The variable speed trigger offers precise power control as well as performance and runtime management with the Hi/Lo speed control switch. At 7.9lbs without a battery, the 20V MAX* 14" String Trimmer offers bump feed and achieves 4600/6000 RPM for no-load speed and is durable even when used in thick brush.

It clears debris with an air volume of up to 450 cubic feet per minute and up to 125 miles per hour (with the concentrator nozzle). At only 5.43lbs without a battery, the blower features a lightweight design, giving users directional control. The variable speed trigger and speed lock give the user power control.

The 20V MAX* Pole Hedge Trimmer is designed to cut through a variety of landscape overgrowth. This pole hedge trimmer has a high output motor and 22 in. hardened steel laser-cut blades engineered for clean cuts on branches up to 1 inch thick with up to 2800 SPM. The 7-position 180° articulating head allows the user to customize cutting angles for hedges of just about any shape and size.
