Greenworks Pro 80v Cordless Hedge Trimmer – Field Tested & Reviewed

Greenworks Tools = No gas.  No fumes.  No fuss.

I’m excited today to bring you a company that takes battery-powered electric tools to the next level, the level that so many professionals in the green industry have been waiting so long for, well that time is now and that company is Greenworks.

Greenworks boasts the largest lineup of lithium powered tools in the world with over 25+ lithium powered tools for the homeowner and professional tradesman! Whether you need a cordless mower, leaf blower, chainsaw, string trimmer, or even a powerful snow thrower — Greenworks Tools has you covered.

Today, we have the brand new just released Greenworks 26″ cordless hedge trimmer with the 80-volt lithium rechargeable battery system with fuel indicator lights, easy fix jam button, brushless motor, rapid charging times as fast as 30 minutes for non-stop power, and more.

>>> Watch the video review below.  Just wait until you hear how quiet these cordless hedge trimmers are:

Why We Are Switching to Greenworks Tools In 2021:

Within my lawn & landscape company, Five Star Lawn Care, we have already begun to phase out our traditional 2-cycle gas-powered tools such as our Stihl & Echo brand tools which we have faithfully used to produce sales in excess of $1,000,000 over the past decade, in which we have helped thousands of homeowners just like you to achieve the yard of your dreams, in favor of these advanced lithium powered, no gas, no fumes, quiet cordless tools.

We also just purchased the Greenworks Pro 80v cordless chainsaw which I am super excited about and will be reviewing soon like but that we’ll save for another day.

What About Battery Run-Time & Longevity?

Up until now the biggest issue for me with lithium technology has been the run-time and longevity of the batteries.  But now the lithium technology is at a level of advancement where companies like Greenworks Tools are now providing a 4-year warranty with each battery.

These lithium-ion batteries are rated to be able to receive a minimum of 1,000 charging cycles — that’s a ton of work! Greenworks tools have put their money where their mouth is with this 4-year warranty and have even given the consumer a reason to buy with much less risk.

Final Thoughts:

While I was reluctant that I would ever switch my company fleet over from gas-powered equipment to lithium powered cordless tools, these hedge trimmers turned a skeptic into a believer.

I love the fact that I can just grab these, hit the on button and get to work.  No hard cold starts or equipment cutting off from not being warmed up.  No more choking on gas fumes while trimming bushes.  Heck, we don’t even need hearing protection with these cordless hedge trimmers and that is such a breath of fresh air.

Overall, I highly recommend Greenworks huge lineup of tools as they have a proven track record of durable, efficient, high-quality tools for homeowners and professional landscapers alike.

So throw away your gas can and hearing protection and get to work!
