Hedge Trimmers

I've had one of these for a few years and it works great. I only use it about 3-4 times a year. It's corded and I've managed to cut the cord a couple of times.

B&D Corded Hedge Trimmer

I've had both battery and corded. I prefer the cord because it doesn't run out.

I too have cut more than one cord. It's amazingly easy to do.

I have the kobalt lithium ion clippers lowes sells. They're really nice.

Any recs for electric hedge trimmer?

Yes, get gas. Gas cuts so much faster than electric.

I am about to buy THIS one. My last one got flooded and tossed out. It is 4.0 amps where others are only 3.5 or so.

I bought the B&D cordless last year for use mainly at the deer camp. It works great I did get the lithium battery. Highly recommended.

Not sure if Lowes has the same one, but Home Depot has the electric Black and Decker HT-22.Bought one 2 yrs ago,i service about 20 accounts a season with it and its been trouble free for me. Unless you trim hedges for a living i would stay as far away from a gas trimmer as possible

Lowes only has the HT-20 @ 3.8 amps. Same stated cutting capacity of 0.75 in.

Probably going to pick this one up tomorrow. If its not enough to trim the bastard bushes I got on the side of my backyard than I will just have to pay the $$$ for a yard guy to do it. Got a quote that was pretty high so trying to avoid paying someone else to do it if at all possible.

Lowes has a 4 amp corded GreenWorks model but its rated at a lower cutting capacity.

Would rather the 4 amp but they don't carry B&D 4 amp 22". I figure its better to get the more established brand with higher cutting capacity even though its a tad less amps.
