Best Battery Powered Grass Shears

As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases.

The person typing “best battery powered grass shears” wants a handheld cordless tool that trims grass edges and light shrubs with no cord and no gas engine. The short answer is to buy a model whose listing includes the battery and charger if you do not already own one for that platform, and to match the blade size to the job. This roundup covers nine cordless grass shears and shear-shrubber kits. Every spec below comes from the listing text we have, and each gap is named rather than filled in from memory.

Quick answer

Want the battery and charger in the box? The CRAFTSMAN V20 kit and the Greenworks 24V shear shrubber both list a battery and charger as included. The Sun Joe HJ604C names a wall charger in the box, but its battery is not on the included list.
Already own a battery for that platform? The WORX WG801.9 and the Ryobi P2900B both say the battery and charger are not included, so they suit people who already have that system.
Want a grass blade and a shrub blade on one handle? Most of the nine offer both, including the WORX (4 in. grass, 8 in. shrubber) and the Sun Joe (4 in. grass shear, 6 in. hedge trimmer).
Check the cut limit first. The stated limits run from 0.3 in. (CRAFTZONE) to half an inch (Greenworks), so thicker wood belongs to a pruner or a saw.

Spec comparison

The table shows only what each listing states. “Not stated” means the text we read is silent on that point. Where a listing gives two weights, both figures appear, and we do not pick one.

Sun Joe HJ604C	7.2V	4 in. / 6 in.	0.3 in. cutting width (product details)	Wall charger in the box; battery not on the included list	2.5 lb (bullet)

Product sections

Each section below gives the listing’s own description, the stated specs, and the one case where the product is the wrong pick. The order follows battery voltage, lowest first.

Sun Joe HJ604C 2-in-1 Cordless 7.2V Handheld Grass Shear

The Sun Joe is the only product in this set whose listing gives a runtime figure. Its bullet says the battery provides 30 to 60 minutes per charge. The listing says a wall charger and both blades are in the box, and that the blades swap with a one-touch exchange between a 4 in. grass shear and a 6 in. hedge trimmer blade. The included-components line does not list the battery, so confirm that before you buy.

Battery: 7.2V rechargeable lithium-ion (the item highlight also says 1.5Ah)
Blades: 4 in. grass shear, 6 in. hedge trimmer
Speed: 1250 RPM
Cutting width: 0.3 in. (product details)
Weight: 2.5 lb (bullet); 1.13 kg (product details)
Warranty: 2 years (product details)

Skip if you need a grass blade wider than 4 in. The listing names no wider grass blade.

WORKPRO 7.2V Cordless Grass Shear and Shrubbery Trimmer

The WORKPRO listing describes a 5.9 in. shrub trimmer and a 4.2 in. grass shear, powered by a 2.0Ah rechargeable lithium-ion battery with a Type-C cable. The bullets say the battery can be charged from a phone charger rated 5V/2A, a laptop or a car USB port. Its weight is the clearest conflict in this set: the bullet says 0.82 lbs and the product details say 2.2 pounds. We show both figures and leave the choice to you.

Battery: 2.0Ah rechargeable lithium-ion; Type-C cable
Blades: 5.9 in. shrub trimmer, 4.2 in. grass shear (title)
Speed: 1100 rpm (product details)
Weight: 0.82 lb (bullet); 2.2 pounds (product details)

Skip if you want to reuse a battery you already own. The listing names only its own 2.0Ah battery and a Type-C cable.

SnapFresh 7.2V Cordless Grass Shear Bush Trimmer

The SnapFresh title says a battery and charger are included. The bullets describe a 5.5 in. hedge trimmer blade and a 3.25 in. grass shear blade, a 1500mAh rechargeable battery with a battery level indicator, and a 0.31 in. cutting diameter for branches. The bullets also give a 1100 RPM motor and a dual safety lock. Like the WORKPRO, this listing gives two weights: 1.05 lbs in a bullet and 1.7 pounds in the product details.

Battery: 1500mAh rechargeable lithium battery (bullet); battery and charger included (title)
Cutting diameter: 0.31 in. (8 mm), per the bullet
Speed: 1100 RPM
Weight: 1.05 lbs (bullet); 1.7 pounds (product details)

Skip if your branches are thicker than 0.31 in. The listing says branches above that diameter may cause blade detachment, which makes this a light-duty pick.

CRAFTZONE 8V Cordless Grass Shear and Shrub Trimmer

The CRAFTZONE listing gives a 5.5 in. hedge blade and a 3.25 in. grass shear blade. The item highlight lists a 2000mAh built-in battery and a USB-C cable included. The bullets say the motor runs at 1000 RPM and cuts through branches and bushes up to 0.3 inches thick. The listing also says the trimmer can charge from a phone charger, a laptop, a car outlet or a power bank.

