Dewalt レビュー 

I'm only giving one star chase I have to for a start!
Called DeWalt support and spoke to a very nice lady who immediately gave me a technical support number. She had no knowledge base of the issue I described which is very common throughout the web. This is very unlikely. The technical support number is a chargeable number between 13p and 58p a minute. Called the number anyway and it rang out for some time before a message saying no one is available to take my call. There was no greeting or identification that this was a DeWalt Technical Support.
Disgraceful for a company with this reputation. I'm off to buy an Evolution Table Saw...

I was given a dewalt screwgun for a gift. Filled in all the details for the extended warranty. Just over a year later the screw gun motor is completely burnt out. Contact dewalt and 6 weeks later they say sorry we can’t help as you don’t have a purchase invoice. Worst customer service and worse equipment I’ve ever used. Do yourself a favor and buy a different brand. Dewalt you should be ashamed of yourselves…… digraceful

Seems people are way too quick to leave reviews when they have issues rather than leave reviews when they don't. Absolutely brilliant stuff. Far superior than most other brands. Great quality, work brilliantly and extremely reliable. So many fakes out there, WHY would you buy those instead of the real thing? Maybe lots of you have fake items and think they're real? Probably. Buy from official distributors only NOT EBAY

Bad ,How do I get dewalt strimmer repaired?
Looking on the dewalt website is no good no repair centers anywhere near Norwich. Dewalt website is not user friendly and sends you around in circles. I like Dewalt tools but if my strimmer has broken to soon (just clicks) why should I buy another one , I will try another make.

Bought tools screw fix and must admit they are fantastic. Drill, screw drivers and battery packs great

Never again I paid for the 3 tier stacking box had it 2 weeks and the handle snapped off the bottom box so i strapped it up then 2; week later the clip's snapped off the second box. i don't carry nothing heavy in them just dust sheets for my job. I should have just paid £20 for a cheap no make one it would have lasted longer

To all potential customers considering DeWalt: don’t make the same mistake I did!
The quality of DeWalt tools has dropped significantly, and their so-called warranty is just a marketing gimmick used to pass you off to third-party contractors who do whatever they want with zero accountability.

I’m a professional with over 30 years of hands-on experience. I handle tools daily and can identify a defect by sound alone. I purchased the DCD703, used it once, and instantly noticed a manufacturing defect in the chuck – unstable and not holding correctly. I took photos before sending it, clearly showing it in almost brand-new condition.

I contacted DeWalt support, which turned out to be Stanley Black & Decker UK
They told me:

> “If it’s a manufacturing defect – it will be repaired under warranty. If it’s wear and tear – it will cost £51.59.”

I stayed home the entire day for the UPS collection, losing £250 in wages, fully trusting that the warranty would be respected.
And what did I receive in return?
A vague reply from some “technician” claiming the damage was “wear and tear from regular use”.

What use?! I used it once!
No report, no images, no proof. Just a demand for money.

If I refuse to pay – they want £25 + VAT because someone “looked at it”.
Looked at it for what – one minute? Or maybe didn’t even look at all?
This seems to be a standard extortion tactic.

What’s worse, some so-called “expert” – who likely has no real experience with tools – is trying to tell me, a professional, that I don’t know how much I’ve used my own tool.
Apparently, I imagined the whole thing, but he knows better — without ever having used it, heard it, or worked with it.

I formally urge DeWalt to take immediate action regarding warranty request (13104498)
and stop this disgraceful extortion by incompetent middlemen who are dragging your brand into the dirt.

Unable to leave a review on the Dewalt website, even after logging in.
Avoid the DCMHT563N-XJ cordless hedge trimmer. Its a total P.O.S.
Purchased to replace a cheap corded Titan hedge trimmer and I'm thoroughly disappointed. Any benefit brought about by it being cordless is completely overwhelmed by how useless it is at cutting. It snags, catches and sticks all the time, often requiring multiple passes to get a half decent result. It struggles on almost every shrub I've used it with, right from 4mm branches to 18mm. Its exhausting to use and has a poor design in my opinion. The top section where there isn't a cutting edge is particularly annoying. Other manufacturers place a triangular guide there to stop it snagging. The double teeth design means that branches get caught and not cut. I'm so disappointed, having been a huge Dewalt fan and owner of many power tools. I've offloaded this battery trimmer now and gone back to basics.

