Pros
  • Cuts branches up to 1 in, enough for woody, overgrown shrubs
  • Rear handle rotates 180 degrees, so trimming hedge sides is comfortable
  • Comes with two batteries and a 2 A charger, so one charges while the other works
  • Long 25 in blade covers wide hedges in fewer passes
Cons
  • Needs both batteries installed to run, so a single spare 20V pack won’t do
  • At 7.7 lb with batteries it is heavier than 20V trimmers for overhead work
