This is largely due to its high-quality chain – it has an amazing grip that enables it to slice through both hardwood and softwood with ease.

In fact, it functioned even better than some of the dedicated pole saws that I recently reviewed. The hedge trimmer made light work of my overgrown beech hedge, with the 18mm teeth spacing on the blade allowing it to cut through even the thicker, more mature branches. Many 2-in-1 tools struggle to perform as effectively as a single, dedicated tool, but that isn’t the case with this machine. Although a secondary D-handle hasn’t been provided, Greenworks makes up for that by providing an adjustable shoulder strap – you can fix it to any point on the pole to give you the balance that you need when holding it. Both attachments are high-quality – the hedge trimmer boasts a 51cm laser cut blade and 7 cutting head positions, while the pole saw comes with a 20cm Greenworks bar and chain.

When the extension pole has been fitted, they provide a maximum reach of 2.1m and 2.4m respectively.

This brand has been making a name for itself thanks to its focus on creating green alternatives to petrol-powered garden tools, with one such product being the Greenworks Cordless Pruner and Long Reach Hedge Trimmer.Īs its name implies, this multi-purpose tool comes with both a hedge trimming head and a pole saw head. If you’re not yet familiar with Greenworks, chances are that you soon will be.
