I’ve been using mine for over a year now and in the beginning it was an arm killer…then I realized I could grip my non-trigger hand to the foam grip on the actual hedge trimmer. Definitely helped with the maneuvering and weight, much more usable after that light bulb moment

[@kristoferbrown8007]

The manual says to use Fast mode only, so that is what I recommend. I bought this along with the string trimmer that came with the 8ah battery, and I have never used more two of the four bars. It is very efficient. I have used it on everything from 2 foot high weeds to full grown honeysuckle, briars and pricker brushes. If you take your time, it will go through anything. Even though it is heavier and will wear out your arms eventually, I will likely grab this for the majority of my string trimming duties because there is little risk of the debris coming back at you. I highly recommend it!

[@ronwhited1224]

I just received this yesterday as a birthday gift and used it today on 4 shrubs. This thing is a beast and will wear you down after a while. The strap helps but doesn’t come close to balancing this trimmer. You will find yourself wrestling with it. I’m a big guy with big shoulders and I definitely felt it after just 4 shrubs. Next time I will use the bigger 12 amp battery that came with my Milwaukee mower and see if that helps the balance issue.

[@Dave-tc2tn]

I already have the pole saw with the chainsaw, which was friggin fantastic. Great video review, I'm putting this attachment on the Christmas list!

[@ToolReviewZone]

Thanks for the comment Dave!!!!

[@Brandon-yp2wy]

Looks like a pretty good quality tool. The biggest issue I see with it is the cost. It's basically a residential/homeowner unit but it is being sold at a commercial price. And then there's the cost of the big batteries you would need for it. Great review clint!

[@ToolReviewZone]

Thanks Brandon! They actually market this as a pro unit. Would be interested to see how that plays out and if it will catch on with them?

[@ibrazeau3044]

Tool Review Zone - actually, two hedge cutting companies in my area bought these after using Stihl cordless. They run two teams each and have used them since the summer has started and have had nothing but rave opinions about these units. They run 9.0's and they fair well! I am truly impressed so today I decided to buy one as well since I have 200' of thuya hedges and my JD unit is showing a lot of age. I did both sides of the hedges and the tops and ran two 9.0's. I like this unit!

[@ToolReviewZone]

Thanks for the info on this !

HOW ABOUT ELECTRIC HEDGE GRASS TRIMMERS

[@Jeiiyman87]

I love mine, perfect for several things. Do shrubs, decorative trees, and some overgrowth near my pool.

[@ToolReviewZone]

Its getting some heat on line, but it did everything I needed it to do and more bro. I'm really happy with it

[@melsmobileservices4223]

Gonna cut my overgrown backyard today with both (string trimmer & hedge trimmer attachments). Thanks for the heads up & great detailed review.

[@ToolReviewZone]

Let me know how you like it Mel!

[@melsmobileservices4223]

@@ToolReviewZone Runtime is my only complaint. For me at least, it works perfectly! My endurance isn't what it used to be since my cancer & ostomy surgeries. When that 9.0 HD battery runs dry, i am usually spanked too in 90+ degree heat. I bring it in & stick it right pn the rapid charger. It's nice to know that i can stick any M18 (5ah in my case) on it & keep going. It is the real reason i got it......1 platform is cool to me.

[@aurfalien]

Thanks for the great reviews of this and the other Quick-Lok heads. BTW you keep a nice tidy home and yard. It's a lot of work.

[@thenexthobby]

I have the hedge trimmer and pole saw en route. For years, at another house, I used a B&D pole hedge trimmer and it was miserable, not much run time and all-day charge time. Their little string trimmer was the same, but they got the (small) job done each week so long as I planned ahead. I should note I won’t be using either hedge or saw near the house. I’m on larger land where this stuff is away from the house … and that’s the secret for modern homeowners: Don’t plant trees and shrubs near the house. I realize everyone everywhere does it, but it’s really sorta stupid. Make the exterior of your house prettier some other way and you’ll be happier. She shouldn’t need make-up to look good.

