Gas vs Battery Powered Hedge Trimmers || You Tell Me?

[@Bladesofgrasslawncare]

🌺🌺🌺Husqvarna makes the BEST, LIGHTEST, LONGER BATTERY power and is the only one in the game that gives you 400 strokes per minutes trimmers and I've tried most and none can compare as of right now, Keith 🌺🌺🌺

[@Bladesofgrasslawncare]

my bad 4,000 cuts per minutes!

[@zackdunlap]

I got an EGO string trimmer starting out for my first year next year

[@rayrayslawnlandscape2008]

@@Bladesofgrasslawncare Better than Milwaukie m18?

[@inlinesix1187]

I second this. Can’t beat husqvarna battery OPE

[@PJ-tt2nz]

Have you tried the Stihl hsa 94T? Those have 5000 cuts per minute and are far more powerful and robust than the Husqvarna. So I bet you never tried a Stihl

[@hobbyguy79]

Keith, you're busy, I understand, but no card or link in the description. Ugh, oh well, guess I'm going to fall down a black hole of Kalfas videos again, so good, so fun and informative. Mad respect

[@WeykampLandscape]

Hey Keith. We run all Stihl gas powered equipment. Trimmers, hand blowers, back pack blowers, pruners, quick cut saws, chain saws, etc. we do find they are the best quality. Some models do have weak points though and can be frustrating when you spend hundreds or thousands and it’s a poorly designed tool. (Quick cut saws had mufflers fall off on some models, hand blowers are hard to start on some models) For battery power we run Milwaukee as well. While we own them, Don’t use much of the pruning / chain saw tools as they are too slow and weak. But can be useful for a very quick touch up job. We do however love their drills, skill saws, grinders, hand blowers, automotive tools etc. those are used on a daily basis and are very durable and long lasting. I think in 2-3 years the pruning tools will be equivalent to has power tools, but they aren’t there yet.

[@zrob929]

My partner and I bought a 22in Battery Powered DeWalt and it’s done really good work for us. It’s extremely light which I feel helps a lot with hedge trimming as we want to get really smooth even cuts.

A true legend in this game. We use Kelfas as a verb on my job site.

I use Toro Battery-powered hedge trimmer and I did one of my friend's bushes which hasn't been trimmed in 2 or 3 years and it worked amazingly

[@chrisstoyeck9575]

Im using a tanaka tht232 hedge 37 years old can you believe it still runs great never had a problem with it dont seem to make equipment like that any more i also use stihl lot of power but most of my equipment is echo im a big fan

[@Fortvinsala]

I have the EGO electric hedge trimmers with the extension. They are legit 👌

[@ABetterLifeInc]

My main system is the Stihl Kombi with a KM 131R. Only maintenance it needed last year was a valve adjustment. Being multi-use and owning most of the attachments they make for it. Definitely gets used a lot! It has been a great investment. My only complaint is it can feel a little heavy after a while.

[@scottjohnson5828]

Ryobi hate to say but it worked 45 degree angle and 90 is nice to switch on the fly. I bought these in a pinch with no money and I needed trimmers when I first started and I love them. I should say the 40v one

[@maxreed5555]

I have a 122HD60 husqvarna hedge trimmer and I love it

[@RickyTheDon]

I ran alot of Echo and Stihl in the past. This year I switched to Husqvarna everything as my primary and love it. All the craftsman attachments at lowes fits as well which is handy.

[@RickyTheDon]

Merry Christmas everyone! That spring $$$$ is right around the corner!

[@joshuabush2569]

Husqvarna gas or battery stuff? I've also had Echo, Stihl and others.... I'm currently looking at Her husqvarna, great build quality and seem quite and well balanced.

[@rayrayslawnlandscape2008]

Man I run Stihl hedge trimmers and Milwaukee- The Milwaukee hedge trimmers get used alot more! I haven't even used the stihl trimmers in 3 months- I run all my jobs with Milwaukee! It's all about having a lot of batteries.

[@oharacare]

I use my stihl ak series 56 to chop on perenial and ground scalping. Just got echoes ol 58 volt trimmer and lovvve it. Got stihls base ap model trimmer on order. Both the stihl 58v p.a.s and stihl kombi 135r pole trimmers are great. Echoes is a little lighter but the 135r has power. On a side note the new 9010 echo blower is a gamer changer.

[@oharacare]

And yes kieth i have problems with stihls power shafts desasembling. All of echoes 58 volt triggers seem to be fishy sometimes.

[@dg5476]

Makita?

[@jonhutchinson2902]

Stihl hedge trimmer blower and string trimmers.

[@philphillips1810]

I have just a few hedges in my yard which require only occasional trimming. I can't see buying a heavy gas hedge trimmer when a quick-start battery powered one is a cheaper and more confortable option.

[@largeogres2415]

Battery operated makita trimmers are nice and looking into buying the telescopic trimmers this spring

[@jilleven67]

Husqvarna, Stihl,and an old ancient Craftsman 😳😂I also use some very sharp hand held trimmers, shears, and pruners owned by my Dad. priceless.. Happy Holidays, Winter Solstice, and Festivus for the Rest of Us.

