WORX WG252E 18V (20V Max) Cordless Pole Hedge Trimmer 45cm 2.0Ah Battery

lightweight, battery life is great , cuts nicely through most hedges i cut.
Wanted to try battery powered tools instead of fuel for weight , noise reduction and environment, and this product ticks all those boxes. love it, value for money- definitely.
easy to handle, and the lightweight of product makes cutting bigger hedges easier on the arms.

I needed to get another hedge trimmer as my old one was wearing out so I got this one as I already own a lawnmower from the same company.
It’s very easy to use very light and I can get a good couple of hours use of it on a single charge.

Great for cutting ever green hedges, but not for cutting laurel hedges, light weight & no vibration to arms when used. Down side, can’t use in wet weather, but great length for cutting high hedges

Found it heavy after using it to cut a high hedge after five minutes. Could be as I’m nearly 70 and not as strong as I thought I was.
Still did a very good job and very good battery life. Also I can interchange the battery with my Worx strimmer. My next purchase will be the Worx battery mower.

The product itself is well built but the balance is not as good as petrol variants because there is no counterbalance when fully extended. This in turn makes it hard work cutting for a long time. For short periods it’s fine and cuts as expected.

I have a lot of work tools that share the same battery. This one did not disappoint great bit of kit. Good build quality and trimming my very tall conifers was made easie

Good solid quality, worth the purchase worx works best. Save time and effort.

Arrived on time and easy to assemble. Gave a beech hedge a severe cut back with a chainsaw and then used this to shape it. I was worried about whether a battery trimmer would have enough power but it seemed to cope with most things – I would say probably 15mm is the max diameter it will cut. Used it for about 30 mins with no problem. Bonus is the that battery is compatible with my Works strimmer so got reserve power if needed.
The aluminium pole gives a good extension and is strong enough to prevent any wobble. Only criticism is that the motor is at the blade end, rather than the handle end (I think this is standard for battery tools). This does create quite a lot of leverage and makes it quite heavy, especially if you are using it fully extended / for a long period or when you are stretching to reach. It may be that I need to play around with the shoulder strap to work out a better way of supporting the weight. That’s the only thing that stopped it getting five stars.

Am continually surprised by worx products. Easy to use even at full extension, battery lasts well. Not built for cutting through thicker branches (of course) but I used this to do my hedges and neaten the tree crowns – no problem and much safer that working up a ladder.

Fairly well balanced although a little top heavy as you might expect with the blade and gearbox on the end. Did 75% of our hedges before the 2Ah battery died. Had a cup of tea and an hour later it wa ready to go. A design feature might be to provide a ‘D’ handle down the shaft to aid support. Happy in all other aspects. Recommended.

Very impressed with this. Made light work of a mature leylandii hedge. It is heavier than I expected but I still managed to manoeuvre it easily enough. I used a 6ah battery and I never ran out of power.

Let me firstly make two points. First with this item you receive one battery and more importantly one ‘fast’ charger which takes an hour. Secondly, I strongly advise that on the first charge you leave the battery connected for at least three hours. This gives it a much better power holding ability.
Okay, now to using it. Assembly is child’s play. Two sections that simply connect together using plastic lock levers and you’re done. Another lock allows the pole to extend and another allows the handle to revolve. Shoulder strap is also provided.
The advantage of cordless is immediately apparent for me with no electric cable tangled up in my flower beds and destroying plants as I move along the hedge. It’s not as heavy either and I found the head angle adjustment simple to operate. I managed to cut the rear garden hedge in just over twenty minutes. It’s mostly gorse and hawthorn as it borders the field to my next door farmer. It cut through the branches with ease and it’s comfortable to manoeuvre. Not too much strain on the arms means you can cut in longer bursts and soon get the job done.

I was pleasantly surprised to see I had only used one bar of power when I’d finished with two more still available. On that basis I reckon I should get at least 40 minutes out of one. Hence my recommendation earlier about ignoring the green ‘charged’ light first time and leaving the battery plugged in for at least three hours.

All in all an extremely reasonable priced item with all necessary accessories. Easy and relatively light to use. I bought an extra battery too so that when I come to do larger areas I can have a back up ready to go when needed.

I can thoroughly recommend this cutter to anyone looking for a solution to their household hedge trimming problems. 5 stars without hesitation, I’m well pleased.

I bought this to replace a noisy 2 stroke machine. I didn’t expect it to have the same power and cutting capacity but to avoid annoying the neighbours I thought I’d try it. We have Inherited a 12ft high by 30ft long Mostly untamed Beech hedge. Having heavily pruned it earlier in the year I needed only to take new growth off. I did half with the 2 stroke before it died on me again and then I got this Worx pole hedge trimmer. Yes the gear box at the working end of the trimmer makes it a bit heavy when fully extended and using horizontally, but no heavier than any petrol version. One great feature is that it’s telescopic so you can get bit closer to you as well as and full stretch. It’s obviously much much quieter than a petrol machine, much to the delight of my neighbour no doubt, but also to me standing right next to it. The adjustable head works well and enabled me to reach over and trim the top far edge of the hedge which is probably about 5ft deep.
I should mention that I also invested in the Worx 2x20v WG284E hedge trimmer for close up work. That enabled me to tackle some of the thicker stems as the only criticism I have of the pole trimmer is it’s 16mm cutting capacity but I guess that’s as much as a 20v system can handle. As for battery running time, I probably used it for a least 1hr on and of, maybe 20mins continuous use, and by the end I still had two out of three lights on the battery indicator, so no problem there and I have other batteries anyway for other Worx machines. Overall I’m very pleased with this machine. For occasional home use and for light to medium jobs I’d say it’s a great choice.

Cuts well, good battery life and gives good reach when extended. Only negative is that it is a bit top heavy which impacts most when used for any length of time.
