If you are looking for a great quality hedge trimmer that will give you consistently good results without having to spend a fortune, one of the Worx hedge trimmers is likely to be exactly what you need. The Worx brand offers a selection of high-quality hedge trimmers designed to meet a range of user needs while maintaining superb quality and dependability across each model they manufacture.
Regardless of whether you have a small yard with just a couple of hedges that need to be maintained or you are looking for something to cover an expansive yard with numerous hedges, all beautifully sculpted, you need a quality Worx hedge trimmer to get the job done right.
However, finding a good quality hedge trimmer is just the beginning. Some important features and design options can make a hedge trimmer stand out from the others.
For example, you not only want your hedge trimmer to be able to handle the job efficiently, but you should also want to look for one that can provide the least amount of fatigue and discomfort for the user.
Fortunately, Worx offers several models that specifically meet the high demand for quality performance while providing the safest and most comfortable designs for accurate trimming with reduced fatigue. Additionally, their cordless models mean no frustrating cords to deal with. Charge your trimmer, and it will be ready to go when you are.
Lithium Worx Hedge Trimmer
One of the newest models offered by Worx is their Lithium Worx HT hedge trimmer. This Worx hedge trimmer offers an 18-volt lithium-powered battery which has the advantage of being more compact and lighter in weight than a typical Ni-Cd battery while still providing a significantly longer run time which is especially helpful for those big jobs.
There is nothing more frustrating than running out of battery power in the middle of your yard work. Fortunately, even if you do lose power, the quick charge feature can have you back up and running in a relatively short amount of time.
Additionally, the high-capacity lithium battery is always ready to go, even if it has been sitting in your garage for several months, and it has no memory effect that could diminish the life of the battery over time. For added convenience, you can fully charge the lithium battery in only 30 minutes. This can significantly reduce the amount of time you need to get your hedges trimmed.
The Lithium Worx HT hedge trimmer comes with an ergonomic design that will leave you feeling less fatigued and provide a much more comfortable process for trimming your hedges. The two-handed multi-grip switch system means there is an added measure of safety against accidental starts. The hardened steel dual-action blade helps to reduce vibration and ensure exceptionally smooth cutting performance.
Worx hedge trimmers provide efficient cutting for thicker branches and twigs for a fast and professional job. The 20 inch Lithium Worx HT can trim branches up to 9/16 inches in diameter, which can make trimming your hedges as easy and efficient as possible. This model also comes complete with an aluminum sheath for added protection if the kids are around when the unit is not used.
Worx HT Hedge Trimmer
In addition to the 18-volt model, an identical Worx hedge trimmer comes with all of the same features. Still, it includes a powerful 24-volt battery for a dramatic 25 percent increase in power over the 18-volt model.
This additional power can be beneficial for large projects and jobs requiring the cutting of thicker twigs and branches. You can have the advantage of Worx quality in this heavy-duty model designed for speedy and efficient work.
Of course, the ergonomic design and lithium battery still offer the same comfort and convenience of the 18 volt model in a lightweight hedge trimmer that commercial or professional landscapers really desire.
Other popular Worx hedge trimmers include the WG252 as well as the handheld W801 model.
Worx WG252 Cordless Hedge Trimmer
The Worx WG252 offers a 20 inch, 18-volt cordless hedge trimmer ideal for just about any home environment. The head is swivel 180 degrees, so you can turn the whole blade sideways if you want.
It features a comfortable, adjustable grip for added comfort, safety, and precision. This model also features an 18-volt rechargeable battery pack for efficient power in a compact design that is easy to use.
The battery can fully charge in one hour and is interchangeable with other Ni-Cd Power-share tools offered by Worx. When not in use, you can store the Worx hedge trimmer on the included wall-mount storage rack until it is needed again.
It got a safety on the handle to prevent your hand from getting cut by the trimmer. It would help if you pushed the button for the tool to operate.
You got to have your hand on it. Otherwise, it won’t work. You can trim your hedges up, down, or sideways easily. You can trim the sides of the hedges also because you can turn the swivel head 180 degrees.
Pros:
- It is a quiet hedge trimmer. The noise it generates is very less.
- Lightweight.
- Can rotate the cutting head 180 degrees.
Cons:
- Need to have a strong arm to hold this trimmer.
- Not heavy-duty.
Worx WG801 20V Power Share 4″ Cordless Shear and 8″ Shrubber Trimmer
The WG801 model is a small hand-held cordless grass shear/hedge trimmer with a 3.6-volt lithium-ion battery. This technology offers a long-life battery that does not self-discharge yet provides a lightweight design for a more comfortable and easier-to-use trimmer.
The soft-grip handle helps to improve grip and reduce fatigue. This versatile handheld model is perfect for light touch-ups on shrubbery and hedges, as well as a convenient tool for trimming grass around flower beds and retaining walls.
The Worx WG801 20 volt shear shrubbery trimmer comes with a battery charger and blades. This particular trimmer is also versatile in that it is a really great tool for carving out designs in shrubbery and hedges.
Battery
I do want to address the battery here. This battery has a charger that comes with it. It takes 5 hours to charge, and then you’re good to go.
As far as how long the battery lasts, this is something that I don’t have a definite answer to.
I looked in the manual and search everywhere, but there is no exact time written in the manual.
It says online from works themselves that the actual results vary depending on the density of grass and weeds.
The amount of trimming and edging also can be the factors that affect the age of the battery pack.
There is one user who has experience with it. He told me that the Worx WG801 Shrubbery Trimmer battery would cut about the average of a fourth of an acre of bushes on a single charge.
Blade
The other thing I want to discuss here is how you can change the blade. It’s straightforward to do, actually. All you need to do is press the button, pull the blade out, push the new one in, and you’re good to go.
This Worx shrubbery trimmer is very easy to handle and maneuver.
Pros:
- It can cuts things very quickly.
- It’s easy to maneuver.
- It has good battery life.
Cons:
- This little trimmer is not as strong as other trimmers. If you are looking for something that has a lot of cutting power, or something that you can use to cut trees, then you may want to consider a different trimmer because this one is more for hedges or shrubbery since hedges or shrubbery don’t require a lot of force or power for you to do the task.
