New DEWALT 20-Volt XR Brushless Leaf Blower DCBL722 & 14" XR Foldable String Trimmer DCST922

DEWALT has updated most of its 20-volt outdoor power equipment ling to make them stronger and more powerful! It is still winter, but if you are looking for new OPE from DEWALT, here is what is coming.

The new DEWALT 20V Brushless Blower (DCBL722) features the same axial fan design as it’s predecessor, DCBL720. It’s rated for 450 cfm and 106 mph. That’s about a 30% boost in max mph and 12.5% increase in CFM, compared to the 400 CFM and 90 mph rating for the DCBL720.

The nozzle of the blower has a new concentrator nozzle design that presumably uses clever aerodynamics to concentrate the air flow. The concentrator is a removable accessory.

This model, like the older models, has variable speed control, and a lock on-switch. The new model gets a bit more ergonomic trigger.

The biggest change to the design is the placement of the battery socket, which is now placed at the rear, which allows the use of 20V Max or larger FlexVolt batteries, allowing for longer run time. The previous model had the battery connection at the base.

Up to 450 CFM airflow
Up to 125 mph air speed (with the concentrator nozzle)
Weighs 5.43 lbs without battery
Price: $199 for the kit (DCBL722P1 with 5.0Ah battery), $139 for the bare tool (DCBL722B)
