WORX Pole Hedge Trimmer, 20 V 45 cm Cordless Pole Hedge trimmer, Reach Up to 3.6 m, with Battery and Charger, PowerShare

Best thing iv ever invested in. Light weight to begin with but it does weigh you down when cutting for longer periods. However my upper body strength isn't the greatest! Every year I have to tackle the most longest hedges known to man due to poor upkeep on the other side! The ladders are getting a little scary for me so bought this bad boy! They glide through thin hedge branches but do struggle with thick so keep a electric or petrol trimmer to hand for those. It has cut down the workload massively. Came well packaged. Instructions are vague but its not rocket science to put together. All in all i can't moan. Beats getting stabbed by hedges when leaning on the ladders!

So far very pleased with the trimmer - it gets a lot done in a very short space of time.But beware : if you're an oldie like me you'll find it pretty heavy to use, so you can't work with it for long periods. The shoulder-strap it comes with helps, though.

On the whole this works well but the telescopic pole does hold very well when extended. I suspect the weight of the trimmer is too much for it and it slowly slides back to the unextended position, which is a nuisance. A little heavy yo balance, my wife struggles with it and I could see if you had a large hedge to trim it might become difficult. I don't so it is used for smallish jobs and is therefore fine.

Can't fault this, decently well made for a decent price.Certainly usability could be improved with a slightly changed grip and the option of a harness rather than just a strap would be welcome. But, for the price, these would be asking a lot.The trimmer blades are sharp and a pleasure to use, battery life is not spectacular but more than enough for most people as you will get tired wielding something this long on a tall hedge well before the battery runs out.Got mine with the optional "WORX WA0307 Pole Saw Head Attachment for WG252E" chain saw. Scary to use if you've not used a chain saw before, double scary on the end of a long pole! But it works and has been useful for cutting back thicker branches than a trimmer would do.If you need something like this, for the price, you can't go wrong with these.

Good cutting and battery life. Yes it's a bit heavy when extended, but that's to be expected.

I started with a Works Landroid robot mower - which I love. Then of course the battery sharing system makes you think about what else they make. Every tool I have bought from them is excellent. Their designs are simple and very well balanced in the hand. The packaging is only cardboard - no polystyrene crap.This tool made it very easy for my son to deal with a monster out of control high hedge at the back of his new flat.

This Hedger arrived well packaged and with clear instructions, use this in conjunction with an electric hedger as it's not designed for thicker branches.The pole extension works well, the unit is slightly unbalanced when at full height. The battery lasted a good hour before needing charging so for a 2.0a.h battery I was impressed, all in all this hedger is good value for money, comfortable grip handle.Just needed to be abit more powerful.

Heavy , only used once ,because of this it is now stored permanently in my garage. Perhaps it would be ok for a stronger person to use .
