I’ve really put this WORKPROX Cordless Hedge Trimmer through its paces, logging about 10 hours of use so far, and there’s a lot to like—plus a couple of things I’m still keeping an eye on. Straight out of the box, I gave the battery a full charge, and that first use was incredible—long-lasting, steady power, felt like I could go all day. But on the next few charges, I noticed less runtime, which has me wondering if it's a quirk of the battery’s design or maybe a calibration issue. One positive note on that front, though—the digital battery level indicator is super handy, and stays off until you tap the little square button next to it, which is a smart touch.
Now, let’s talk about the star of the show—the blades. These things are legit monsters in the best way. On my first go, I had a neighbor walking by literally stop and say how impressive they were—slicing through branches and overgrowth like it was shaving hot butter. The 22" dual-action blade with a ¾" cutting capacity is no gimmick—it rips through hedge work like a pro-grade tool.
It’s got a little weight to it, sure—but I don’t mind that. I’ll take the heavier feel if it means stronger build quality, and that’s exactly what this feels like: solid, durable, and meant to last. They’re not cheap, but if that battery performance levels out, I can wholeheartedly recommend it. As of now, it's well worth the money just for the cutting power alone.
