Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Efficient and powerful, yet lightweight enough to operate with just one hand--even while reaching over your head--this electric hedge trimmer from Black & Decker helps keep your yard looking its manicured best. Designed to trim hedges, bushes, and shrubs quickly and easily, the HT020 owes its robust performance to a 3.8 Amp motor and 20-inch, pre-hardened, rust-resistant, longlasting steel dual action blade that cuts through wood while creating 40 percent less vibration than other models. The blade can also extend to reach even high and hard-to-reach areas. Additionally, this tool features a lock-on switch to ensure uninterrupted run-time, and a three-sided handle with soft grips for a secure, comfortable hold. For added peace of mind, a convenient cord retention system protects against unintended unplugging while you're working.

I loved this trimmer first time I used it. It took care of my old hibiscus trees down to my new arborviaties with ease. What used to take me hours, I completed in minutes with this powerful tool. Not too heavy either for 1 handed operation over my head. Balance is perfect. I would highly recommend.

I bought this hedge trimmer for my Mother... she is in her 60s. The same day she got it,she was turning 4' hedges into 2' ones, according to her "it has a nice weight" not too heavy not too light. If we had more Hedges she would still be out there. In all it came down to three things, 1) Weight 2)Motor Amperage 3) Cost.
For a tool that is not to be used very often, it was a decent purchase.

This review is from: Black & Decker HT020 3.8 amp 20-Inch Electric Dual Action Hedge Trimmer (Lawn & Patio)

This trimmer lived up to all the descriptions on the site. However, as an older woman, I found that I couldn't use it for a long period of time on tall hedges. My shoulders ached after a while if I didn't take a break. The trimmer cut quickly and evenly, as long as I held it straight. The longer blade made it easier to cut wide bushes without having to get on a ladder to reach towards the back.
