This is a powerful trimmer. It has large openings, so be careful of your fingers! It zips through the finer branches of hedges very efficiently. Easy to handle once you get the knack of it being on the pole.
New to the Greenworks tools. Decided to try out the cordless hedge clippers and it was awesome!! So light and easy to handle even with the battery installed. Made me want to get out and trim things! This shall be the first of many tools from Greenworks.
My bamboo hedge can grow a foot a week and I needed a trimmer that kept me on the ground with no ladder to climb . This trimmer keeps me safe and makes the chore quicker !
I bought this a month ago and used it to trim several long hedges that were taller than me. The unit had good power to cut and the battery lasted until the job was done. One challenge was the weight balance as the electric motor is on the end with the blades, not in the handle. After a couple hours of trimming, my arms felt fatigued. The battery is not heavier enough to offset the imbalance.
I bought this for my husband and it’s like his new Xmas toy. It makes things do much easier for him when he does the yard. I swear if he could do all the neighbors yards he would. He keeps telling me it’s the best thing I’ve bought him !!!
We italians are known for fine cultured bushes. To get perfect cuts you need a fine hand on the cutting blade. This unit is so top heavy, you have to be pretty strong to make fine cuts. It is perfect for long tall flat featureless hedges or for keeping those runaway growth bushes from getting out of control. But you wont be cutting hedges into rabbit shapes. I may have to get the smaller unit for that..or (gasp) keep my corded unit. No need for ear protection+
