MODIFIED Milwaukee hedge trimmer!

[@ronwhited1224]

Interesting idea of shortening the shat on the hedge trimmer. I can tell you that at almost 70 years of age, the articulating hedge trimmer wears my shoulders out. In fact, I don't even like to use it for that reason.

Sure would like to know if you can fit the "good" blade to the M trimmer.

[@philodox7599]

Just be carful because if the articulating head part comes unlocked and moves you are going to be very close to it and it could swing and hit you when the blades are moving. That would be bad as you can imagine. I think that is why most shortened hedge trimmer attachments I have seen are fixed and can not articulate.

Great video, brother.

[@MorenoLandscapingMaintenance]

Good stuff!! Thank you for your review.

[@The442nd]

is your modification reversible?

[@zjedinite]

I love when people have the balls to “hack” or modify their tools. I do it sometimes on BRAND NEW tools. I make it work for me. So great idea on shorting it. Now, how about the opposite, I’ve been looking on adding an extra extension. I’m a bit on the shorter side and getting up in age. I freaking DONE with ladders. Plz lmk if you have tried that as I’m gathering info on what would work. Tks!

U could just put another exstention on it. Would probably be too heavy.

[@FixItWithMe]

I know Stihl kombi units u can add multiple extensions. I am debating getting the gas (and heavier) km 131r vs the battery powered unit since it’s lighter. But I know u can definitely buy CARBON fiber extension rods (they also sell heavier steel rods), but if u use the carbon fiber extensions, then u can reach higher

Great mod. Wonder if I can do it with my 10” chainsaw

[@alessespeeddesign]

[@cue03]

What your stance on your modified m18 hedge trimmer since you shortened it? How do it feel/operate shorter?

[@lawnrush3098]

Works great shorter

[@wayneessar7489]

[@lawnrush3098]

Idk. What's wrong with it?

[@wayneessar7489]

@@lawnrush3098 The brown patches and the rough appearance. Has your water been restricted?

[@ricardolopezjr8602]
