Oregon 40V MAX* Multi-Attachment Hedge Trimmer Attachment (no powerhead, no battery, no charger)

Product Information

This trimmer has a telescopic pole which allows you to easily reach even the tallest of hedges. The head pivots 135°, giving you complete control over your cuts no matter what angle they may be from. At 33 inches long, this hedge trimmer is relatively compact, and that, in addition to its low weight and two comfortable handles, makes it easy to control. Another impressive perk is its 'HedgeSweep' capability, which brushes the clippings off the hedge as you trim to save you having to do it manually when you're done trimming. Extending or telescopic pole– Since no two jobs are exactly the same you want a long reach hedge trimmer that has an adjustable length. An extension pole will make sure that you can access your job no matter the height required. Its rear handle can rotate so you can adjust it for comfortable handling, whether you're trimming the tops or the sides of your shrubs. Plus, at just 6.6 pounds, this model is extremely lightweight, too, meaning you won't get any user fatigue even after using it for long periods of time. Not only is this tool economical, but it also comes with a five-year limited warranty and a blade cover.

Using the tool on branches over 1-inch in diameter (though it may be tempting because it certainly looks like it can handle it) can seriously harm the blade and the motor.Included with the trimmer, in addition to the battery and charger, is an 8-inch dual-action blade for shrubs and thin branches, a 4-inch shearing attachment (think oversized hair clippers) for trimming grass, and a blade sheath for protection. The battery is interchangeable with any other cordless Worx tools you may own, but it does take around five hours to fully charge. If you don't have many large bushes in your garden but still want the convenience and speed of a hedge trimmer for tidying up smaller shrubs, you'll need a compact handheld trimmer like this one from Worx. What could otherwise take up to an hour to trim with regular hand-held pruning shears will only take minutes with this handy gardening tool. But don't choose a hedge trimmer solely based on what you think it looks like it can handle. "The spacing of the trimmer's teeth is not indicative of the size of the branch that can be cut, so it's important to not just buy a trimmer because it appears to have cutting teeth spaced the size of the branch you intend to cut," Marmaduke adds.

The safest thing to do is to keep both of your feet firmly planted on the ground and use an extendable hedge trimmer to get the job done in those hard to reach places. It can only cut branches and twigs up to 0.3 inches in diameter and can't replace a full-size hedge trimmer for heavier trimming work. Sure you can go ahead and drag that ladder across your lawn every time you want to trim up your tall hedges or cut down the broken branches dangling from your trees, but we all know that’s dangerous.

The idea behind this, Honda suggest, is that if you are comfortable when you work, you can work for longer. This sounds simple enough but this is actually hard to achieve and only a brand with as much knowledge and expertise such as Honda can effectively pull this off and not charge us over the top prices for the pleasure.

By taking into account your specific needs and preferences, you can find the perfect tool to keep your garden hedges neat and tidy. Thankfully, there are plenty of high quality cordless and corded options when it comes to choosing the best long reach hedge trimmer for your needs. Ergonomic design– In addition to being lightweight, you also want a trimmer that has been designed for comfortable use. It needs to be the right weight, length and perfectly balanced in addition to have a comfortable grip position. This is because growth in demand for quieter, cleaner running alternatives has resulted in vast improvements in the technology, so the past reputation of battery powered garden machinery as substantially inferior to petrol powered equipment is now obsolete. Ultra-sharp cutting blades and powerful rechargeable batteries mean that modern cordless trimmers deliver consistently excellent results, producing a crisp finish on hedgerows, bushes and shrubs. And while you will need to charge the battery when it runs down, having a spare battery to hand so that you can work while the other charges means that you can keep working for longer without interruption. As such even fairly extensive hedgerows can now be effectively maintained with battery powered equipment.
