable handles, and controls placed exactly where you would expect them. The promise is simple: gas-like muscle without the gas, the fumes, or the hassle. Here is how the three kits break down.

String Trimmer: DeWalt DCST972X1

The DCST972X1 string trimmer kit is designed for both serious overgrowth and precision trimming. A high-efficiency brushless motor delivers long runtime and increased motor life built for regular use, and you can choose between a 15-inch or 17-inch cutting swath, prioritizing either runtime or maximizing your cut. The trimmer runs up to .095-inch line for more cutting power.

The kitted 9-Ah battery keeps you working instead of heading back early for a recharge. One extra perk: the universal attachment system makes this a true multitasker. Need a hedge trimmer, edger, or pole saw? Just click in the accessory, tighten the thumb screw, and keep on working.

For buyers weighing speed against runtime, the adjustable swath is the deciding detail. Wider cut means fewer passes; narrower means the 9-Ah battery stretches further.

Chainsaw: DeWalt DCCS674X2

When it is time to cut or trim trees, the DCCS674X2 top handle chainsaw kit delivers 2.4 horsepower without gas, all in a lightweight package weighing just a little over 11 lb. It features a single capture nut for removing the sprocket cover and accessing the chain, plus a single screw for easy chain tensioning. Maintenance is handled by an automatic oiling system with an external reservoir that fills easily.

With a 14-inch bar and low kickback chain, you can make fast, confident cuts, which suits storm cleanup, pruning, or even light tree felling.

While the saw only needs one battery to operate, the kit includes two 9-Ah batteries. That greatly increases working time: just alternate batteries while you continue to work.

Blower: DeWalt DCBL777Y1

For cleaning your yard, driveway, or job site, the DCBL777Y1 blower brings plenty of power. Using the DCB612 12-Ah battery in turbo mode, you get an extra burst when you need it, blasting through leaves, mulch, and even heavy wet debris.

With up to 760 CFM of air volume and speeds reaching 160 mph, this tool does not mess around. Foam sound dampening technology also cuts noise by 78% compared with traditional gas blowers, which is perfect for early mornings and working in neighborhoods with closely spaced houses.

That noise reduction is arguably the quiet hero of this kit. Anyone who has put off cleanup because of the racket a gas blower makes will appreciate it.

Overall Buying Advice

The trimmer retails for $359 as a kit, the chainsaw goes for $829 as a kit with two batteries, and the blower retails for $439 as a kit. All three tools come with a 3-year warranty. If you can only buy one, match the tool to your biggest recurring task: trimming for overgrowth, the saw for storm cleanup and pruning, or the blower if cleanup dominates your weekends.

Conclusion

DeWalt’s 60V MAX outdoor power tools deliver the hassle-free freedom of cordless technology with gas-style power. Between the versatile trimmer, the capable top handle saw, and the powerful quiet blower, this lineup covers trimming, serious cutting, and site cleanup without a gas can in sight.
