          The extension feature is great!
          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The first in our 40V Ryobi outdoor power tools - stepping up from 18V. We needed more power and torque to handle numerous hedges and hedgerows. Year around growing season here requires frequent trimming. Our longest hedgerow is staggered between 6 and 9 feet tall. The extension pole has been very helpful - makes ladder work minimal. The higher voltage allows more battery run time. If you are strong enough to handle the 4ah battery vs 2ah, you'll get even longer use. It all requires some strength to handle when you're using the full extension. I'm a petite but strong female and am able to manage it. The positives are the extension capabilities, and the more powerful, longer battery capacity. The reason I rated 4 rather than 5 stars is the handle and grip area. A hedge trimmer is typically used for a fairly long period of time - versus like cutting a board with a power tool taking only minutes or seconds. You have to hold the power buttons/handles down while gripping hard with both hands to maneuver and hold the hedge trimmer. There is no padding or rubberized area on the power buttons or hand holding area. I had to find some rubberized padded gloves to keep it from being slippery and provide padding under my thumb pad on the hand holding the power levers. I've given our hedges two full trimmings with this new trimmer so have gotten to really test it out well. My wish list would be the improved grip area, and also wish it had a slightly wider branch capacity. Viburnum's grow fast, and even new growth branches struggle to fit. I realize this is a battery tool, but it's a wish for the future as improvements are made. We have no intention of going with gas powered tools, so I'm grateful for how well the battery tools work. All in all we're happy with it and it's our go-to trimmer for main hedge trimming.

            Much better than I thought it would be.
            I have a Ryobi 22" hedge trimmer, but my 12' high hedge is now so wide I can't reach across. This 18" isn't as hefty, but with one of the extenders I can easily reach across, saving me a ton of ladder climbing and more. It'll also be perfect for other large shrubs that we just can't reach across or to the top. My only concern was the delivery. It came quickly. However, the delivery driver didn't leave it by our house door ... he left it by our garage door. Waiting to be stolen.

              Didn’t fit together and extension is pointless
              I bought this having loved all my other Ryobi products. But first issue was the poles don’t seem to fit together all the way. I spend 20 minutes trying all ways, reading the instructions, watching YouTube videos trying to figure how to get them together all the way. No luck. However, with the screw connectors I was able to make connection enough to raise the product up. It is way to heavy even without the extension. So disappointed. Hard pass. Do not buy.

                Excellent tool. I cleared a patch of Poison Oak that had grown wildly along a drainage canal bank and even up into several Oak trees that line the banks of the canal. The added length of the pole was a great advantage to avoid contact with the Poison Oak. I even added the 2nd extension from my pole chainsaw to the Pole Hedge Trimmer to get at the growth up in the Oak trees without using a ladder!

                Powerful Pole Hedge Trimmer
                [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this to trim brush and trees that run along a 1/4 mile long driveway to our lake property. This 40V Pole Hedge Trimmer makes easy work of trimming back the brush and low hanging branches, and is a perfect complement to a pole chainsaw for tree trimming work.

                  Pros over gas
                  [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Chose this over gas since I needed to haul it up a tree. It's not constantly running while you move around and it's Lighter and no spills. Was still strong enough to cut stems and small branches

                    Poor wiring
                    Second time trimmer has ceased to work. Opened it up to find wires crimped repeatedly around spring. This occurs when head is adjusted. Poor design and virtually impossible to service. Have 9 other ryobi products and not one issue.

                    Hello, Jimk - It's unfortunate that your hedge trimmer has stopped working! That isn't the experience we want for our customers, and we'd like to turn this around. Would you please send us an email at Reviews@RYOBItools.com? RYOBIOutdoorTools

                      Impossible trigger pressure!
                      Many have stated the machine is hard to use,(esp trigger pessure/weight). I'm a big, dude. I'm a mechanical engineer and an auto mechanic with big strong hands. The force needed to hold the trigger is a deal breaker! I can handle the weight, but I can only hold the trigger down for several minutes at a time before my fingers get sore. Ryobi, Please give us more than your standard "canned" response! You should fix this with a longer lever. Easy Fix,see pic! (My fix: JB weld aluminum extension)

                        Already paid for itself!
                        I've used this twice to trim a 150' long and 7' tall hedge and 3 very tall (13') bushes along with numerous azalia bushes. I was paying a yardman about $150 about twice a year to trim all these. I wear out way before the battery needs a recharge.
