Review on CRAFTSMAN V20* Cordless Hedge Trimmer: Cut Branches Effortlessly With 22-Inch CMCHTS820D1! by Alexandra Griego

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works well on my review.

The trimmer works well and is easy to handle. The battery life is very good and exceeds my expectations.One negative: Initial assembly was a challenge for me. The unit requires assembling a guard and a handle. Both of these jobs are very simple except for the nonstandard screws provided. I have a couple of dozen screwdrivers but found the handle required a "star" shape screwdriver head, which I happened to have. I never found a screwdriver that worked with the guard screws. Finally used pliers to remove and replace the screws. I was surprised that Craftsman did not use a standard Phillips head screw. But since this is a one-time job it would not prevent me from purchasing the same item in the future.

Pros
  • Powerful and long with an appetite for tough brush. Battery life has been excellent.
Cons
  • The trigger requires excessive pressure to engage
