Check out our written review www.realtoolreviews.com/ego-56...

[@mrmario11]

I just bought one of these, and I have to say that I'm pleasantly surprised at the power and performance of this model. It cut my hedges with ease. The blades are nice and sharp and the unit does not bog down. I love it.

[@johnbailey9682]

Your videos were always the best hope you’re doing well . The videos pop up from time to time .

[@RealToolReviews]

Thanks my friend 🙂

[@angelamonroe7737]

Thank you for the great review. I just bought the ego lawn mower last year and I absolutely love it and was looking now for a hedge trimmer and was debating between this and the Dewalt

[@kennethcastaldo7239]

I have this product & has done a great job on several jobs I've used it for.. battery lasts over couple hrs .

[@jbw5485]

this thing is a beast. I was extremely impressed with it. charged from fully dead battery in roughly 45 minutes. it didn't slow down once. cut right through everything I threw at it. PLENTY of POWER!!!

[@bukkyadeshiyan3503]

Thank you so much for this review. We just got one and can't wait to use it

[@mikel.1395]

Great review and demonstration. Excellent run time and the 24" blade is a major plus.

[@RealToolReviews]

Mike L. Thanks Mike!

[@1d1hamby]

I like to oil my blades while I'm cutting and before storing my hedge trimmer to keep the blades sharp.

[@charlespetersoniii2066]

Just got one today(30MAY2020). All the best to all!

[@Nothingmuch1039]

Awesome! I gotta pick one up this week.

[@kellyloyd2831]

Excellent demo, very informative

[@patbollin]

Thank you, thank you, thank you for the l real world review. I kept finding all those animated dry-erase white board review videos. Those don't show what I really need to know about a product in actual use cases.

[@brandonwallace1459]

Ego owes you some money, brother. Thanks to your thorough reviews, I purchased a couple pieces from the lineup, and am about to order my third it looks like... Thanks for taking the time to make these great reviews!

[@RebelR15]

Nice to see more and more cordless lawn care products coming out. I wonder how long until Milwaukee gets in on it

[@RealToolReviews]

DieselRiver I would imagine IF they plan to, we will know next month at the NPS15 event.....stay tuned....

[@CLCinflorida]

Can you use 3 in 1 OIL on this Hedge Trimmer???

[@kurt.wilkinsongardendesign]

Couple of things to consider. This is a brand new machine and the blades are razor sharp as well as the battery at its maximum. This is as good as it gets. Any piece of crap cheap hedge trimmer will cut what was cut in this video. The true test for a trimmer is under load cutting a dense hedge. If it is able to cut smoothly in this situation it should be ok. Having said that the presenter did a great job doing the video so respect. I am a professional hedge trimmer and would never use this machine or similar design whether battery or gas powered. An articulated head hedge trimmer is all I would use.

[@epichomefitness]

Kurt Wilkinson this tool is made for home owners not professionals

[@nygardenguru]

So Makita couple shaft articulated hedge trimmer is good?

[@justhays]

I have the mower, trimmer, blower, chainsaw, snowblower and now the hedge trimmer. These tools are amazing.

[@DavyDave1313]

Have you ever had any problems? Have the batteries lost potency? I want the lawn mower and the hedge trimmer but I really don’t trust electric tools. This looks really cool tho

[@XanafiedcatGaming]

@@DavyDave1313 the mower was my first EGO product and I had my doubts about going to electric too but so glad I did. my oldest EGO battery is over 3 years old and it still lasts as long as it did when I first got it. the 56V 2.5Ah EGO battery will last about 35 minutes with the mower and the 56V 7.5Ah will last over 90 minutes with the mower (how long a battery charge lasts will depend a little if you are using the self-propelled EGO mower. I mostly use the self-propelled feature for tough hills). another nice thing about the EGO mower is it fold up making it extremely easy to stand it up and clean underneath around the blade without having to worry about gas or oil leaking out of caps when the mower is in a different position. EGO makes high quality products that will last in my experience with them. since I hate the heat and have horrible flat feet I want a product that is efficient at it's job and easy to maintain. now I have 3 EGO batteries, the blower, the trimmer, two EGO mowers and plan to get the hedge trimmer next. EGO products are worth it.

[@feka88nk]

how its weight ? how hours may baterry?

[@MU55O]

I would have liked to see it used fast on a denser hedge.

[@ericduplantier9691]

Like always great review. I saw the echo cordless at HD but still not sure if I'm ready to make the switch and want to see if anyone complains with any battery issues first because I still think they won't last very long just sitting around all winter and some in the summer.

[@RealToolReviews]

Eric DuPlantier Thanks! Yeah it would boil down to how much someone is planning to use them.....I think for milder climates where lawn maintenance is a year-round thing, they would be ideal. Or, if they expand into snowblowers for example, the batteries can be cross-compatible & you really could use them year round.

[@SteveT-gs9jt]

**SAFETY ALERT** cringed at 1:52Careful my brother, don't want to ruin those jeans ;)Thanks for the review, I just got one and love it.

