60V Cordless Hedge Trimmer WS8162U

The media could not be loaded.  I just purchased this Wesco trimmer and trimmed the bushes around my front yard cage. The total hedge is 30 yards and I cut the top and sides. There is 2/3 battery left after the job. BTW, I love the battery indicator which can show remaining battery life like a smart phone. The power was exceptional when cutting limbs within the bushes, thanks to the 60V battery. There were no uncomfortable vibrations or kick back while using the trimmer. The noise is not loud. The size of the 60v battery is large, at least 4x4x4 inch. Its handle and lock can be easily operated by one hand. The trimmer handle can rotate by 90 degrees, so trimming the vertical side of the hedges is more convenient. The extra lock at the front handle provides another protection mechanism to start trimmer accidentally. Because the trimmer is built with solid materials and the battery is large, the total weight is about 20 lbs. I wish it was a little bit lighter. BTW, I accidentally broke the shield plate, contacted the seller, they send me a replacement without charge.

I just put my new cordless hedge trimmer through a good test on my front hedges - worked great! They are lighter and so much more maneuverable than my corded clippers. On those I have cut through the cord at least three times - no more. They are plenty powerful enough, and I had no problem with battery life.

Finally had a sunny, cool day here so I brought out the hedge trimmer. I do not have a hedge but I do have a tree arched driveway that was starting to encroach too much. Well about an hours worth of work and this thing did its job. Fairly light weight, cut through 3/8" branches no problem. Did it all on 1 battery worth of charge. The one thing that I do not like is the dual safety. Having to hold the crossbar and the trigger at the same time really limits your reach. Overall I am impressed with these Wesco tools so far.

I love this tool!! It is lightweight enough to maneuver it as needed and it works GREAT!! I was able to trim my bushes NICELY in a very short time compared to days trimming and blisters by hand-I just wish I’d have bought this sooner!

I can't find a place to call for warrantee---it has a 2 year warrantee and I have spent a lot of time trying to find a way to get ahold of Wesco-tools---I have only used it maybe 5 times and have had it less than 1 year----it works great when it worked. I need a way of getting a hold of Wesco----maybe someone out then could help----they said on the paperwork I got with the trimmer to call their hotline, but no phone number---Do not buy one of these and Amazon should not sell something that it is impossible to get ahold of the manufacture's to make good on their warrantee's, thanks, Keele

This hedge trimmer is a beast, 60 volt plenty of power. The only thing I dislike is that is heavy. But if you have a lot of hedges this will definitely get the job done. The battery last a very long time on a full charge. I love these wesco products.

The batteries last a long time and it is nice and sharp.Don't forget to spray some oil on the blades every now and then.

Nothing not to like about this chainsaw! Used it to saw a large tree out of the county road. Ran like a champ!I was disappointed to learn that it was not a Makita as represented in the listing. Coloring and specs are same as Makita however. Batteries came fully charged and assembly was easy.