Battery: 2000mAh built-in (item highlight); USB-C cable included
Blades: 5.5 in. hedge, 3.25 in. grass shear
Speed: 1000 RPM
Cut limit: up to 0.3 in. branches (bullet)
Weight: 1.74 lb (bullet); 1.7 pounds (product details)

Skip if you want a battery you can swap out. The listing describes a built-in battery and says nothing about replacement packs.

WORX WG801.9 20V Cordless Grass Shear and Shrub Trimmer

The WORX listing describes a 20V PowerShare grass shear and shrubber with a 4 in. grass blade and an 8 in. shrubbery blade. The listing says the battery and charger are not included. It also says the same battery powers tools across the PowerShare family, but it does not name which battery model to buy. The bullets mention an optional pole extension, and the product details list a weight of 1.3 pounds.

Battery: 20V PowerShare family; battery and charger NOT included
Blades: 4 in. grass shear, 8 in. shrubber
Speed: 1100 rpm (product details)
Weight: 1.3 pounds (product details)

Skip if you do not already own a 20V PowerShare battery and charger, because the listing includes neither.

CRAFTSMAN V20 Cordless Grass Trimmer and Mini Hedge Trimmer Kit

The CRAFTSMAN listing itemizes more parts than any other product in this set: the CMCSS800 shrubber, a V20 1.5Ah battery, a V20 charger, a hedge trimmer blade and a grass shear blade. It carries a 3 Year Limited Warranty. The bullets say the 8 in. blade trims shrubs and the 4 in. blade handles fescues and garden bed cleanup, and they state cuts up to 5/16 inch deep with the hedge clippers.

Battery: V20 CMCB2015 1.5 Ah, included
Blades: 8 in. shrub blade, 4 in. grass shear blade
Cut depth: up to 5/16 in. (bullet)
Warranty: 3 Year Limited Warranty
Weight: not stated

Skip if you need a grass blade wider than 4 in. The listing names none, and it gives no weight to help you judge handling.

BLACK+DECKER 20V MAX POWERCONNECT 3/8 in. Cordless Shear Shrubber Kit

The BLACK+DECKER kit, model BCSS820C1, lists a 3/8 in. cut capacity and blades of 4 in. and 8 in. that change without tools between hedge and shear uses. The kit includes one shear shrubber and one 20V MAX POWERCONNECT 1.5Ah battery. The listing does not name a charger, and the text we read gives no weight or warranty. The bullets describe the battery as one that can run multiple POWERCONNECT tools, without naming them.

Battery: 20V MAX POWERCONNECT 1.5Ah, one included
Cut capacity: 3/8 in.
Blades: 4 in. and 8 in., hedge and shear
Charger: not stated
Weight and warranty: not stated

Skip if you need a charger in the box. The listing does not name one.

Ryobi P2900B ONE+ 18-Volt Cordless Grass Shear and Shrubber

The Ryobi listing is titled as a cordless grass shear and shrubber on the ONE+ 18-Volt platform. The listing states “Battery & Charger NOT Included”, so the tool needs a battery and charger you already own. The product details give an 8 in. blade length and a weight of 3.2 pounds. The text we read gives no cut capacity, speed or runtime.

Battery: not included (listing)
Voltage: 18 volts
Blade: 8 in.
Weight: 3.2 pounds (product details)

Skip if you do not already own a ONE+ 18-Volt battery. The listing does not include one.

Greenworks 24V Shear Shrubber, 1.5 Ah USB Battery and Charger

The Greenworks title says the kit includes a 1.5 Ah USB battery and a charger. The listing describes a 6 in. grass shear blade and an 8.5 in. shrubber blade that switch with a tool-less change, and it gives a cutting rate of up to 2,500 SPM. Its summary says the dual-action blades cut thick branches up to half an inch. The bullet describes the battery’s USB port as a 9,000 mAh power bank for phones and tablets.

Battery: 24V lithium-ion, 1.5 Ah; battery and charger listed as included (title)
Blades: 6 in. grass shear, 8.5 in. shrubber
Cutting rate: up to 2,500 SPM
Cut limit: up to half an inch (summary)
Weight and warranty: not stated

Skip if you need a grass blade wider than 6 in. or a shrubber blade wider than 8.5 in. The listing gives neither.

Buying checklist

Check the battery and charger first. Three listings name both (CRAFTSMAN, Greenworks and SnapFresh), and two say neither is included (WORX and Ryobi).
Compare the blade pair: the grass blades here range from 3.25 in. to 6 in., while the shrub or hedge blades range from 4 in. (BLACK+DECKER) to 8.5 in. (Greenworks).
Read the cut limit before you buy. The stated limits range from 0.3 in. to half an inch.
When a listing gives two weights, check which one applies to the model you are buying.
If you need reach above the shrubs, compare with our cordless hedge trimmer with extension pole roundup.

