Craig Poirier –
I’m surrounded by hedges on three sides of my home. For years I have been using both a corded hedge trimmer and a battery powered hedge trimmer but not a pole hedge trimmer. Having a pole hedge trimmer has just made trimming the face and the top of the hedges a thousand times easier. In order to trim the tops of the hedges I was having to get on a ladder and hang my body out as far as it could go to reach the back half of the hedge since they are so large. This caused my back and shoulders to hurt at the end of the day because of being so over extended. With this new Ryobi cordless pole hedge trimmer those days are a thing of the past. I’m now able to stand on the top of my ladder and comfortably swing the pole hedge trimmer back and forth with almost no strain on my upper body to trim the top of the hedge. If my shoulders do start to ache I can use the provided shoulder strap to further remove any strain. This pole hedge trimmer comes in three pieces and you can set it up to be 5.7 ft. long or 8 ft. long depending on how far out you need to reach. With the trimmer setup in its 5.7 ft. configuration I can now quite comfortably trim the back top half of the hedges with no problems. It also makes trimming the face of the hedges much easier because I can now reach the whole face of the hedge from the ground. I no longer have to constantly climb up and down the ladder and have to move the ladder every few minutes once an area is trimmed. This is going to save me considerable time going forward. With the power of the Ryobi 40-Volt lithium-ion battery and the 2.0 Ah battery I should be able to trim a large section of my hedges at any given time now. The 5/8″ cut capacity also makes easy work of the hedges. Unless you have a really thick hedge the 5/8″ cut capacity should be plenty. This pole hedge trimmer also has a pivoting head so you can angle it at multiple angles. This is perfect for anyone who wants to trim the bottom of the hedge (or the top). You can set the angle and just walk down the hedge trimming it smoothly without having to bend way over to do so. If you are like me and have a lot of hedges to trim I would definitely buy one of these Ryobi pole hedge trimmers. With its padded handle (in the middle section if used) and its 18″ bar length it will make fast work of any hedges or bushes you may have. With its 8.2 lb. weight your back and shoulders will thank you at the end of the day.
