Sun Joe iON100V-24HT-CT 100-Volt Cordless Hedge Trimmer

With the battery and the 24 inch cut, this is great for big jobs but it is on the heavy side, not easy to use. This is intended for someone who can physically handle those qualities. If you can, it’ll cut (pardon then pun) time off your trimming jobs. I already own the Snow Joe Snow Blower so I had the batteries, that was a plus.

I own a large agricultural and forestry business in Appalachia. If I am using gas tools, I use Sthil exclusively. That will give you an idea of where my evaluation lies on the spectrum. The batteries and charger for the 100V series are expensive. The batteries are also very heavy, which can make the tools heavy and slightly awkward to swing These are the only two traits that some may find undesirable. The trimmer has the same or more power than comparable sized gas versions with none of the noise or fumes. I think the point of arguing environmental benefits is moot, considering that someday you will need to dispose of the toxic battery, but unless you plan on cutting your vegetation with manual shears, this is much more convenient than carrying around a gas can and dealing with the hot engines, fumes, and loud noise. One battery for many different tools. I own them all and use them almost everyday. After paying $600 for a couple batteries and a charger, you might as well buy everything that goes with the battery and get your monies worth. Like I said, I have them all and they all are very well designed, rugged, and highly convenient.
