Best Ryobi 40v 24 in Cordless Battery Hedge Trimmer

As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases. Details

Buying a cordless battery hedge trimmer is mostly a question of which battery you already own and whether the box includes one. Four of the six trimmers below are tool-only or may be sold without a battery, and all four of those are made to fit DeWalt 20V batteries. Only two clearly come with batteries. This guide sorts them by what is in the box, then by blade length and weight.

Quick answer

If you already own DeWalt 20V MAX batteries, the 20-inch trimmer (first listing) and the 22-inch dual-action trimmer (second listing) are bare-tool options, and the HEINPRO 22-inch (fourth listing) is another tool-only choice at 4.4 pounds. If you have no battery system, the BLACK+DECKER 20V MAX with a 22-inch blade says battery and charger are included in its title, and the SEESII lists two 4.0Ah batteries in its title. The sixth listing is a grass shear and hedge trimmer combination, so treat it as a different kind of tool. Always confirm the box contents on the current listing.

Buying checklist

• Decide whether you own a battery and charger. If not, choose a listing that names them in the title.
• Match the battery platform. Four of these six are made for DeWalt 20V MAX packs.
• Compare blade length and cutting capacity, such as 2/3 inch or 3/4 inch where stated.
• Check weight, and ask whether it includes the battery.
• Use real dimensions for storage. Two listings give sizes that look wrong.
• Read the box contents line on the product page before ordering.

FAQ

Which of these trimmers include a battery?

The BLACK+DECKER title says battery and charger are included, and the SEESII title lists two 4.0Ah batteries. The others are tool-only or may be sold without a battery, so confirm on the page.

Can I use DeWalt 20V batteries on all of them?

No. The 20-inch, 22-inch dual-action, HEINPRO and grass shear listings are made for DeWalt 20V MAX packs. The BLACK+DECKER and SEESII use their own batteries.

Which one is lightest?

The HEINPRO tool-only trimmer lists 4.4 pounds, which is the lowest here. The weight may not include a battery, so compare with care.

Are the listed dimensions reliable?

Not always. The SEESII lists 8 x 4 x 15 inches and the grass shear lists 1 x 1 x 1 inch, neither of which looks like tool length. Check storage space on the product page.

What cutting capacity can I expect?

Where stated, the capacities are 2/3 inch for the 20-inch DeWalt-compatible trimmer and 3/4 inch for the BLACK+DECKER and SEESII. The others do not state one.

Closing note

Pick by battery first. If you already own DeWalt 20V MAX packs, the tool-only models let you reuse them. If you do not, the BLACK+DECKER or SEESII is the simpler start.
