OGERY Hedge Trimmers

A cordless 21V OGERY 2-in-1 hedge trimmer and grass shear kit with dual batteries. A yard maintenance tool from the same outdoor brand. Runtime and blade sizes for OGERY's yard tools are summed up in our OGERY review.

Who it's for

Homeowners trimming shrubs, low hedges and lawn edges.

What you'll find

• Hedge head: An 8.9-inch blade for shaping shrubs and low hedges.
• Grass head: A 5.1-inch trimmer for lawn edges, borders and the strips a mower can't reach.
• Cutting angle: The head adjusts from 0 to 45°, which helps on flat tops, sloped sides and awkward corners.
• Runtime: Two 21V 1500mAh batteries, rated for up to 80 minutes of hedge work or up to 160 minutes of grass trimming.
• Safety: A dual-start switch needs two controls pressed together, so the blade won't start while you handle it or change heads.
• Weight: About 2 lbs with an ergonomic handle, light enough for one hand.
• Cutting power: Branches up to 10mm thick at up to 2000 RPM.

How to choose

Match the tool to the plants before you buy. A light 2-in-1 suits shrubs, borders and lawn edges rather than tall, woody privacy hedges: the 2-in-1 Hedge & Grass Shears cut branches up to 10mm thick at up to 2000 RPM, and thicker wood can jam the blade. At 2 lbs with an ergonomic handle, it can be run one-handed, which suits gardeners who find a long two-handed trimmer tiring. If most of your yard work is edging, the grass head and its longer runtime will carry the job. Before a big weekend, charge both batteries and swap them instead of waiting on a recharge. Trim on a dry day, work from the bottom of a hedge upward, and keep the blade moving rather than forcing it into thick wood. Switch to the grass head for the strip along paths and fences after the hedge is done. Afterwards, let the blade stop completely, brush off clippings and store the trimmer with its batteries out.
