However, the battery is integrated into the casing, so you must plug in the entire tool to charge it, and you won’t benefit from using the battery in other tools. While the 18V 2.0Ah battery has a relatively slow 210 minutes charge time, and a 40-minute run time, there’s a battery level indicator on the side of the trimmer so you can always see how much charge you have left. Featuring a double-sided blade with tip protection, it has a 50cm long, 8mm cutting capacity, which is the smallest of all the trimmers we tested. If safety is a consideration, this is the model for you thanks to the combination of a removable activation key and three switches to start it up.

The batteries and charger are part of the Worx PowerShare system so you’ll save money if you invest in further tools. It takes a relatively long time to charge – 230 minutes – and although the run time of just 20 minutes is very short it comes with two batteries, so if you’re organised and keep the second battery charged, you can get 40 minutes continuous use. A generous handle means it’s comfortable to use, and it has a 45cm long blade with a 16mm cutting capacity and tip protection. The hand-guard needs attaching on this trimmer, which is a bit of a faff and wasn’t necessary with all but two of the other trimmers we tested, we liked that it’s clear and you can see where you’re cutting. Ryobi ONE+ OHT1845 cordless hedge trimmer ![]() For storage, you can hang the trimmer up on a nail or hook via the hole on the end of the blade to keep it safe and out of the way. It comes with a large 5.0 Ah battery that takes just an hour to charge and provides 50 minutes of run time too – the only drawback with this trimmer is that it’s not available as a bare tool. The long overall length at 110 cm helps to keep the trimmer balanced and comfortable to use, and the swivelling handle makes vertical and diagonal cuts easy to manage. It features a generous 55 cm blade and the diamond ground teeth have a high cutting capacity of 25 mm.
