WORX WG252E.9 18V (20V Max) Cordless Pole Hedge Trimmer 45cm-Body Only & WG157E.9 18V (20V MAX) 2.0Ah Cordless 25cm Grass Trimmer-Body ONLY, 20 V, Black

As the title says, it reaches the parts other shears can’t. I used it for the first time and it did exactly what is said it would do. Also had to trip some undergrowth so I could change a light bulb which illuminates part of the garden. Great device, makes some aspects of gardening much easier. Worth every penny.

Light weight and simple to operate. Struggled a bit to cleanly cut fresh green hawthorn hedge as chewed it a bit rather than cleanly cutting. Seems to cut fine on conifer.

Arrived on time and easy to assemble. Gave a beech hedge a severe cut back with a chainsaw and then used this to shape it. I was worried about whether a battery trimmer would have enough power but it seemed to cope with most things - I would say probably 15mm is the max diameter it will cut. Used it for about 30 mins with no problem. Bonus is the that battery is compatible with my Works strimmer so got reserve power if needed.The aluminium pole gives a good extension and is strong enough to prevent any wobble. Only criticism is that the motor is at the blade end, rather than the handle end (I think this is standard for battery tools). This does create quite a lot of leverage and makes it quite heavy, especially if you are using it fully extended / for a long period or when you are stretching to reach. It may be that I need to play around with the shoulder strap to work out a better way of supporting the weight. That's the only thing that stopped it getting five stars.

Nice unit - Alittle bit top heavy at times but has made my hedge cutting much safer than climbing on the stepladder. Battery life seems OK always an excuse to have a break " Waiting for the battery to charge. Darling!!"

Appears to be well made. The 2.0Ah battery seems to last well. The charge indicator on the battery is very useful. Easy to operate but the weight of the motor is at the extended end of the tool so it can get heavy quickly, though the shoulder strap can help.Cuts ok but I wouldn't suggest it as the only hedge cutter for anyone with anything other than minimal needs. As a second cutter for hard to reach areas it is great.

It does the job, not too heavy for a small 59 year old woman with no muscles. Still needed the stepladder to cut the top of the hedge though - couldn't seem to get the right angle otherwise

Found it heavy after using it to cut a high hedge after five minutes. Could be as I'm nearly 70 and not as strong as I thought I was.Still did a very good job and very good battery life. Also I can interchange the battery with my Worx strimmer. My next purchase will be the Worx battery mower.

The product itself is well built but the balance is not as good as petrol variants because there is no counterbalance when fully extended. This in turn makes it hard work cutting for a long time. For short periods it's fine and cuts as expected.