I purchased a DeWalt DCMPH566N-XE pole hedge trimmer it lasted ONE use. Returned to original supplier who issued a refund as they had no more stock. As all my tools are Dewalt and are excellent I figured it must have been an unlikely faulty tool. I then purchased the same tool from another supplier, this lasted TWO uses and broke with the same fault. The joint in the middle is just not strong enough to support the cutting end. The electrical connection in the joint shears off, leaving the tool useless. The tool is only two months old but unfortunately I didn’t use it in the 30 days the company gave to return it so it had to be repaired via Dewalt. Either Dewalt or the approved repairers have arranged for it to be collected via UPS on three separate occasions and UPS have never turned up once ( three days waiting in).
I am now left with a tool that cost just under £200 doesn’t work and isn’t collected. No one including Dewalt will offer a refund!
I have the smaller hedge trimmer and strimmer and they are excellent, cannot fault them. This product is useless and has now been discontinued.

I’ve had my DeWalt combi drill repaired twice, primarily down to me using it too hard drilling through joists all day, it definitely didnt have enough power to be doing that job. Contacted dewalt and they collected it and returned it fixed 2 days after. They did that twice. Great communication and no problems asked as I registered it straight away.
Bought a more powerful drill for the job which has had no problems. Will never use any other power tool brand.

Disappointed with Dewalt’s Aftercare Experience

I've previously had good experiences with Dewalt’s aftercare, but unfortunately, things have clearly changed. The recent introduction of AI-driven systems and a poorly designed warranty process on their website made the whole experience frustrating.

It took seven weeks to resolve the issue involving Dewalt and a third-party service provider. While the repair was eventually covered under warranty—without dispute, to be fair—I still had to pay for postage.

It's disappointing to see a brand known for reliability make poor decisions in its aftercare process. Cost-cutting measures might save money in the short term, but they risk damaging the brand's reputation in the long run.

Sadly, yet another company that fails to look after its customers. I purchased their most expensive drill. It is a very good drill, but the clutch has since started to malfunction after thirteen months. When I purchased the drill, it stated quite clearly in big letters on the advertised listing 'Three year warranty'. BUT in the small print, you have to apply for the warranty. I was not made aware of this at the time of purchase. Having contacted DeWalt, they more or less told me it is not under warranty anymore. Well, I will not be buying anything from that company anymore.

Summary
I bought a DeWalt trimmer from SGS Engineering, but it arrived faulty. Over the past year, the product has been repeatedly collected and serviced, yet the issue persists. The process involves excessive paperwork and multiple stakeholders who keep passing me around. My refund request was rejected.

The story

I purchased a DeWalt trimmer from SGS Engineering on 10 May 2024.
From the start, the trimmer kept stopping and starting intermittently. I contacted SGS, and they requested a video showing the issue. After I provided it, they collected the trimmer for servicing. Eventually, it was returned to me without any explanation of what the problem was or what had been fixed. I ended up using my old trimmer for the summer of 2024.
In summer 2025, I tried using the DeWalt trimmer again. It had the same issue. Since the product comes with a 3-year warranty, I contacted SGS again. This time, they redirected me to Stanley Black & Decker. I wasn’t familiar with this company or their role in the process. Stanley Black & Decker then sent me back to SGS. After some back-and-forth, SGS finally redirected me to DeWalt.
DeWalt requested a number of documents, including an invoice. I shared the original SGS invoice, but DeWalt rejected it because it lacked a product description. Apparently, SGS’s invoices do not meet DeWalt’s standards. I had to contact SGS again to resolve this, and they eventually provided a more detailed document. After printing all required documents, I packaged the trimmer again for another service.

At this point, a company called Lyka became involved—the fourth company I had to deal with throughout this frustrating process. They collected the trimmer on 16 May 2025. A few days later, it was returned again, supposedly fixed, but without any explanation of what the issue was or what was done.

I contacted all four companies involved (SGS, Stanley Black & Decker, DeWalt, and Lyka) to ask the same simple question: What was the issue, and what was fixed? I received no clear answer. Instead, they started the process all over again as if it were the first time. At this point, I began to suspect this might be a strategy to wear customers down and hope they give up.

