Tools and Hardware Reviews of Black & Decker HH2455 24" Hedge Hog Hedge Trimmer
Customer Review: AWESOME hedge trimmer
Summary: 5 Stars
This hedge trimmer is simply amazing. In fact, I actually stopped my work using it out in the yard right now so I could come inside and write a review about it - that's how great this product is.
This is one of the best yard tools I own. I don't know how it stacks up to other hedgers, but I can say I'm in love with this Black & Decker Hedge Hog. Not only is it very light and easy to use, but I'm constantly amazed how well it works. I've used it to tackle the limbs on a fallen oak tree (which was about 12 feet tall), as well as three trees from my side yard. The great thing about this hedger is that it makes short work of branches. It will chop through branches up to 1/4 inch like they aren't even there. Even 1/2 thick branches don't slow it down much. If you run into something larger - say 5/8 or even 3/4 of an inch, just hold it on the branch for a second and let it go to work. In no time at all, it will saw its way through some pretty large branches on a tree. It's darn near like a small chain saw! :-) It will even get through branches in green wood that are up to about 1" in diameter without really complaining.
The power of this hedger is amazing, like I say. And it's very light, so you can use it all day long without getting tired from holding it. The handle near the back also gives you a good angle for your hands and also allows you to extend it pretty far up into the trees without having to get a ladder, etc.
The hedger has a little spot to catch the extension cord, which is nice so that it doesn't come unplugged. I've used the one I bought quite a bit and so far it shows no signs of letting up. It just does the job and doesn't complain.
Hats off to the folks at Black & Deck for building a great product. In this day and age of junk being sold to consumers that is produced at the lowest possible cost in China or India, this Dedge Hog is a welcome breath of fresh air.
I can highly recommend model HH2450 - it's an outstanding hand tool that is a joy to use.
Customer Review: All a homeowner needs

This trimmer is very well balanced and powerful! It cut through my Ixora hedge like butter and allowed me to reshape my overgrown hedge line in a flash. The 24" blades make for a much quicker job than my previous 20". Unless you are really a long way from a power source this is really all a homeowner needs
Customer Review: Almost perfect.

I'm truly sorry I can't give five stars. The thing that drops it down is the ability of the blade arm to bend up or down accidentally. This is not critical but could cause problems. Plus if the arm is bent the blades cannot move freely, therefore overheating the motor and not being able to cut at its impressive best. Otherwise it works like a hot knife through butter. (Who said that?) One thing I've found helpful is when I'm trimming off the bottoms of my bushes if I just turn over the trimmer the bottom of the handle gives me just as good a grip with two hands as the top. Plus, I don't have as much trouble with triggering it to turn off accidentally when I had it locked on.Customer Review: Amazing Trimmer!

Needed to replace an old B & D trimmer which never really worked very good - so was looking for a different brand name. But, B & D seems to have most of the available trimmers on the market - so in a "leap-of-faith" I ordered this B & D model. WHAT A PLESENT SURPRISE!! It WORKS GREAT! The bushes look better then they ever did! So, go ahead and buy it - I am sure you will like it!Customer Review: Another good B & D tool
Summary: 5 Stars
A well built and sturdy piece of equipment. The longer cutting bar is a nice feature and makes trimming hedges easier. It cuts nicely and is easy to use. It's not very heavy so strain from continuous use is not a problem. All in all a worthy purchase at a good price and it was delivered promptly.
