Little Wonder 3020-00-01 30Inch 120V Double Sided Electric Hedge Trimmer
I bought one of these at a local commercial power supply company several years ago.
Pros:
- This trimmers is best for contractors using their machine multiple hours every day. For a homeowner, this tool should last just about forever. In my opinion, these are finest hedge trimmers available, without exception, but of course, Little Wonder’s are the most espensive.
- This is Little Wonder's most flexible model, as it cuts to the left or right and its 30" bar is about as long as you’ll find on a hedge trimmer -- which makes trimming large hedges reachable.
- Cuts through a 1/2" branch, the biggest that will fit between its cutters, without hesitation. 2700 cuts per minute. It will easily trim tree limbs if they fit between the cutter blades.
- Large and powerful 4.5 amp, 462 watts, motor.
- Requires two hand operation via safety switches in the forward handle. You must depress one of three switches there before the off/on switch will activate the motor. There's a safety switch on the top, left side, and right side, of that forward handle. Remove either hand and the blade stop within a half second.
- tool works the same for left handed or right handed, users, and it's not particularity loud. No ear protection is needed for example.
- perfectly balanced.
Cons:
- all that power and the 30" bar results in a fairly heavy machine (10.1 pounds). E.g., it's too big and heavy for my wife. For me (6/4 260 lbs.), using it for hours on end is seriously tiring. If you're a small person, you might want to look elsewhere.
Summary:
If you want or need the absolute best hedge trimmer made with the longest blade, this is it.
