Amazon.com Review
This amped-up version of the classic Hedge Hog trimmer features a patented blade tooth design to help cut through thicker branches. Smaller-scale trimmers are fine for new growth, but this one helps clean up overgrown and older hedges and shrubs, handily cutting through branches up to 3/4 of an inch in diameter. Surprisingly lightweight and comfortable in the hand at only 6 1/5 pounds, the trimmer runs off a powerful 2.8 amp motor that generates a fast-cutting 3,300 strokes per minute. The trimming blade is made from pre-hardened steel for durability, rust resistance, and long-lasting sharpness. Measuring 22 inches, the blade provides even cuts and an extra-long reach, so you don’t always have to climb a ladder to reach the top of the hedge, while its dual action minimizes vibration, increases user comfort, and diminishes fatigue. When turned on, a locking safety switch allows continuous operation without holding down a trigger; turned off, the switch prevents accidental start-ups. A cord retention features anchors the electrical cord to prevent accidental unplugging. The unit arrives fully assembled, and is covered by a full two-year warranty. --Mary Park

Hedge Trimming Hedge Hog with pro results
The bladges are much better than other products on the market. The blade can accomodate wider branches. This product has a blade cover that protect the trimmer's blade. There is a safety switch and a continious cut switch for larger jobs.

I am more than satisfied.

Should have paid attention to reviews before purchasing!
Like the first review said this trimmer does not cut off clean. You end up with chewed off instead of cut trimmings. My old trimmer (not a B & D)
was 100% better. I am sorry that I purchased this inferior trimmer.

Chews & splinters
"Trimmer" saws and chews (splinters)its way through shrubs, bushes, etc. No one can say it cuts. It does successfully chew to length.