[@TheFlatlander440]

Good review Clint. Glad to see you didn't have any probs with it cutting through thicker branches like I did. Mine kept jamming up but I think I was trying to trim too fast. Also, the area I was trimming was at the end of my driveway and it was Fescue grass mixed in with Poplar saplings that were 1/2" to 3/4" thick so it just quit working a couple of times. I was also using the 9Ah HO batt that came with the kit and it did hold a charge for quite a while, Those thicker branches really took it's toll on run time though. I do find it rather top heavy even with the larger batt and a bit off balance after some time, but I got used to it. I found the Pole saw attachment is much better balanced and easier to work with. Thanks for your input and objective review. Cheers mate!

[@ToolReviewZone]

Yeah I definitely agree with the pole saw attachment buddy. I can also understand that going to fast could clog it up. I had to go over the same area a couple times to get everything cut, but I just put it on high and went to town. I'm also wondering if maybe you have a bent/damaged tooth on yours? I've had branches get caught up in a ryobi unit because of that issue?

[@TheFlatlander440]

@@ToolReviewZone No bent teeth on mine and I even added some oil on the teeth to help and it worked better.

[@darkbeekeeper]

Great stuff as always how are you storing all the heads i have not seen any really cool racks for the attachments

[@jeffcoolhd]

I like the fact that you don't have to get up on the ladder. That's a big win in my book. Cool video. Peace brother

[@ToolReviewZone]

Thank Bro!

[@henryt9254]

My beef is that on low hedge, a handheld version does everything this long hedger does. However, on tall hedges and trees, it is a no go as far as I'm concerned. With the extension and the heavy trimmer head, and the fulcum leverage, it becomes way too heavy to try to reach any height .Even with a harness, it has so much leverage on the top that even if you have gorilla arm strength, it gets very tiring. I also have the pole extension for the chain saw. It works great because I can raise and rest it on a branch and then using the gravitational weight to saw down branches. Bottom line is that as a hedger it works great. But as a pole hedger....no go.

[@brandonedwards3969]

Love the videos man!

[@ToolReviewZone]

Thanks brother 👊

[@alanshaw6161]

I have a half mile gravel drive and I sit on the tailgate and run the hedge trimmer and take out all the weeds and the wife drives the Duramax by just dropping it in gear and the engine idea speed is enough to move it right along. 20 mins later and the job is done without breaking a sweat. But I still reward myself with beers just the same 😂

[@GRASSGRINDTV]

I just bought one , thanks for the review

[@ToolReviewZone]

You will love it. Let me know what you think once you get a chance to use it

[@kmain0]

That's a lovely mature mulberry tree! You get some nice fruit off of it!

[@henryt9254]

I have this trimmer. My only gripe is the weight. Once you start trying to trim any hadges that is elevated, you better have gorilla arm strength because the extension will put the fulcom leverage point way out there and it will beat you up and even using the strap harness doesn't help.

[@avega197]

Can you do a year or year’s update on the Milwaukee heads trimmer?

[@shadowzedge5793]

I'm digging the new intro. The way the music is reminds me a lot of the Metroid Prime video games.!!!

[@ToolReviewZone]

Awesome bro, thanks for letting me know. I was wondering what people thought of it

[@galvezlawncare2754]

Thank you for your video I’m thinking about getting me a Milwaukee attachments thank you

[@eosjoe565]

Great tool. I just purchased this myself and agree with pretty everything you said. I have some high weeds along my steep driveway banks for which I need to use the extension pole. I'm expecting it to be a bit unwieldy with the extension but I'm sure it will get the job done.

