WORX WG252 20V 2-in-1 Attachment Capable Hedge Trimmer

I like this trimmer. It is fine for doing light duty trimming in areas that you could not reach with a pole.I chose this brand because I already had a couple of old Worx batteries from a 6 year old lawn trimmer. The batteries are the same although they've been updated in their labeling a bit. The charger is significantly different, which is good, because that old wall wart charger took a long time to charge a battery. I was a bit worried because my lawn trimmer would go through batteries pretty quick, and I'm still not sure this trimmer would work well with only one battery. One battery was enough for my testing, but I wouldn't expect it to last more than 30 minutes with constant trimming however.Honestly, next to my "Brand X" 18V cordless hedge trimmer, this Worx looks and sounds a little underpowered. Of course the "Brand X" is a hand trimmer, and not on a pole. The pole version of that brand's trimmer may be lighter duty as well. The Worx did OK actually cutting, but just looking at it, I can see that it would have its limitations. The trim head is easy to adjust and goes from 90 degrees down to 45 degrees up (135 degree range). The plastic "scabbard" has a mounting hole for the wall so you can use it to hang the trimmer head while not in use. I guess you hang the pole on a hook then. I didn't see anything in the box for hanging that.I agree with what I read in other reviews. It does get heavy after a while, and initially the pole on mine wouldn't stay extended either. I was able to tighten it up with a screwdriver and a allen wrench. If you over tighten it (like I did), you won't be able to move the orange release lever, but after loosening it enough to work the lever, it still was able to grip the pole tightly and not move while in use. I also agree that a short handle attachment to make this a light duty hand trimmer would have been very nice. It may be a bit underpowered to use as hand trimmer, but it is notably lighter than my "Brand X", and I think it would have made a nice light trimmer (light duty and light weight). Also as others have said, there is no grab handle, which is a real head scratcher since the grass timmer has an adjustable grab handle and it is not nearly as long. The back handle does rotate, but I found no use for that. It was easier just to rotate my grip.One thing I didn't like about this trimmer that I didn't see mentioned much is that the trigger can get hung up where it needs a more grip strength to keep it pressed than I would like. Overall though, its pretty nice and got the job done.

Great cutter, battery lasts about 1 hour. Bought 2 extra batteries for cheap, $25.Use in other Worxx tools. Takes care of stuff I can not reach with regular trimmer. Only thing is that it is heavy when using for longer periods. Comfortable grips though. Cuts through usual hedge variants with ease. Should lube the blades though with a light weight lubricant, not grease, since it picks up dirt. Great product.

The tool is great! It is top heavy as other reviewers have pointed out so I have to alternate arms and take breaks regularly. But it is very easy to use and I take it out and trim a 14 foot high wisteria bush on the side of my house often, whenever things start to get out of hand. If you’re familiar with Wisteria, you know that it seems to grow quickly and nonstop. This trimmereasily cuts through quarter inch thick branches and bunches of branches when they twist together. Really glad I purchased this.

Does a great job and has a good reach. Has a little weight when reaching horizontally.Battery also has good staying power.

This is a powerful machine. It cuts well and the battery runs a long while.Problems : You cannot detach the trimmer and use it without the pole! This necessitates a second trimmer sans pole.The pole doesn’t get shorter than 4’ or so the saw is 20’. It is heavy with the saw and top heavy. Not the easiest to wield. Extended the imbalance is very pronounced. Perhaps if they added some type of attached strap that the user wore to counterbalance the weight it would help.Keep in mind, I am 5’5.

This Thing Really Works good. It is heavy. However it cuts in both directions has the ability to change the angle to reach around the back and top for trimming. Trim my bushes in about half the regular time. Really impressed with this thing. Seems totally built and runs for a nice long time. So far has managed to trim through anything I throw at it.

I bought this to supplement a gas trimmer. I was wanting to be able to trim the tops of our bushes without a ladder. This trimmer does that just fine, the ability to angle the trimmer was helpful as the tops of our bushes are rounded. One benefit I did not expect was the ability to angle the trimmer and trim the bottom of the bushes. Much easier than having to crouch down to do it. Its cordless, I charged the battery prior to use and the trimmer ran all the way through trimming, about an hour and still had charge when I finished. Its too long to use as a regular trimmer (I thought) So I do still use my gas trimmer. But its great for hard to reach spots.Quality seems fine, it is heavy. When its extended my arm gets tired pretty fast because the balance really pushes on my arms. But I dont have to climb a ladder or crouch under the bushes. I really appreciate that.

If you have unruly bushes or a lawn business you need this product. It works wonders! I will say it was easy to set up, has great power, very safe, and a perfect value for your money. I will admit it is a bit heavy if the bushes are high up.
