Need to take care of some overgrown hedges? If it’s time to trim plant growth, the fastest way to do that is with a gasoline- or electric-powered hedge trimmers.
Trimming is different than pruning. When you’re pruning, you’re removing dead branches, opening up the plant so it can grow better, and taking off branches that are growing in the wrong place. Trimming involves sheering away the tips of the branches. You’ll usually trim in order to shape hedge shrubs like boxwoods and keep them looking neat.
RedMax offers a full selection of hedge trimmers to tackle a wide range of trimming work. There’s a tool available to fit any situation, whether you need to quickly trim a short hedge, sculpt a creative hedge shape, or safely cut a tall hedge. RedMax hedge trimmers are an excellent choice.
RedMax Hedge Trimmers Styles
The use of heavy-duty commercial grade steel parts in both residential and professional models means that RedMax trimmers are durable and long-lasting. With their powerful, environmentally-friendly engines, RedMax hedge trimmers are a great choice for homeowners and professionals.
Redmax offers several styles, including double and single-sided cutting blades and extended reach trimmers. The double-sided blades work well when speed is a priority. A single-sided blade is best for precision cuts and shaping hedges. For taller, hard-to-reach hedges, extended reach trimmers mean no more ladder-climbing.
All RedMax hedge trimmers have case-hardened, high-carbon steel cutting blades to reduce the need for sharpening and ensure a clean cut each time you use them. Caged-steel needle bearings to support the blade-connecting rods provide extra stability and extend the life of the trimmer.
Most of these hedge trimmer models are powered by RedMax’s clean-combustion Strato-Charged engines. These engines dramatically reduce emissions without compromising power.
Double-sided Models
For fast cutting and reliable performance, the double-sided hedge trimmers are a great choice. They’re the most commonly used type of hedge-trimmers, especially among homeowners.
The RedMax CHT220 Hedge Trimmer is a homeowner model with an 18-inch double-sided blade. It is compact for quick, precise cutting. The rear handle can be adjusted to three positions so it is more easily adaptable to a wide variety of cutting tasks. You can also get the CHT220L model, which is very similar but has a longer 23-inch cutting blade.
RedMax also offers a couple of hedge trimmers with blade guards. The 24-inch RedMax CHTZ600 and 30-inch RedMax CHTZ750R both come equipped with tip guards and an open blade guard to help protect the trimmer from damage. These trimmers offer the same sort of cutting power as the CHT220.
Designed for professional use, the more powerful RedMax CHTZ2460 Hedge Trimmer has a 24-inch double-sided steel blade. As with their other trimmers, there is an anti-vibration system on the rear handle to reduce operator fatigue. This trimmer has a 23.6 cc 2-stroke Strato-Charged engine with ultra-low emissions and a power output of 1.14 horsepower. It’s a durable, high-performance trimmer that’s great for commercial use. For a longer blade, get the 30-inch CHTZ2460L model.
You can also opt for a battery-powered model. The RedMax BHT250PD60 is a lightweight hedge trimmer with a 24-inch blade that runs quietly and with no engine exhaust. It’s perfect for homeowners, professional landscapers, and contractors who want to cut back on emissions and work with a quiet, reliable hedge trimmer.
Single-sided Models
The double-sided blades are good for fast cutting, but RedMax hedge trimmers with a single-sided blade are best for more precise trim work. They’re the sort of thing you can use for sculpting hedges. Of course, you can also use them for regular hedge trimming as well if you like.
The RedMax HTZ2460 Hedge Trimmer has a 30-inch single-sided cutting blade. A guard and extra handle are mounted on one side of the cutting blade to make it easier to control. This trimmer also includes an anti-vibration system. It’s perfect for precision trimming. The lightweight design makes it easier to use, especially if you’re working with it for a long work shift.
The HTZ2460L is another single-sided hedge trimmer that’s very similar to the HTZ2460. It has a 40-inch cutting blade. The longer blade makes this trimmer heavier, but the benefits of the extra reach can make up for that depending on how you plan to use the trimmer.
Extended Reach Models
Extended reach trimmers allow access to tall hedges without the use of a ladder. The trimmers that let you adjust the cut angle make it easy to trim the tops as well as the sides of tall hedges. They can also be used to trim the undersides of hedges, as well as weeds growing under them in hard-to-reach places.
The Redmax SRTZ260F is the most powerful of the extended reach trimmers and it has a 25-inch blade. Balance is important, especially in an extended reach trimmer like this, and RedMax hedge trimmer has carefully balanced the power-to-weight ratio and included an anti-vibration system to make this trimmer easy to use.
The SRTZ230 Extended Reach Hedge Trimmer and LRTZ230 Extended Reach Hedge Trimmer both feature 19-inch cutting blades, and both let you adjust the cut angle. Like other RedMax hedge trimmers, they’re powerful, reliable, and well-balanced to deliver top-quality hedge trimming.
