Craftsman Gives Homeowners High-Value Hedge Trimming
For most homeowners, a reliable hedge trimmer is a must-have item in the tool shed. But because the options out there are plentiful, it’s helpful to have a quick product tour of a specific model. Well, that’s just what we’ve got here with the Craftsman cordless hedge trimmer (CMCHTS820).
Craftsman Cordless Hedge Trimmer – Performance/Design Overview
When it comes to features and design, one of the first things you’ll probably notice with Craftman’s hedge trimmer is that it’s pretty light. At just 8 pounds, it’s comparatively easier to use than heavier models. Of course, this is particularly handy when you have a lot of shrubs and small trees to trim.
And while this does come with tradeoffs like knife length and capacity, there are some features that stand out on this trimmer.
For instance, this Craftsman cordless hedge trimmer comes with a Power Saw blade on its tip. It may not look all that big, but it can cut branches up to 1.5 inches thick. That means that you don’t need to run and grab a second tool when you come across heavier branches.
The topic of power brings us to the motor. When you look at the electric OPE landscape, you’ll notice that the brushless design is becoming increasingly prevalent. Much of this has to do with efficiency and, ultimately, tool life.
In this case, however, Cordless hedge trimmers are some of the most efficient battery-powered lawn care tools there are, so the fact that the CMCHTS820 has a brushed motor isn’t a big deal.
Moreover, with the 2.0Ah battery, you should have more than enough trigger time for maintenance cutting on most lawns. And the bonus here is that the smaller battery keeps the tool’s weight down.
