Amazon.com Review
This quiet, clean-running cordless tool is ideal for anyone who needs to clip tall, awkwardly-sited, or hard-to-reach hedges and shrubs. It effectively trims to a height of ten feet, thanks to two interlocking components that form an extended pole shape. The hardened, machined steel 18-inch cutting blade is exceptionally durable and features dual action to minimize vibration and increase user comfort. The 180-degree pivoting head adjusts to five different positions for hedges both high and low and effectively trims branches up to 7/16-inch in diameter. A powerful 18-volt NiCad battery provides 2400 revolutions per minute and runs the trimmer for up to 50 minutes between charges, as well as starting up effortlessly with the press of a trigger. (A locking switch enhances safety by preventing accidental starts.) Without a cumbersome electrical cord to drag around, even big jobs feel easier, and there are never any oil, gas, or tune-ups needed. The unit assembles and disassembles in seconds using locking collars to join the power end to the cutting head. A carry bag allows for easy transport and storage at home or to professional worksites. Also included are a battery charger and blade cover for increased storage safety. This trimmer is covered by a two-year warranty in addition to a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. It weighs just over eight pounds and measures 78 inches long when put together. --Mary Park

Comment: Probably a little heavy for many to handle, but does the job. Reach capability is misleading, as others have mentioned.

Summary: Black and Decker Pole Hedge Clippers 2008-09-30
Comment: This a good product that works well. Due to it's increased length it's heavier than a normal hedge trimmer. Additionally it only came with one battery. Overall I am very satisfied with the product.

Summary: Cordless Pole Hedge Trimmer 2008-09-21
Comment: I purchased this product in September 2008 based on my positivie experience with the B&D cordless weed trimmer. I have used it to trim a 20 foot Bottle Brush and a 10 foot bush. I was able to trim both of these bushes, cut down weeds and blackberry brairs, and then use the battery in my B&D weed trimmer before it died. B&D claims the pole hedge trimmer will cut up to 7/16 inch branches. That is was I got and found the cutting action good. You can lock the head into different positions to the pole: 180, 90 degree, etc. You can use it for clearing ground growth, which is great. The rubber covering on the pole in front of the hand guard is very comfortable and makes handling the hedge trimmer easier. The disadvanges to this product are: 1. It is heavy and the weight is at the end of the pole (the cutting head). When you swing the pole to cut a bush the head it is going to want to keep moving. If you are on a ladder, you could lose your balance trying to stop it. My wife can not use it because of the weight. 2. The pole does not telescope. It is about 6 feet from the handle to the end of the cutting bar, but if you need more reach than that, you have to have the arm length and strength to supply it. 3. It only comes with one battery. Final thoughts, check the tension were the handle and the cutting head join. I notice mine did loosen during the job. Make sure your getting the best price. Prices vary across the internet and the various bricks and morter stores. Happy trimming.

Summary: LOVE this system! 2008-09-13
Comment: I have 2 drills, a blower, the hand held hedge trimmer and the trimmer on a pole. These are all wonderful. OK, maybe the drill isn't as good as my DeWalt but it isn't bad for light duty. The trimmers are MUCH better than any other cordless ones that I have tried and with 6 batteries!! I'm always good to go. NEXT UP~ saw on a pole.
