WORX WG252E Review

The WORX WG252E Hedge Trimmer is a highly effective, clean cutting and adjustable tool. It has a cutting length of 45cm and a tooth spacing of 16mm, letting you cut hedges quickly. For an extra-neat cut, the blades are diamond ground. As a cordless tool, you can bring it anywhere, including places far away from power sockets. It uses a WORX battery which is compatible with a whole host of tools in their range.

We particularly like the trimmer's highly adjustable design. The cutting head can be set to different angles so that you can cut precisely and comfortably. It also has an extendible (telescopic) handle which allows the tool to reach up to 2.8 meters, removing the need for a step ladder in most cases. And, as a bonus, the rear handle rotates for even more comfort.