[@AWgardens]

Nice one Keith! I'm battery stihl and makita. Stihl has good run time, good build quality, slightly better balanced. Makita tools I got as i already makita drill, driver, multitool etc. One think I want to try is a battery mower and go full cordless. Makes that my USP. love your videos!

[@BigToneTV326]

Built my lawn maintenance business with Milwaukee tools, there a little less powerful as gas but, work great.

[@schofieldlawncare]

We use gas, the stihl hs 45. I bought them off of your recommendation from your video about 7 years ago. We also have some Kawasaki 42 inch ones.

[@ronnrogers9459]

Two years ago I was one of the people that frown on battery operated lawn equipment but now here I am two years later and I made an investment in Echo battery operated lawn equipment it's professional-grade and they're nice and quiet especially if you want to get started early in the morning doing hedges don't have to worry about waking up the neighbours most places I could only start at 8 or 9 in the morning battery-operated equipment is a whole lot quieter

[@davidmaj4259]

As of now i run a pos craftsman combi system from about 10 years ago. Seems to get the job done but i need to upgrade. For small stuff i have a hs46 stihl. Smallest one they make but its a very nice trimmer. Looking to get the best lightweight extendable trimmer thats on the market soon

[@jackmasters9953]

All Stihl gas here. Powerful, dependable and smooth. Wicked sharp blades also. Looking to expand into battery models this next season. Reading reviews and talking to the guys and gals that are in the trenches. Nice video K🌳🌳🌳

[@chevyv.2281]

We run the M18/M12 system due to the battery compatibility with all of their other tools. You may get slightly better results with other companies individual tools for certain jobs, but we’ve never lost time or been disappointed with the M18 system from a business standpoint. Our take is, the logistics of sticking with one system far outweighs the slight advantages gained through using multiple systems/batteries… YMMV

[@PJ-tt2nz]

The hs 82 R and T are the best hedge trimmers from stihl and the only commercial ones. They're much better on fumes because the exhaust faces to the front. They also have a great anti-vibration system.

[@graydongettier6943]

I bought into the Stihl battery system. The AP300 battery lasts 2 hours of non stop use on my hedge trimmer. Husqvarna does have faster speed but I have 2 local Stihl dealers that carry the full battery line up and the one local Husqvarna dealer refuses to carry any of their battery equipment.

[@jamailsills5989]

MAKITA Battery TOP HANDLE CHAINSAW very light and has power like gas. dope!!!

[@jaydidonna]

I'd like to see you use and review Stihl battery stuff!

[@tgsgardenmaintenance4627]

I have a Stihl HS45 & a HS81R, both are excellent machines but are loud and the 45's vibrates like a jackhammer. My hedgecutters of choice are my Husqvarna 122HD60 and 522HDR75X, they are far more comfortable to use and just as robust. For long reach, I use the Husqvarna 535LK pro combi, it has the power to do almost everything. Even used a clearing saw on it!

[@ckl5590]

Nah, I won’t use anything but my Husqvarna gas tools. Been burned too many times when buying battery operated equipment.

[@treeboss5626]

I use a craftsman bushwacker electric then a echo 152 which is the the best one but then homeowner wanted it back but I did alot of free work for him so it's like I was renting it n now I got a kobalt electric works good on certain shrubs ima get some sthil gas and craftsman has a extended hedge trimmers for 212.00$ bit I'm debating I'll probably go with echo on the extendos they r both gas

[@treeboss5626]

The kobalt handle rotates that's why I went w it over craftsmen

[@Koldstare86]

Ego is my battery power tool go to, I love their tools.

[@ossyp9225]

Yea I use a echo with attachments and the thing from inside the tube came out all time , but I prefer gas powered

[@jogood42]

Good video good information best of luck

[@thesouthernreview1083]

Try the rigid brand let me know what u think.

[@bradpatti999]

I use a stihl hs45 petrol, which was given to me by my father in law when he bought a battery one. It has great power and not too hard to start and maintain. But it is very loud. Given I only use it once a month for less than 30mins If I were to buy one I would definitely consider battery. But can't complain. This one is pretty good and he kindly gave me a $250 hedge trimmer for free.

[@acfuller86]

I like Kobalt/Lowe’s hand tools.. just the chainsaw, hedge trimmers, and extension saw and trimmer.. just be sure to get same lineup to use interchangeable batteries- and charge the extra battery at customers house when power runs low.. If the kobalt breaks take it back and get a new one at Lowe’s. No more funding local repair stores with 2 cycle equipment repairs any longer! 😤

[@largeogres2415]

Merry Xmas to ya

[@benjaminleslie3155]

in my opinion, *stihl, husqvarna* and *makita* make the best battery hedge trimmers

Stihl has a battery power Hedge trimmer that moves moves faster if not the same speed as the best gas hedge trimmer but the battery pack for it is $1,000

I have a steel Hedger I’ve had for eight years it’s working very good but in the last six months it’s a bitch to start and now it does start at all and that’s our change the fuel and oil mixture fresh unleaded and you spark plug plus I’m tired of smelling the gas in this noisy as hell so I bought a Dewalt battery 20 V but it just didn’t have the power so I took it back to Home Depot and I went to Ace Hardware and I bought an eagle 36 V and it does the job and better and no gas to buy screw the oil companies I love it!!

Battery cutters can’t cut boxwood or privet. Not enough power. Get gas and make only one pass.
