The Ryobi 40V 26-inch hedge trimmer retails for $329 and comes with a 2.0Ah battery, a charger, and a removable hedge sweep. Combine that wide front handle with the versatility of the multi-position handle and you’ve got a real winning team.

Measuring from our operator’s ear, our SPL meter clocked this cordless hedge trimmer at 82 dB on low and 87 dB on high.

Because one moves forward while the other moves backward, the net movement evens out resulting in a much smoother cutting experience. Moving the blades in opposite directions absolutely squashes vibration. In this way, both edges of both blades constantly cut materials between the teeth. Ryobi runs both blades back and forth like scissors. On some trimmers, one set of blades remains fixed while the other moves. This hedge trimmer utilizes a two-blade system that greatly reduces felt vibrations. If you want to make that battery last longer, drop it down to the 2800 SPM low speed. If you’re not worried about conserving battery, the 3200 SPM top speed is the way to go. There are two speeds to use with the 26-inch dual-action blades. Regardless, it made trimming our hedges quick and easy. Two, this larger tooth spacing allows more material to smoothly pass through so the bar is less likely to bind up while making passes. One, it has the ability to handle larger branches while trimming. This is a big deal for a couple of reasons.
