The DEWALT hedge trimmer weighs just 3kg making it beautifully lightweight and easy to handle. It also boasts a comfortable grip handle and has even weight distribution, which is essential with that lengthy run time to avoid your arm aching.

DEWALT brings us this nifty little hedge trimmer that has one of the most impressive batteries that I have seen on this type of equipment. With a powerful 5.0Ah battery included, you get an incredible running time, which makes this the ideal tool for more demanding jobs that are going to take longer. What’s more, with a relatively generous charging time, the wait isn’t anything to worry about. Above all else, this is an incredibly robust premium hedge trimmer. It is made with durable materials and will certainly stand up to some tough use. With impact resistance, you can afford to be a little rougher with this tool without the worry that it will come apart in your hands. For the very best performance on the toughest jobs, choose from one of the range's brushless motor options. Standard mechanical motors contain carbon brushes which generate heat and friction. XR brushless motors run cooler and are more efficient. This eliminates wasted energy, maximising runtime and life of the tool. In addition, you are getting an 18v 5.0Ah battery that gives you a good amount of power and a healthy running time. If you need something that is up for a more challenging job, this is likely a good tool for you. It will chop through branches up to 19mm, which is more than suitable for your average domestic garden. However, it is important that I point out that if you’re trying to cut through denser hedges, it might struggle a little. Features With over 250 products, the XR 18V range is the go-to range for cordless power tools designed and engineered to meet the specific needs of the most demanding trades. From hammer drills to circular saws through to lawn mowers, the constantly expanding XR 18V range has got you covered.

With up to 75 minutes of juice in every charge, you won’t be caught short in the middle of a cut. This is a slightly more expensive hedge trimmer, but I certainly wouldn’t say that it was over-priced. When you consider how well-made it is, you can’t fault the manufacturer for bumping up the cost. What’s more, you’re getting that longer running time and a durable blade as well as a hedge trimmer that is a dream to use. The initial investment is only slightly more than some others and for what you get, it’s absolutely worth it.