Then a representative named Martha from DeWalt contacted me and said the trimmer would be escalated to a senior mechanic. I asked her again, “What was the issue, and what was fixed?” She checked the records but couldn’t find any information. She then asked me to make yet another video. I complied, and once again received a UPS collection notice with the same bureaucratic demands: print the edited invoice, photocopy the warranty, and fill out the service form.

I contacted them and explained that I had had enough of this endless bureaucracy and requested a refund. Here’s the loop I was caught in:
SGS: Speak to Stanley Black & Decker

Stanley Black & Decker: Speak to DeWalt

DeWalt & Lyka: We only repair (though clearly not effectively), contact the retailer (SGS) for a refund

Throughout this entire process, I kept receiving “How was our service?” feedback emails. Even the link in the email is broken.

I was a lifelong fan of Dewalt but after my drill broke less than a year after purchase, I had to use pilers to remove the drill bit from the chuck. Dewalt then refused to replace the plastic around the chuck. The plastic part was probably worth £10 and they couldn't even be bothered. I will never purchase Dewalt products again. Ive had better service at a charity shop with second hand items.

I have just returned from a trade show (Birmingham NEC) where Dewalt had a stand. I went to see them about an issue I had experienced with 3 x XR batteries and the poor customer support that I had received in getting them replaced, this experience had made me start to transition to another manufacturer. The staff member asked if it was ‘red or blue’ I replied “red” and she said “good bye, see ya”. I initially took it as a little tongue in cheek…… however, I had a friend with me who mentioned that he was ‘blue’ when it came to power tools… to which she replied “bye, off you go” (or words to that effect), my friend simply walked away due to her poor attitude towards people who used a competitors tools. Rather than acknowledging that other tool manufacturers exist and then try to compared the other brands with Dewalt and explain the pros and cons, she simply dismissed the other manufacturers outright, and then went on to try and sell me more batteries!!!

Very poor customer service and not someone that Dewalt should have representing their brand at a show which should be used to garner more customers.

I will never return to Dewalt after my poor customer support and the attitude of this ‘staff’ member

I came to Trustpilot to compare another electric gardening tools company’s rating against DeWalt’s, as I was considering which direction to go. I’ve always used DeWalt, but a recent recommendation prompted me to explore other options.

I was genuinely surprised to see DeWalt’s score so low. I manage a team of engineers who are exclusively equipped with DeWalt power tools, and over the past eight years, I can only recall one tool ever breaking.

I also rely on DeWalt tools for all my DIY projects at home. I’m not particularly gentle with them—they get put through their paces—but despite that, I’ve never experienced a fault with any of the tools or batteries.

I suspect the low score may be due to the “silent majority” of satisfied users who are simply getting on with their work and not leaving reviews.

54v batteries
I have had 2 of them stop working after 9-12 months.
Now decided to change to a new brand.

Disappointed by After-Sales Support for a Premium Product

I’ve been a long-standing user of DEWALT tools and chose them expecting professional-grade reliability and support. Unfortunately, I’ve been left disappointed.

A minor spring failed on a high-value tool just outside its warranty period. Despite the part being small, inexpensive, and easy to post, DEWALT declined to supply it—even when I offered to pay for it. Instead, I was told to go searching for the part myself.

I invested in DEWALT products believing the premium price came with premium after-sales service. In this case, that support felt dismissive and unhelpful. This experience has forced me to reconsider my loyalty, and I will be looking at alternative brands going forward.

Support matters just as much as product quality—especially when you rely on these tools for professional use.

Bought from Toolstation, broke on first use, thought it might have been my fault, so stupidly bought another, broke again first use. I expect better quality from Dewalt, will buy from a different manufacturer for future tool purchases. Checked reviews on Toolstation website and I am not the only one disappointed with this product, it appears Dewalt are aware of the poor quality of this product but continue selling it.

Awful service.

I purchased a new pair of boots at a cost of £99. From the box, they had discolouration on the left hand boot. It took me around a month to notice as I hadn't opened them until required. Upon reaching out in April, then again twice in May, it took a month for a reply. Reply stated I was required to send them back to be inspected, however if they could find no fault, I'd be charged return postage. This leaves me without boots for the duration. I've had 10+ pairs of boots and sunk 1000's of £ into the brands tools over the years to feel mugged off taking a month to reply. I've lost faith in the brand and will be going to another, better reviewed one. Boots are going in the bin. This could all have been solved upon receipt of the obvious flaws i photographed and attached to my inital query.
