Hedge-Hog? Boy did I get ripped off. I thought I was buying a pig for a Bar-B-Q.
Have not used it yet, to hot in Phoenix in July/Aug.
Its a few cents less at Home Depot but I did save tax. I will have to do a better job of checking prices locally next time incase of an easier return. Nothing like Costco for a return if you can find the item their.

I bought the Hedge Hog for my dad last Christmas, and he loved it even more than I was expecting him to. He has told me how well it works, and how much he enjoys using it. He has quite a bit of landscaping to do with many bushes in the yard, and they have never looked better now that he has the Hedge Hog.

I’ve used Black & Decker hedge trimmers for decades and always felt they were well built, economically priced and performed well. However I am fairly disappointed with this HedgeHog model. While it trims thicker branches (1/8″+) nicely, the blade does not seem to be designed for the fine feather and needle covering of a typical evergreen hedge. I found that the blade was fairly slow in cutting this material and rather than a nice crisp cut, it tended to ‘yank’ the needles off and leave a short length of fine white fiber behind. Almost seems as though the blade is dull, but in this case it’s a new unit.
I have discussed this trimmer in more detail with a professional who agreed that it is not really designed for cutting the fine material on yews, etc. He said the gap between the teeth allows for cutting larger branches more efficiently but reduces the sharpness of cut for finer material. He said that B&D makes trimmers with tighter tooth configurations which seem to work much better on the fine stuff. That makes sense to me, although I think B&D should be a little more clear in how they describe the Hedge Hog, it’s really more of a small-brush cutter rather than a hedge trimmer. It also works well for cutting back hydrangeas, etc. that have twig-like growth.

Waited too long to buy this. Saves hours of hand trimming. Does a great job with lots of power. Electric is good way to go.
Cuts branches about half inch thick but should probably stick to smaller ones. All in all a great tool.

Good trimmer for the money. Like the pigtale plug in, cord does not come out, like the long blade, a bit heavey. Doesn’t seem to have a lock on the trigger, so you have to use two hands which can limit you when you need to make a cut while reaching.
