Gas-powered hedge trimmers are both noisy and heavy and have to be kept fueled. The cords inherent with electric trimmers limit your range, can be clumsy to maneuver, and many a forlorn landscaper has rendered theirs non-functional after accidentally cutting the power cord. You know who you are. We’ve selected our favorite cordless hedge trimmers to keep your shrubs looking the best on the block.

DEWALT DCHT820B Hedge Trimmer, Black/Yellow

Laser-cut precision

The compact and lightweight design make it easy to handle, so you can keep working until the job gets done. DEWALT DCHT820B

The Dewalt line offers this 22-inch blade cordless hedge trimmer with a powerful, high-output motor. The laser-cut blades are hook-toothed to deliver clean, fast cuts, and have the ability to slice through up to 3/4″ thick branches. We especially like the friction clutch which engages to protect the transmission in case you hit an obstacle. It’s designed to be used in conjunction with a Dewalt max 20V battery.

BLACK+DECKER 20V MAX Cordless Hedge Trimmer with Power Command Powercut, 22-Inch (LHT321FF)

An extra boost

The battery and charger are also compatible with other yard tools from the manufacturer. BLACK+DECKER 20V MAX

The Black & Decker trimmer is equipped to take on the tough trimming jobs around the yard. It has a powerful 20V lithium-ion battery to do its work. There’s also a power command button you can push to provide a sudden extra boost of power when you’re in a jam. The 22-inch dual-action blade cuts through branches up to 3/4″ thick, but it can do this while producing less vibration when trimming than other similar products. This makes handling an easier and more convenient job for you. It includes a battery and charger which also works on all other Black & Decker 20V MAX tools.

Weighs only 5.5 pounds

The grab n’ go D-grip handle conveniently allows you to cut from any angle and reduces vibrations. WORX WG261 20v Power

The WORX trimmer packs a 20V punch. At only 5.5 pounds to carry, and with its ergonomically designed handle, you can go all day in the yard. No more excuses for the teens not to help with the yard work. While it’s lightweight and comfortable, this trimmer is still powerful with dual-action 22″ blades. With dual-action the blades cut once, then catch the branch again on the way back, making for a quicker, cleaner trim. Comes with a 20V battery and charger, which are compatible with all other WORX Power Share 20V and 40V tools.

Longer blades, higher power

The handle features a soft grip and a full-length trigger for added comfort. It can cut up to 6,000 square feet per charge. BLACK+DECKER 40V MAX Cordless

This Black & Decker cordless trimmer delivers twice the power as comparable products with its 40V battery, without the hassle of a gas engine or cumbersome extension cords. The power drive transmission cuts up branches without stalling, and the longer – 24 inch – dual-action blades give you extra reach to get more work done faster.

The blades are simple to switch out and it requires no tools to do so. WORKPRO 7.2V 2-in-1 Cordless Grass

This WORKPRO cordless trimmer is just the right size for the smaller garden areas or yards where traditional tools would be overkill.
