Featured in Popular Science magazine's Best of What's New and recipient of the UK government's Smart Award for safety, this is the lightweight hedge and garden trimmer that has rotary blades that spin at 2,700 RPMs to quickly cut hedges and then shred clippings for easy disposal. The trimmer has a built-in accumulation receptacle that captures the loose clipping shreds for convenient waste management. Up to 700' sq. of clippings can be collected using the detachable bag. The blades are powered by a 500-watt AC motor--powerful enough to cut stems up to 3/4" in diameter--and are a full 12" wide for even, efficient cutting in less time. The blades are concealed for a reduced risk of injury. Two-handed operation keeps the unit steady and allows for both vertical and horizontal use. 25" H x 11" W x 12" L. (7 3/4 lbs.)