[@TommyZTrains]

I just clicked on the link (for the tool) and I please have a question: ALL I WANT is the M-18 power head and the extended-reach trimmer / NOTHING ELSE ...and I see nothing. I already have an edger / pole saw / blower (NOT Milwaukee), and again: I just want the "power head" (if that's what it's called) with the extended-reach trimmer / DONE. Thx. :- )

[@NpgSymboL]

I just bought this recently. It’s cool but how heavy and tired do you get after a while 🥵

[@Original_Rando]

Nice review albeit on perhaps not the target workload for this tool. It works great on tall hedges (or your f***n moth**** tree) and allows you to reach the top side without a landscape ladder. It's heavy and awkward and even moreso with the extension -- the strap doesn't provide much if any help. High speed is the only choice as stated in the manual.

[@jason3064]

What's the name of that yellow plant at 11:42?

[@johnrice9121]

Seems to be a nice tool. Why would anyone want to use it on low when you get great run time on high. Good review even though I have no use for a hedge trimmer but good info non the less.

[@ToolReviewZone]

Thanks John! I think maybe they are trying to conserve battery life? I always run these attachments on high unless I'm being very careful around something. Other than that, its balls to da wall

How would this type hedge trimmer. Do on small thickness, black berry type briars? Have these smaller type briar patches on my drain ditch. Around 35 feet length to cut down. Just one side of ditch too cut back.

Probably weeds

[@geoffreydietrich5488]

Great intervene

[@agnitellez6822]

Field weeds known as either horse or flea bane. They get passed on by landscaping companies. Super common. Yank and compost before the seed heads show up. Pain in the ass after seeding.

[@rickvug]

I would not use this as my primary trimmer. The use case is for the higher sections of a hedge as well as articulating to cut the top. Get this only after you have an M18 Fuel 18" or 24" trimmer (if you have the need at all).

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

The blade case is nice

[@ex8280]

is the hedger water resistant? I need to cut some cat tails around the lake, would this thing be okay with a little water splashing on the blade?

[@DavidBurton-x2h]

I use it for that. I make sure to dry it well after I am done and then I oil it with vegetable oil oil since I actually will put the cutters into the water at times and don't want petroleum oil in my lake.

[@ex8280]

​@@DavidBurton-x2hVery tempting to get a hedger and grease it up good with some cooking grease and see how it handle in water.......

[@hardtymz2517]

Unless you have some really awkwardly high trees and bushes, I do not see the point to this. The way it’s designed is insane for usability/comfort. This is for like bush pros who make Mona Lisa’s statues out of hedges. Just buy the regular fuel trimmer. There was never a need to add a ridiculously long bar to it. We just need more hydraulic impact driver options!

[@redman3583]

Gonna blow some stimulus money. All I really want it the hedge trimmer, I have the tall stuff. Since Uncle Joe is buying, we're gonna get them all. $600 at Home Depot for the entire kit.

[@cale583]

Could've got all them for 500. Home Depot has the string trimmer with hedge and battery for 350 combo, and the saw is at amazon for 150.

[@clutch66613]

Does anyone know if it will rig up to a gas powered trimmer?

Should have used that attachment to carve your message to your neighbor. Lol. I might use this video as a game changer for my wife to get the whole kit. Lol

What's funny about that is I actually went further down the field so I did not mess up the last message I carved lol. I told my other neighbor about it and he loved it

@@ToolReviewZone 🤣🤣

[@jerodsmith7200]

This might fix your problem with your arms burning. There is a guy on KZbin that said it was too long so he took out the first pole and placed the trimmer inside the housing so it’s about the same size of a regular hedge trimmer. Maybe you can do the same and see how that works.

Just buy the m18 fuel hedge trimmer then?! Duh. This is a weird attachment to begin with.

Good video but you keep you reviewing it as this would be the single tool for all applications but in reality you would have a regular hedge trimmer and this unit for most jobs. It's meant for hard to reach and taller applications not necessarily ground level shrubs. Considering its 4 tools in 1 and if you do this kind of work it's something to consider especially if you have the M18 batteries already.
