Oregon 120V Cordless Professional Series
We recently had the pleasure of checking out the new Oregon product line at the 2017 GIE Expo in Louisville, Kentucky. Along with a really cool automatic chain sharpener, Oregon also showcased their new lineup of battery-powered commercial grade tools. The Oregon 120V Professional Series Cordless Equipment promises more power than comparable gas-powered tools. And, […]
Milwaukee M18 Fuel Hedge Trimmer Video Review
Hedge trimmers are one of the most consistent performers in the cordless revolution away from gas engines and extension cords. The Milwaukee M18 Fuel Hedge Trimmer finds itself in an increasingly crowded list of cordless hedge trimmers. So how does if compare?

Worx 56V Cordless Hedge Trimmer Review WG291
Having grown up on a larger property, dealing with unruly hedges and landscaping became part of my job. I had sisters, and while they were certainly capable, oftentimes the cutting duties fell to me. Had I access to a Worx 56V cordless hedge trimmer back then, my life would have been much easier. What’s really surprising, […]
New 2016 Makita MM4 4-Stroke Hedge Trimmers
Makita seems to have cracked the code when it comes to their 4-stroke engines found on the new Makita MM4 4-Stroke Hedge Trimmers.

There’s a famous quote that goes something like this: The world doesn’t want a product that’s 15 years ahead of its time; the world wants a product that’s 15 minutes ahead of its time. When the new Husqvarna RAMUS Design Concept hedge trimmer was unveiled in Antwerp, Belgium last week, we saw something new—something unknown. Is […]
DeWalt 40V Max Hedge Trimmer Review
The DeWalt 40V Max Hedge Trimmer rounds out my trifecta of the DeWalt OPE line, so at this point I know what to expect, and this trimmer is no exception. Pulling the black and gold out the box I’m greeted with the look and feel of quality and a form that follows function. Perhaps not […]
Husqvarna 36V Hedge Trimmer Review (536LiHD60X)
I remember trimming hedges at my Mom’s house. While I love my Mama, there was definitely some mental preparation that had to be done ahead of Koehler Family Work Day. Dragging the extension cords all around the house and yard where it seemed like every possible foot of perimeter had something to trimmed was not […]
