I have several Dewalt tools and decided my old corded hedge trimmer was just not convenient, so I took advantage of the batteries I have by purchasing the Dewalt 22in cordless hedge trimmer. The blades are sharp and able to cut moderately sized branches, and the length makes reaching across easier for cutting a nice flush top cut. The trimmer feels sturdy, has a little weight to it, but not too heavy to wield above and below the bushes.
