RYOBIOHT1845 18V ONE+ Cordless 45cm Hedge Trimmer (Body Only)

Does the job for me perfectly as I have mostly shrub like trees or bushes. It’s powerful enough to cut through decent sized stems effortlessly. During operation I use it intermittently, not triggering for long periods to avoid the motor from overheating. The battery longevity is excellent using the 18v 2.5ah which was very surprising, easy to handle as it is reasonably light weight, cuts with ease, good design that feels somewhat robust not cheaply made.Would I recommend, yes - Perfect if you already have Ryobi tools, and some shrubs!

Great for quick cuts in particular as no wires or firing up. Very effective even with thickish branches and light in weight. Overall very pleased and good value for money.

Give me an excuse to buy a new One+ and I will. I don't need much of a reason, any tenuous one will do!I continue to add to the collection because I've never had a bad tool from Ryobi. And this hedge trimmer is no exception.Having planted a couple of bamboos in pots over the last few years, the time had come where it wasn't possible to leave them unchecked any longer. So what's a guy to do? He can painstakingly trim using the tools he has, or go another step in with One+.As you'd expect the trimmer is easy to use - press the button and with a simple scything motion the unwanted offshoots go bye bye. In a matter of mere moments, what was once an unkempt mess of a bamboo suddenly looks worthy a place in a well respected garden. I'm sure if you're talented you could easily create a topiary masterpiece with this tool, but in my novice hands a simple rounding off was the best outcome possible.The Ryobi trimmer is fairly lightweight but I imagine you could get tired using for long periods of time. The blades cut with absolute ease even through some slightly tougher branches on some of my other bushes. I've been using with a 5Ah battery as anything less would likely see diminishing results quite quickly and with that battery installed I've run out of bushes and hedges to trim before the battery has died or there has been any impact to performance of the trimmer.A great buy and worthy addition to my One+ collection.

This represents a great tool for the price, and definitely recommended!We have a small number of fairly mature border bushes of mixed holly and another unknown greenery (recently moved in) but its very woody. There is also a large (now egg shaped) conifer style bush in the front garden that had grown out of control.Given these could potentially be done by hand, my requirements were to get a tool that would not be too expensive, but perform as I needed for the task and potential future requirements.I looked at every type of hedge trimmer tool (battery, mains and petrol) and all had really useful pros/cons but in truth the 'dad mode' in me wanted to get the beastiest petrol hedge trimmer I could find! That being said I soon returned to the land of common sense and excluded the petrol element from the equation simply due to cost and my requirements being minimal.I opted for the cheapest Ryobi in the end and I am really pleased with it. I ordered the bare tool since I have a few batteries from other tools and that was it! I used a single 1.5AH battery and it lasted the whole job of about 30 mins.There were a number of models and none seemed to have any discernable features other than a brush attachment which did not look that useful anyway yet affected price quite significantly. Agreed they likely cut larger branches though.The key concerns were ability of the tool to do the job, and the operating time but both of these turned out to be non issues in my case. I think its easy to assume you will need a 5AH battery for every tool but in truth I will now on always try with the batteries I have, then order on prime should in need anything that lasts longer.Overall its a great tool, and the only time I will begrudgingly accept a battery tool being better than petrol :D

Nice and light ! Can use batteries from other Ryobi tools that I have. No cables to accidently cut through

Excellent for small to medium hedge cutting tasks. Was a bit worried that my small batteries would not be up to the task but have been fine for 20 mins or so each use.

great bit of kit this ,not only is it lightweight and easy to use if you use the bigger battery it has plenty of power . I just used this on my 50 ft hedge and it cut through the brambles like a knife through butter .I have nothing bad to say about this hedgetrimmer ,i am glad i found it but works better with the bigger more powerful battery .

Ryobi tools are better made in my opinion over many other power tools, having purchase a good few now this hedge cutter didn’t disappoint.Having a few sizeable hedges l wanted an additional hedge cutter that was lightweight in comparison to my petrol hedge cutter, the battery aspect allows less fuss to do a bit of trimming and my wife can use it with ease, whereas the petrol hedge cutter is heavy and hard to start. As the Ryobi 3 year warranty is pretty bulletproof, which l can say we have tested a few times without disappointment - l could recommend this and other Ryobi tools.
