Workpro 7.2V Cordless Grass Shear Shrubbery Trimmer Review

As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases. Details

The workpro 7.2v cordless grass shear shrubbery trimmer review looks at a small battery-powered trimmer for edges, low shrubs and tight corners. The listing describes a 7.2V cordless tool with a 5.5-inch shrub trimmer blade, a 3.5-inch grass shear blade and a rechargeable 2.0Ah battery. This page explains what the listing states, where its fields disagree, and which yard jobs the tool suits. Use it as a checklist before you order, and treat the run time and charge time as the manufacturer’s claims rather than guarantees.

Quick answer

Buy this trimmer if you have small trimming jobs on edges, low hedges and tight spots, and you want a light battery tool with a USB Type-C charging cable. The listing states blade sizes of 5.5 inches and 3.5 inches, approximately 45-60 minutes of run time per full charge as a manufacturer claim, and a 1 Year manufacturer warranty. It is not a fit for large areas. Before ordering, confirm the power source, because one listing field names both battery and corded electric, and confirm the box contents, because the listing does not describe a separate charger block.

Best for and avoid if

Best for

Homeowners with small edges, low shrubs and tight corners who want a light rechargeable trimmer with a one-year warranty. The listing says the handle adjusts 180 degrees, which helps when you trim either side of a hedge.

Avoid if

Your yard needs long trimming sessions, because the listing gives a recharge time of approximately 2.5-3.5 hours. Skip it for thick branches, since the listing names branches among its uses but gives no branch diameter. Skip it for long hedge runs or large lawns, and skip it if you need the battery and charger package confirmed in writing before you buy.

• Charge time: approximately 2.5-3.5 hours for a full charge.

Power source and box contents

Two fields need attention before you order. The power source field reads Battery Powered, Corded Electric, while the bullets describe a rechargeable battery and a USB Type-C cable. Rely on neither field alone, and confirm the power option with the seller or manufacturer.

The listing states that a USB Type-C cable is included. It does not describe a separate charger block, so check the box contents on the listing before you buy.

The listing names no other brand’s battery as compatible, and it gives no battery platform details. Battery platform compatibility comes from the manufacturer, so do not assume a fit with batteries from other brands.

Charging, blade and safety notes

The listing describes a rechargeable battery that takes approximately 2.5-3.5 hours to fully charge. Charge it as the manual directs. Battery chargers store energy by sending current into the battery, and the right method depends on the battery’s size and type. Some battery types cannot withstand overcharging and can be damaged, lose capacity or overheat.

The listing says blade replacement needs no tools. Before any blade work, disconnect or remove the battery, and follow the manual’s blade steps. A child safety lock with a security key is a listed feature, but it is not a substitute for those steps.

Electric trimmers are generally lighter and less powerful than gasoline versions, and they still need a cord unless they run on rechargeable batteries. Powered hedge trimmers are also generally designed with safety devices that limit operation. The listing describes a child safety lock and security key rather than a two-hand control, so read the manual before use.

This page does not offer battery repair advice. If the trimmer or battery will not charge, follow the manufacturer’s service route.

Strengths and limitations

Strengths

• Light weight at 1.1 lbs, with a 180 degree adjustable handle.
• Two blade types, a 5.5-inch shrub trimmer and a 3.5-inch grass shear, in one tool.
• A USB Type-C cable is listed as included.
• Tool-less blade replacement and a child safety lock with a security key.
• A 1 Year manufacturer warranty.

Limitations

• The power source field conflicts with the bullets, so the power option needs confirming.
• The run time of 45-60 minutes is a manufacturer claim, and real run time varies with grass, height and terrain.
• A full recharge takes approximately 2.5-3.5 hours, so the tool suits short sessions.
• The blades are 5.5 inches and 3.5 inches, which points to small-area work.
• The listing names branches as a use but gives no diameter figure.

Alternatives to consider

If the run time, power option or blade size does not fit your yard, compare the guides below. Each covers a different tool type or a longer-reach option.

Worked example: weekly trimming time

• Step 1: 15 x 4 = 60 minutes of trimming per week.
• Step 2: The listing’s run time claim is approximately 45-60 minutes per full charge, so 60 minutes sits at the top of that claim.
• Result: a busy week may need a second charge. Real run time varies with grass, height and terrain, so start from a shorter figure.

FAQ

Will this trimmer cut thick branches?

The listing names branches among its uses but does not state a branch diameter. Use the trimmer for light pruning, and check the listing for any size figure before you rely on it.

How long does one charge last?

The listing claims approximately 45-60 minutes of run time per full charge. Real run time varies with grass, height and terrain, so it may be shorter in thick growth.

How long does charging take?

The listing states approximately 2.5-3.5 hours for a full charge. Charge the battery as the manual directs, because some battery types can be damaged by overcharging.

Is the child safety lock enough for blade work?

No. The listing describes a child safety lock with a security key and says the key must be inserted before use. Disconnect or remove the battery before any blade change, and follow the manual’s steps.

Does it come with a charger?

The listing states a USB Type-C cable is included. It does not describe a separate charger block, so check the box contents before you order.

What does the adjustable handle do?

The listing says the handle adjusts 180 degrees, so you can trim either side of a hedge from the same grip position.

Why do the power source fields disagree?

Confirm the power option with the seller or manufacturer before you order.

Bottom line

Choose this trimmer if you have small trimming jobs, want a light battery tool with a USB Type-C cable, and can work within the listing’s 45-60 minute run time claim. Skip it for large areas, thick branches, or any purchase where the power option and box contents are not confirmed. Decision rule: if one charge covers your typical job and the listing confirms the package you want, it is worth buying. If not, start with the alternatives above.
