The Best Gas Hedge Trimmer for Lawns and Gardens

This aptly named hedge trimmer lives up to its name with its large engine and industry-leading blade length. It boasts a 26cc engine and 24-inch cutting blade, giving it the ability to tackle large shrubbery and thicker branches more efficiently than models with smaller engines. Even with a longer edge that requires more power, this hedge trimmer's engine still has enough oomph to cut limbs up to 1 inch in diameter. A double-sided blade allows for cutting in both directions, adding speed and convenience to its cutting ability.

Despite its large size, this hedge trimmer weighs just 13 pounds. A large wraparound handle makes wielding this monster manageable, while an easy-start system prevents having to make numerous pulls to get the trimmer up and running. XtremepowerUS also uses its low-noise technology on the engine, which makes for a quieter trimmer.
