Notable Features
The big deal surrounding Craftsman’s V20 Pole Hedge Trimmer comes down to its reach and articulation. Assuming that you’re 6′ tall, according to Craftsman, this hedge trimmer gives you up to an 11′ reach.
Then, when you get to the top of those 11-foot hedges, Craftsman supplies the means to actually shape them up rather than just hacking away awkwardly. The V20 Pole Hedge Trimmer has a 180° pivoting head that has 5 preset positions for cutting at various angles.
This hedge trimmer features 18-inch dual-action blades that can tackle branches up to 3/4 inches thick. Padded grips on the extension handle keep the work comfortable. The included 2.0Ah battery has the requisite power and runtime to tackle the vast majority of homeowner applications.
The V20 Pole Hedge Trimmer Kit will run you $139 at your local Lowe’s. It comes with a 2.0Ah battery and a charger, as well as a 3-year warranty.