[@johnnycincocero]

Yeah...I saw that too.

[@1d1hamby]

I think Ego is coming out with a split shaft trimmer with hedge trimmer attachment.

[@Lanninglongarmmowing]

Really sweet machine. Its always nice to not drag around a cord or smell those fumes. I'm still a little skeptical about battery powered equipment though. I'm so used to gas everything.

[@RealToolReviews]

Love2boat92 Thanks! These hedge trimmers last an unreal amount of time....I guess moving blades back and forth dont take nearly the amount of power of a chainsaw (for example).....for any landscaper, I would put these in the "must have" category.

[@Lanninglongarmmowing]

Real Tool Reviews No problem. I know my Milwaukee hammer drill and impact driver last a long time so if this outdoor power equipment has bigger batteries and is lithium they would be compareble to gas.

[@BeeBopGaming]

I love ego products. I have their mower, weed eater and now hedge trimmer. I wish they made a battery operated gf ☹️

[@barnyard27]

Lol.

[@PuttieNice1]

beebop shopbop I have the same , thinking of the blower next.

[@grizzle273463]

That would only boost your "Ego". I'll let myself out now

[@mijit.859]

What about charging the battery on this unit ? 😨

[@nfavor]

No mention of stand alone battery cost? I looked at the Ego equipment and the battery prices a high enough that you'll be tossing the tool once the battery goes bad. You always could buy several Ego products in order to purchase batteries in a more cost effective manner, but I chose not to support them due to their battery prices.

[@grizzle273463]

Dude this was good stuff. Thumbs up

[@jeffhuguelet7744]

Ok, so what is the final verdict - Does it have as much power as gas trimmers like the Echo HC152 or the Sthil HS 46? Other than run time, noise level, mixing gas, carb maintenance, etc.. that everyone mentions in their video, how is its actual cutting performance compare to a gas hedge trimmer? Can I get the actual trimming done as fast as I can with a gas trimmer? Gas and battery trimmers seem to weigh about the same - is there a fatigue factor?

[@RealToolReviews]

Jeff Huguelet I have owned gas trimmers in the past & not liked them specifically for the reasons you listed. I have no experience with the two models that you mentioned, so I really could not say. I will say that it was plenty powerful enough to do everything I tried with it & did not need to take a break due to fatigue.

[@feidex]

Nice video I beginning I think that it will not have much power but when I saw how well it works I was very surprised of the power and I think that it lasts a long time notably that no one uses it every day and because EGO make a high quality stuff so I think that it is worth getting and how long you got a runtime of it

[@RealToolReviews]

MP 10000 $ Thanks! I agree....EGO makes some nice tools!

[@johndonaldson5126]

Too bad. I'd really like to upgrade to this trimmer. I have several bushes for which I must use a ladder to trim the flat top. To reach across the top of the bush I must have maximum reach by using one hand. Were I to purchase this trimmer, which for safety requires two hands on the tool, I would not be able to reach the areas I can with my one handed tool. It's not a question of battery operated or not. My current hedge trimmer is a B&D battery operated tool. It's just getting old after 8 years of regular use. Is it possible to wrap the front green switch with tape so it is always depressed, or does the tool require that both switches are released between uses?

[@ZachGelnett]

Just use a zip tie for the front switch (but if you hurt yourself it's not my fault...)

[@ripdinecola7250]

Will you be doing any reviews on any of the Milwaukee hand tools buy any chance? I have a few and think they are well built. I would like a comparision between them and like knipex, wera, klien etc. Love the videos! Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask :)

[@RealToolReviews]

Ronnie Dinecola Which ones did you have in mind?

[@ripdinecola7250]

I was thinking maybe the pliers, screwdrivers, their vise grips are nice too. Whatever you have time/ access too would be great! Thanks for taking the time out to respond, love the channel!

[@hilobob15]

my hedge trimmer failed because 48-volt switches were used in the 56-volt designed unit

[@geboyz]

I like this guys

[@RealToolReviews]

geboyz Thanks!

[@christschool]

How much were you paid for this review?

[@RealToolReviews]

Zero dollars.....I don't make paid videos

[@christschool]

Real Tool Reviews You should then make that disclaimer in your videos before reviewing.

[@RealToolReviews]

I prove that tools work or don't work.....I don't just read a box & pretend it is a review. Watch any of them & you can easily see the quality of videos that I make. Thanks for taking the time to watch & comment.

[@bklynff55]

what happened to this guy?

[@BattleDamageReport]

Your voice reminds me of that one dude from family guy lol

[@RealToolReviews]

Cleveland?

[@aportilla007]

OK, so use electric tape on the safety switch...

[@cp1699]

That way when you pick it up to move it in the car you can trim a bunch of car plastic

[@johnpower1314]

I like to use the small plastic spring clamp

[@uhly101]

you just convinced me dude, thanks!

[@morrisl7]

3:15 so slow he has to speed it up.
