EGO 56v Hedge Trimmer Review and Demo HT2410 HT2411

[@megzin00]

And now THIS video helped me figure out which Ego Hedge trimmer was best suited for my needs. Thanks again!

[@TechMadeEzy]

So glad to have you on the channel / family welcome Fraggle 👍🏻

Thanks for the review I have a corded hedge trimmer I cut the cord once by accident I’m tired of the corded one pain in the neck. Plan on getting one tomorrow I have the ego lawnmower and ego leaf blower they work awesome me and gas powered tool don’t get along always a problem getting the gas tools started every spring ego is the way to go when my snowblower fries going to get ego snowblower

[@TechMadeEzy]

Steve, thank you and it sounds like you’ve got batteries so if you get the hedge trimmer, you can buy the tool only but definitely compare the price of the kit because you’ll probably get a battery for just a little bit more

[@JimSpence]

Got a kit for $105 at Lowe’s on clearance today. What a great hedge trimmer.

[@TechMadeEzy]

Sweet deal happy new years

[@matthewstover6789]

Yep using that tool is like ballet. It’s so smooth and easy to use.

[@TechMadeEzy]

Lol love it Matthew, yeah easy to use, light and just works

[@ajgreen868]

@@TechMadeEzy it’s a beast of a trimmer

[@ajgreen868]

Not to bad. The Greenworks has a rotating handle for your front trimming. Helps out a ton!

[@TechMadeEzy]

Cool I’ll have to check that out AJ

[@patricknelson]

Thanks for the review. I initially got an EGO blower for the reviews, battery life, etc. But I ended up staying with and buying more of their stuff because of the support. I got an extra charger on eBay and had an issue with it (it was user error, my fault) and their phone support was phenomenal. So… “A+++” highly recommended 😄

[@patricknelson]

Also @ 8:24 made me LOL! Emotional manipulation. How can I not?! 😅

[@TechMadeEzy]

Thank you, enjoy, EGO makes good stuff, stay in touch let me know how it goes

[@patricknelson]

@@TechMadeEzy Just got it in the mail. Curious: Is there a particular type of lightweight machine oil you’re commend using with it (or recommend against)? E.g. should I avoid the standard issue solves-all of WD-40? (I haven’t lubricated it yet so no worries there!)

[@TechMadeEzy]

I haven't lubricated it honestly, but I might look into that, I'm sure there is something we are supposed to use

[@patricknelson]

@@TechMadeEzy I’m guessing probably not since WD-40 is more of a solvent that I think can have some lubricating effects, but eventually evaporates away (at least from what I understand). Machine oil sticks around and keeps lubricating. Probably will just get some 3-in-1, since it can’t hurt to have that around anyway.

[@corporalpunish6089]

I have the ego power+ battery from my line trimmer and I have the Dewalt 20/60 Flexvolt from my power tools. Trying to decide which trimmer to go with. Curious that the dewalt 5 amp battery is so much smaller than the ego 2.5

[@TechMadeEzy]

I’m not familiar with the Dewalt battery, but the ego battery is 56 V that might be why Also, definitely take a look at the options they’re going to give you before you make your decision. You don’t wanna buy into an ecosystem that’s gonna be limited. Again, I’m not familiar with a Dewalt ecosystem when it comes to outdoor tools.

[@rickviramontes2317]

Thank you for the Amazon link! I couldn't find that $100 price anywhere else.

[@TechMadeEzy]

Thanks for supporting our channel Rick and watching

[@toddgill2338]

Did I miss something? No mention of 'run-time' with the included battery (not the expensive backpack one you show) ?

[@OldDood]

Informative video. Thanks BTW: It is bugging me with your 2nd hedge you trimmed. You have a 'Tree/Bush' growing in the left side. Did you remove it yet? :) Also, did the battery that came with the hedger was it the one with a 'Fuel Gauge'? (Newest Version) I recently purchased the Ego Trimmer and I was not happy it came with the older battery. (No Fuel Gauge)

[@TechMadeEzy]

Hi OldDood thanks for watching, seems these come with the older type battery from what I’m seeing. Hopefully they will update the stock to the new fuel gauge battery. Leave my bush alone 😀

[@robertg9510]

Thanks for the great video. What is the bush with the pink flowers?

[@TechMadeEzy]

Hi Robert and thank you 👍🏼 I wish I knew the name, it was always a green bush and then it just changes color all of a sudden.

[@malcolm21]

Had HT2411 for just over a year and the gray plastic where the front handle attaches has disintegrated on both sides - wrong choice of material - should have been polycarbonate for such a stressful attachment point, not PVC. Fortunately an easy fix is two stainless pipe clamps in a cross pattern.

[@TechMadeEzy]

Sorry that happened Malcolm thanks for sharing

[@ur3961]

Beautiful demo! I am interested in the storage box you had it setting on?

[@TechMadeEzy]

Thank you, It’s a 120 gallon this is similar amzn.to/34y9ABO

[@CasinoEmployeee]

What time of year is best to trim hedges?

[@TechMadeEzy]

Hi Casino thanks for watching Early spring definitely temps around 60

[@sagegreenpowerllc9772]

Another awesome video. Thanks 😊

[@TechMadeEzy]

Thanks Steven much appreciated

[@Joe-eg7ml]

I have an ego string trimmer, I was wondering can I just buy the hedge trimmer attachment and connect to my string trimmer power head?

[@TechMadeEzy]

If you have the multi tool by ego yes definitely

[@Joe-eg7ml]

@@TechMadeEzy it wasn't a multi tool. It's was just a powered with string trimmer. But just if I can use that power head as a multi tool

[@TechMadeEzy]

No that’s why they make a multi tool, to have 1 power head and different tools sorry

[@Joe-eg7ml]

@@TechMadeEzy thanks

[@HandyTim]

I got the 6ah battery online that cost less works as good and can last for three jobs.

[@TechMadeEzy]

Generic ?

[@HandyTim]

@@TechMadeEzy yeah nonamebrand apparently they're made by the same company that makes the ego battery

[@kewlztertc5386]

What's the name of the shrubs with the red flowers?

[@TechMadeEzy]

I have no idea honestly

[@kewlztertc5386]

@@TechMadeEzy well send me a sapling. They're beautiful, and would match my house perfectly.

[@mmctaggart3012]

Azalea...good in partial sun, comes in many colors

[@HowardRoark1943]

Hello. Should the upper green button be pressed only for switching on, or also during use?

[@HandyTim]

That's the safety switch pull top button then bottom trigger

[@landscaper4193]

How much is the battery back pack?

[@TechMadeEzy]

Landscaper thanks for watching So far I’m seeing $179 using our link sold directly through Amazon with a full 5 year warranty when you register here is our link We normally place them in the description amzn.to/3v1aOBP

[@johnmcauley1752]

[@TechMadeEzy]

Thanks

[@lwm0011]

Garbage. Switch sticks in on position. Called about replacement and said wasn’t eligible. I’ll buy other brands going forward
