Why We Love This Deal

There are plenty of tools to choose from on Amazon, but the biggest incentive for buying here versus the hardware store is finding name-brand tools at affordable prices. We see this commonly with DeWalt tools, sometimes with Craftsman, and others, but there's a deal right now from Black+Decker that can't be ignored by those with an overgrown yard.

Right now, the Black+Decker 20-Inch Electric Hedge Trimmer is on sale for only $48, which is nearly 40% off the original $79 price tag. This item boasts over 1,000 five-star ratings on Amazon and has been purchased over 700 times in the past month alone.

What Shoppers Should Know

  • Product Dimensions: 33.8 inches long, 7.5 inches wide, and 33.8 inches tall
  • Weight: 5.5 pounds
  • Blade Length: 20 inches
  • Power Supply: Corded

Yardwork with electric power tools is not only quieter, but it’s also just easier. Such is the case for this hedge trimmer, which has a 3.8-ampere motor and enough power to trim branches up to 0.75 inches in size. The 20-inch, alloy steel blade makes quick work of most hedges and is perfect for a summer backyard cleanup. Beyond that, there's an included saw attachment on the nose of the blade, and that'll cut through branches up to 1.5 inches in diameter. Of course, this tool will serve you well in any season and might be worth shopping for now, as we’ve seen the price go up in the fall before.

Just note that this trimmer is corded and doesn’t have a limitless range. For taller hedges beyond 5 to 6 feet, a pole trimmer may be better (but pricier). If you don’t have huge shrubbery to take care of, though, invest in this Black+Decker tool while it’s still under $50.

What Shoppers Are Saying

Tending to your outdoor space has never been easier than with this powerful hedge trimmer. “Just received this today and went crazy trimming our hedges—my yard looks gorgeous,” one shopper began. “Two things stood out: the reach because of the length of the overall blade, and the ability that it has to cut through inch-long branches. I love the results.”

Another shopper said the efficiency of this Black+Decker creation sold them. “Very nice trimmer for the homeowner trying to keep hedges trimmed without spending hours,” they said. “The teeth will cut through most branches, and a couple of hours of trimming takes about 10 minutes.”

The Black+Decker Hedge Trimmer is nearly 50% off on Amazon. Add it to your cart ASAP before the summer savings fade away.
