18-volt cordless Ni-Cad pole hedge trimmer

Hardened, machined steel cutting blade

8.1 pounds; 78 inches long; 2-year warranty
Product Review
This quiet, clean-running cordless tool is ideal for anyone who needs to clip tall, awkwardly-sited, or hard-to-reach hedges and shrubs. It effectively trims to a height of ten feet, thanks to two interlocking components that form an extended pole shape. The hardened, machined steel 18-inch cutting blade is exceptionally durable and features dual action to minimize vibration and increase user comfort. The 180-degree pivoting head adjusts to five different positions for hedges both high and low and effectively trims branches up to 7/16-inch in diameter. A powerful 18-volt NiCad battery provides 2400 revolutions per minute and runs the trimmer for up to 50 minutes between charges, as well as starting up effortlessly with the press of a trigger. (A locking switch enhances safety by preventing accidental starts.) Without a cumbersome electrical cord to drag around, even big jobs feel easier, and there are never any oil, gas, or tune-ups needed.
The unit assembles and disassembles in seconds using locking collars to join the power end to the cutting head. A carry bag allows for easy transport and storage at home or to professional worksites. Also included are a battery charger and blade cover for increased storage safety. This trimmer is covered by a two-year warranty in addition to a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. It weighs just over eight pounds and measures 78 inches long when put together. --Mary Park

Customer Reviews & Comments
You'll need to have good upper body strength to use this trimmer. It's only 8 pounds, but it's not as light as it seems. The pole can't be removed. If you need to trim hedges that aren't 10 feet high, you still have to stand 10 feet away from the bush. It's hard to be accurate when you're swinging an 8 pound trimmer at the end of a 6' pole. The pivoting head is worthless because you can't really be accurate when you're holding your arms above your head (to hold the trigger in) and move the blade near your feet. I'm 5'11" and I found this trimmer to be completely unmanageable. I'm returning it to the brick-and-mortar store I bought it from yesterday. Oh, the last strike against it is that you can't plug it in when the battery runs out. Trim for an hour, and the battery is dead (after a full charge). This might not be a problem for you because your arms can't take an hour. Imagine the old torture trick of having to hold a dictionary in your hand with your arms extended. Now imagine that dictionary shaking/vibrating. Now imagine your arm being 6' long. That's what this trimmer is.
