WORX WG252 20V 20" Cordless Hedge Trimmer, Reach Up to 12 Feet, Extended Pole, 180° Rotation Head, PowerShare – Battery & Charger Included

Works great! Easy to use and change head direction. I ended up buying addition Worx tools too!

It’s well made and fits together perfectly. It cuts good and adjusts quite easily. I thought I would be able to use it without the extended length, like a regular hedge clipper. I found it to be quite heavy when using it at full length. My arms were quite tired for sure after using it at full extension. I guess I’ll have to keep using the old one as well as the new one. It sure did make it easier because I didn’t have to use a ladder to reach the high bushes. The battery lasted through the whole job. I was trimming large bushes with it not hedges. They about 11 feet tall and 12 feet in diameter. I would give it a rating of 9 out of 10. I’m happy with the purchase.

I bought this to cut my tall hedges. It does allow you to cut the top of the hedge without getting on a ladder; however since my hedge is deeper than the blade I still need to use a ladder. It also is good for trimming thin tree branches.PROs: Don't need an extension cord; Cuts very smooth; Battery lasts a long time (have not encountered it running out of battery in the middle of use); Extends and are able to reach tall branches; Pivoting head allows for great angles to get a straight cut. Also can turn the head so it's more comfortable when trimming.CONs: It's a little heavy (although lighter than others on the market); In order to balance the trimmer and hold the "on" switch it is a bit awkward. Would be better if the stationery pole was a little shorter and the extension part longer. I have long arms and still have a hard time. Also have had to tighten the lock plates on pole with allen wrench to keep extension piece in place.All in all I'm happy with the trimmer. Just wish you could get a shorter pole to make it more comfortable to use.

Just finished shearing a huge (12-15' tall) Canadian hemlock hedge with this trimmer, and it worked great! Head tilts up and down, and shaft rotates to get sides. Battery was adequate, and includes a little tester button to see remaining charge (a feature not usually found on the cheaper batteries). It was about half full after a good hour of trimming (not constant running; hour of total work time). You can get about 3/8" thick branches with this, similar to other hedge trimmers. The handle is plenty long.Two things that would make this unit even better: lighter weight (it's pretty heavy) and the ability to use the trimmer head as a detachable trimmer on its own. It's silly that I have to buy another whole trimmer to have a handheld one when there's one RIGHT HERE - it just doesn't have a way to connect it to the battery and trigger without the giant stick in between.

Just got this last week and today was the 1st day to try it.. We have high bushes that need a long reach.Decided on Worx because I have the edger which I am truly pleased with.The good: Full extension came out to 8', which helped a lot. The option of changing the blade angles also helped a lot. I like that its battery operated - Cut too many cords in the past.The bad: The 20 volt 2 amp battery doesn't seem to have enough power to cut the thicker branches. Had to get out my electric trimmer. (Cord again, yuk!) The battery itself lasted Ok. I also used my trimmer batteries. Same type.The hand grip ripped apart after an hour. Didn't last long if it rubs against other branches. It is something that is needed, since the poles get hot from the sun.The weight - It is heavy, especially at full extension. I don't think my wife could do it. Not sure what can be done about this.Wish I could be more positive about it. We only cut the bushes twice a year, so we'll keep it and deal with the negatives. I will make another hand grip for it.

Works very well. Much better than a chorded tool. I love WORX products. Have had many.

I have 6 other yard and power tools from this company, all work great. This expands a good height, but is heavy and awkward. Also doesn’t cut through thicker brush as well as the regular one.

Well packaged ! 2 hours and 20 minutes to get a full charge. I immediately put the unit to work. It worked very. I was impressed with the battery life and overall performance.
