Greenworks G40PHA Cordless Pole Hedge Trimmer with Split Shaft, 51cm Dual Action Blades, Cuts up to 18mm Thick Branches, 125 Degree Head Pivot, 3000SPM WITHOUT 40V Battery & Charger, 3 Year Guarantee

I have now been using this pole cutter all summer. I have several hundred feet of high privett, and native hedging and this piece of kit has made my life so much easier. I hardly have to climb a ladder any more and the 2m length means I can cut back larger tracts of hedge very quickly.The battery life is very good, using it for a number of tasks yesterday I was thinking this must go flat soon, but it didn't. Charging time is 30 minutes on average which means if you have a spare battery, you can keeping working almost continuously. I also have a Greenworks cordless mower which uses the same battery, making the price of other tools considerably lower.Great piece of kit and thoroughly recommended.

Good as all the greenworks tools are but heavy heavy.

Bought this to trim the branches of next door’s overhanging trees. I had been doing this previously with my ordinary Greenwork’s hedge cutter on a ladder. In my 70’s and in deference to my wife’s concerns and my own safety!! I decided to buy this pole version. Brilliant!! Easy to assemble and use, and cuts through the branches like a hot knife through butter. One of my best buys ever.

My hedge was getting , high and this now allows me to cut the hedge with out the need for steps . Well made and no problems . Would recommend

Good for maybe three or four cuts a year any more and the gearbox starts sounds worn out and very clunky.Had three different 40v Greenworks hedge trimmers and they all have a problem with quick wear on the gearing.Nice cutter to start with but doesn`t last long.

This is my fourth Greenworks product - and this one doesn’t disappoint either. Great quality. Easy to use. Excellent battery life. Yes, it may be a tad heavy as some other reviewers have mentioned - but it’s no heavier than my old petrol hedge-cutter. It has the power to get the job done - so you’d do well to get this product if you’re considering moving to battery powered garden tools…and Greenworks offers genuine value for money for a reliable quality product.

Likes:- battery life. Ease of adjustments. Reach. Does the job.Dislikes:- Heavy. No strap included to help with weight. The place you want to grip the pole to keep it balanced & steer the blade, is also the plastic screw down collar that attaches the end of the pole (see picture). This results in loosening the joint every time you twist your hand. I have taped it to stop it happening.Still a good machine despite this.

Very pleased with this cutter, the blades are sharp and cut through thicker branches with ease. I use a slightly larger battery and it does make the cutter heavier but it is worth it for the longer cutting time. I was able to trim and top a 12' high x 60' long conifer hedge with ease and there was plenty of life left to do it and more again.
