Cordless Hedge Trimmers
Posted on 6/18/19 at 8:29 am
Posted on 6/18/19 at 8:29 am
Looking at this Ryobi Cordless Hedge Trimmer. Anyone had any experiences with this or a simlar tool? I don't have many buses/hedges to maintain and may only whack the ones I have 3-4 times/year (max). Looking to get away from a gas powered engine since I do not use often. Any advice?

I have the 56V Worx blower with an extra battery and that thing kicks arse. I’m thinking of getting the trimmer to use with the same batteries. It’s a little pricey @ $200 though.
They also have the 56V hedge trimmer for $169

I've had a great experience with the Husky rechargeable hedge trimmers. Got them from Ace Hardware.

It's a good deal with the battery for that price, but it's also out of stock.

I have the Black & Decker 20 volt 22 ". I got them mainly to cut trails at a hunting camp. They work great and are a real time saver. I did buy a generic heavy duty battery for extended use.

I have it and it's great. I have probably 100 bushes and shrubs around my house in landscaping from azaleas, to boxwoods and indian hawthornes and I have yet to burn through a whole charge on the battery.
I would buy it again.

I got the same exact one for Christmas and it is a beast. 100 dollars is an awesome deal

I purchased several cordless Makita products one being a hedge trimmer I've had the products right at a year here's the link LINK hope it works.
Bottom line would absolutely purchase again!

I got the 60V Greenworks string trimmer and blower and they have been fantastic and exceeded my expectations (my first electric garden equipment, always been gas).
Not the same tool or brand you're looking at but I don't knock electric anymore like I use to.

I bought the Dewalt 20v hedge trimmer bc I have several of the 20v battery dewalt tools. It cuts great, has plenty of power, and I’ve ran it for around 30 mins and still had plenty power left on a 5amp battery. If you have other Roybi Tools go w that but I’d go w what’s convient w other tools you own

Please take a look at the EGO line. Very happy with my hedge trimmer and leaf blower.

I have the 40v Kobalt one. It's a fricking monster. I'm pretty sure if I had the patience I could saw through a tree with it.

I have the 18 volt ryobi and it works great. I got the 3 amp battery and can do my whole flower bed in one battery easy
Posted on 6/19/19 at 4:46 pm to John Gotti
I have Ryobi everything. Love them
Posted on 6/19/19 at 6:35 pm to pwejr88
I have a Stihl HSA 45. Absolutely love it.

just about any of them work good as long as they are at least 40v or better
the higher the volts the longer the battery life and power it has
ryobi uses the same battery for all their cordless tools so thats a plus if you can use the same battery for the trimmer and edger and hedge cutter

the higher the volts the longer the battery life wrong.
The amp hours of a battery determine the length of battery life.
Ah, or ampere-hour is the total amount of charge your battery can deliver in one hour, a tool that draws 2.0 amperes (amps) of current will drain the total charge of a 2.0Ah battery in 1 hour.
A simple analogy would be the size of the fuel tank in a car, the more amps the larger the size of the fuel tank.
An analogy of voltage is like a crossover vs. a ford f150 vs. a ford f250. The 250 can out pull/tow the other vehicles but if it only has a 5 gals. gas tank it won't go very far will out needing to filling up.

this is correct, but does not disprove my statement
im speaking in generalities that its a given that the larger the voltage size on power tools rechargeable batteries, the larger the amp hours it will have.
when manufacturers dont have enough amp hours for a power tool, and they need a way to get more amperage hours from it but cannot make a battery bigger in size, the only remedy is to increase its volts to give you those higher amp hours.
hence the rule of thumb that applies only to cordless power tools is (higher the volts = longer the amp hours)

I have the black and decker also. It does great. Where did you get the battery?
