Toro Flex-Force 24 in. 60-Volt Max Lithium-Ion Cordless Hedge Trimmer (Bare-Tool)

This hedge trimmer is a beast. Heavy with big 60 volt battery inserted. If you have back or arm issues, this may not be the tool for you, due to it’s size and weight. Once you get used to the weight, you’ll find it’s ergonomically designed very well. Handles and grips are right where I’d want them to be. You can rotate the handle either right or left, with the push of the blue button on the top of the handle. You’ll see this feature in the pictures. Made with safety in mind. You are forced to use both hands to turn it on. You have to push in the left or right side button, then the hold the back handle trigger and the front auxiliary handle trigger to operate. Either hand comes off, it stops quickly. Fairly simple once you’ve done it a few times. The battery connects and disconnects from the trimmer easily. The charger is sturdy and free standing, or can be mounted on a wall. It’s winter so I had little to test it on, but did test it quickly on a Photinia, and it sliced thru it like butter. I gave it 3 bars for “Ease of use” as this is such a big tool, not everyone will be able to use it.

I bought this tool a few weeks ago and use it around the house. It is easy enough to use and does a great job cutting branches up to 3/4″ in diameter (it does take more time). Makes quick work of normal growth on bushes. The tool doesn’t feel too heavy and is pretty easy to maneuver around when trimming. I rated it 4 stars because of how the switches for turning on the tool work. There are two switches on either side of the handle where you squeeze the trigger that have to be pushed along with the switch on the grab bar. If there was a way to lock the trigger switch down so all the user had to do was activate and deactivate the switch on the grab bar, it wouldn’t be so awkward. Over time I will probably get used to it. There is a blue button on top to rotate the handle for easier cutting angles (this is one feature I chose this model and brand over some others for).Battery life seems great so far. I am able to finish my whole job on half a battery (around 45 min of cutting)Overall a great trimmer and I would recommend it!

Better than expected. Since I purchased only used it once, but it was easy to use and light weight. Thanks very much Cevin

I love the battery Toro Hedge Trimmer I’m a 70 year old women and it makes my life so much easier no cords to pull no gas to buy and very easy to start lighter than I thought, it was a great price to.

Good long lasting battery to time ratio, strong as an Electric Model

Worked great on most branches, dry/dead ones were a struggle. Otherwise good.

The FLEX-FORCE 24 IN. 60-VOLT MAX LITHIUM-ION CORDLESS HEDGE TRIMMER – 2.5 AH BATTERY AND CHARGER INCLUDED is another high-quality product from TORO. At first I was a bit worried that with such a large battery, this hedge trimmer would be too heavy to maneuver easily. Wrong, it is very easy to hold and use for long period of time without fatigue to my arms. The battery is suppose to last up to 75 minutes, but with such sharpe blades I’ve been able to trim bushes much faster than with my old hedge trimmer. You can’t go wrong with Toro products, I’m very please with this line.

Did an super job on my boxwood’s. Much lighter than my old trimmer. Cut 13 boxwood’s and only use half the battery power.

Outstanding – The Toro Flex-Force cordless hedge trimmer is one powerful tool! When they say it has 3/4 inch cutting capacity they mean it. Fortunately there are some really well thought out safety features that make sure accidents are less likely to happen – like you have to have both hands on the tool in the right place for it to operate. I also found the hedge trimmer to be well balanced with the battery in place. We took on a large landscaping project last year and expect to have plenty of trimming to do as the season progresses. Just to put the Toro hedge trimmer through is paces, I went through a wild blueberry thicket with no issues. and then onto some white pine saplings. These things grow like weeds around here and they are a lot of work to keep after. The Toro cut through them like nobody’s business. I really like the way the head rotates on the handle so you can trim both vertically and horizontally without twisting into awkward positions. I already have some of the other Flex-Force tools and have bee very pleased with them as well and will be purchasing more as existing tools come up for replacement. The Flex-Force is a really good tool system and its a huge plus that the batteries are interchangeable from tool to tool.