Mistakes to avoid

Buying a tool-only model without a battery. The WORX and Ryobi listings both say the battery and charger are not included.
Taking one weight at face value. The WORKPRO and SnapFresh listings each give two different weights.
Expecting a wide grass blade. The grass blades in this set run from 3.25 in. (CRAFTZONE and SnapFresh) to 6 in. (Greenworks).
Cutting branches past the stated limit. The limits run from 0.3 in. (CRAFTZONE) to half an inch (Greenworks), and the BLACK+DECKER figure is 3/8 in.

How we chose

The keyword search returned a mix of grass shears, hedge trimmers, electric pruning shears and third-party tools that name another brand’s battery. The criteria for the nine products we kept were simple: a handheld cordless grass shear or a grass-shear-and-shrub kit, a named battery platform or battery, and a listing whose text we had. We left out hedge-only trimmers, electric pruning shears (which are branch cutters), and third-party tools that name another brand’s battery. We did not rank the nine by price, sales or ratings, and we make no ranking claim.

Nine listings were used. Seven descriptions come from listing text extracted earlier, between 2026-10-11 and 2026-10-14, and were reused rather than re-read. Two listings, Greenworks and BLACK+DECKER, were read on 2026-10-22. The sources list at the end gives the date for each one. If you want the hedge side of the same tools, our cordless grass shear and hedge trimmer roundup covers the overlap.

What we could not verify

Runtime. Only the Sun Joe listing gives a runtime figure, 30 to 60 minutes per charge, in its bullet. The other listings give battery size, not minutes of work.
Cutting results. The listings give blade sizes, motor speeds and cut limits, but no performance results for grass or shrubs.
Durability. Nothing in the text we read covers blade life, housing strength or replacement parts.
Weight for three products. The CRAFTSMAN, BLACK+DECKER and Greenworks listings give no weight in the text we read.
Warranty for most products. The text names a warranty only for the Sun Joe (2 years) and the CRAFTSMAN (3 Year Limited Warranty).

What the sources do not say

Which PowerShare battery model the WORX needs. The listing says the family is shared and does not name a model.
Whether a battery from another brand fits any tool in this set. The text we read does not say, so we do not claim it.
Why the WORKPRO and SnapFresh listings give two different weights.
Which ONE+ 18-Volt battery the Ryobi needs. The listing names the platform but no battery model.
How long a charge lasts for any product except the Sun Joe.

FAQ

Are battery grass shears the same as hedge trimmers?

Not quite. A grass shear uses a short blade for edges and tufts, and most listings in this set are two-in-one tools that also carry a shrub or hedge blade. Each listing names its blades, so check the blade size for the job you have.

Which models include a battery and a charger?

The CRAFTSMAN V20 kit and the Greenworks 24V shear shrubber list both. The SnapFresh title says the same. The Sun Joe lists a wall charger in its box, and the BLACK+DECKER kit lists a battery with no charger named. The WORX and Ryobi listings say neither is included. For a hedge-trimmer battery pairing, see our Black and Decker hedge trimmer battery and charger guide.

Can I use a battery from another brand?

The listings do not show that. Several name their own platform: PowerShare for WORX, ONE+ for Ryobi, 24V for Greenworks and POWERCONNECT for BLACK+DECKER. The text we read does not say whether any other battery fits a tool in this set, so confirm with the maker or seller before you buy.

How long does a charge last?

Only the Sun Joe listing gives a number: its bullet says 30 to 60 minutes of runtime per charge. The other listings give battery capacity, such as 2000mAh or 1.5 Ah, but not the minutes of work a charge provides.

Which blade length should I choose?

Grass blades in this set run from 3.25 in. to 6 in., and shrub or hedge blades run from 4 in. to 8.5 in. The Greenworks listing says its 6 in. grass shear suits small to medium gardens, walkways and posts. The listings do not say which size is best for your lawn, so match the blade to the spaces you trim.

What is the thickest branch these shears can cut?

The stated limits differ. SnapFresh says 0.31 in., and CRAFTZONE says up to 0.3 in. The BLACK+DECKER listing gives a 3/8 in. cut capacity, CRAFTSMAN gives 5/16 in. deep cuts, and Greenworks says up to half an inch. Use the figure on the listing you are buying, and do not assume the tool cuts past it.

Bottom line

If you do not already own the battery, buy a model whose listing includes both a battery and a charger; buy a tool-only model only when you already own its battery and charger.
