The 40V max XGT Brushless 24" Single-Sided Hedge Trimmer is a high-performance solution for fast and efficient trimming.

It delivers up to 6 hours of run time on a single charge of a 40V max XGT 4.0Ah battery.
For efficient cutting, the 24" dual-action single-sided shear blade has bevel-tipped curved 3-sided teeth that easily catch and hold branches for clean cuts with reduced friction. In addition, it has a full-length debris shield for efficient clipping collection and clean-up.
