Two Months Later: Why The DEWALT 60V Backpack Blower Is Still The King Of The Jobsite

We are officially two months post-launch, after DEWALT decided to rewrite the rules of the landscaping game with the 60V MAX Brushless Backpack Blower (DCBL570Y2). When this beast dropped back in November, the promise was simple: gas-like performance without the gas station headaches. Now that we have had time to live with it, the verdict is in: absolute destruction of debris and zero stress for the operator.

Let’s be real for a second. The biggest fear with going cordless is losing that raw, guttural power you get from a gas engine. But after running this unit for a couple of months, that fear is officially gone. This thing delivers an immense clearing force that tackles tough debris fast. We are talking about clearing wet leaves, jobsite dust, and heavy trash without bogging down. It hits just as hard as the gas units, but you aren't breathing in exhaust fumes or mixing fuel at 6:00 AM.

If you are a pro, you know that power means nothing if the tool breaks your back. This is where the DEWALT 60V really shines. The adjustable straps and waist belt are a lifesaver. You can strap this hurricane to your back and work a full shift without feeling like you just went twelve rounds in a boxing ring. It’s built for ultimate comfort, meaning you can clear more property in less time without needing a recovery day.

The other feature that has really stood out over the last sixty days is the precision control. The digital speed settings and LED feedback give you total command over the tool. You aren't just blasting air unthinkingly; you know exactly how much juice you have left and what speed you are running. Plus, the quiet operation makes for a much more peaceful jobsite, which your ears and your clients will appreciate.

Talk is cheap. You want to see whether this thing clears debris or is just a glorified hair dryer. We put it to the test so you can see the raw power for yourself. Click the video below to watch the DCBL570Y2 completely own the pavement and see why we’re so hyped on this release.
