It's also somewhat more expensive than many of our other picks, but we think the large cutting size and power are worth the price. With a 56-volt battery, the hedge trimmer weighs 12.8 pounds, making it a heavier option than many others listed here, considering that this is a larger tool with a large battery. And the high-efficiency, brushless motor keeps the power coming until your yard work is done. An electric brake-stop cuts the tool's action off almost immediately for increased safety. The handle can be rotated 360 degrees and set at five different angles, so you'll be able to adjust it to reach awkward spots or carry out tricky cuts.

And with two speed settings-the maximum speed is 3,200 spm-you can go faster when you need more cutting power, and slower when you want to extend battery runtime or you are carrying out more precise cuts. The tool runs on a 56-volt, 2.5-amp-hour battery (sold separately) that provides up to 40 minutes of cutting time on a single charge. This powerful hedge trimmer from EGO has 25-inch double-sided blades with a 1 1/4-inch cutting capacity, so you can quickly cut through even large branches on mature hedges, thick vines, or overgrown shrubs. The hedge trimmer comes with a battery and charger, but it does not include a blade sheath, so be sure to store the tool where the sharp blades won't be exposed.īlade Length: 22 inches | Maximum Cut Diameter: 3/4 inch | Weight: 7.8 pounds At 7.8 pounds, it's fairly light, and its compact size makes it easy to maneuver around your hedge. The speed of this hedge trimmer is a maximum of 2,400 spm, which is average for these tools and hits the sweet spot for accuracy and power.

However, it does take quite a while to recharge the battery-as much as four hours for a full charge. And you'll be able to work for those long stretches without having to recharge the 20-volt, 1.5-amp-hour battery, as it can trim as much as 3,000 feet of hedge on a single charge. Designed for reduced vibration, the tool has comfortable, textured handles with a large trigger to reduce hand fatigue when your pruning sessions run long. Its 22-inch double-sided blades slice cleanly through branches up to 3/4-inch thick, as well as large hedges and other shrubs. This BLACK+DECKER cordless hedge trimmer combines a reasonable price with quality, making it a double winner.

The hedge trimmer comes with a battery and charger.īlade Length: 22 inches | Maximum Cut Diameter: 3/4 inch | Weight: 7.5 pounds One downside, however, is that this DEWALT hedge trimmer does not include a blade sheath to cover the blades when not in use, so you'll need to take extra care when storing it. It has a comfortable, wraparound handle that dampens some of the tool's already reasonably minimal vibration and provides a secure grip. It's fast enough for power and slow enough for control, however, allowing you to shape your hedge or shrubs to your liking without accidentally removing too much foliage.Īt only 7.5 pounds, this is a lightweight hedge trimmer that won't wear you out before your yard work is complete. The maximum speed of this trimmer is 2,800 strokes-per-minute (spm), but the speed is not variable. The 22-inch, hooked-teeth, double-sided blades are made of hardened steel to stay sharp longer, so you can keep cutting without worrying about dull blades.

When it's time to recharge, it only takes around 90 minutes before your battery is ready for action once more. A battery-life indicator alerts you when the charge is running low. Depending on how you are using the tool, you can get up to an hour or so of battery power before needing to recharge. Our top choice has a 20-volt, 5 amp-hour battery that gives you plenty of power and a long run time. If you are looking for a robust hedge trimmer that easily cuts through branches up to 3/4-inch in diameter, keeps your hedges looking evenly trimmed, chews through tall ornamental grasses such as fountain grass, and helps you shape and prune all manner of shrubbery, then we recommend the DEWALT 22-Inch Cordless Hedge Trimmer.
