Need a good hedge trimmer

I have a bunch of Milwaukee cordless tools, so I opted for their 24” model a couple years back so I didn’t have to have multiple battery platforms. It’s done the job pretty well so far.

I’ve not used the EGO trimmer, but a friend has one and likes it. I do like my EGO mower, weed eater, and chainsaw. I will probably buy their hedge trimmer relatively soon.

I’m a fan of 2 cycle yard tools. Stihl HS 56 with 24” blades. Can cut a 3/4 in branch/stem etc. awesome tool.

I have an Echo 2 cycle I bought from Home Depot over 12 years ago. I’ve never changed a spark plug, air filter, nothing, and it still runs great. I’m getting older now and wish it was a little lighter. If you need to do little basic trimming I’d probably go electric. If you are going to be using the thing often I’d buy an Echo or Stihl 2 cycle.

I have a Dewalt 20 volt that I've been completely satisfied with. Picked it up at the neighbor's estate sale after her husband died and she was moving to assisted living for $10 w/ 2 batteries and a charger.

I'm sure all the quality cordless ones are just as good.
