The EGO HT2400E 56V Power + hedge cut uses a lithium-ion rechargeable battery to power its 60 cm double sided cutter blades. The laser cut steel blades are diamond ground for a precise, clean finish to the cut. Made from hardened steel the clean cut of the blade helps to encourage new growth in hedges & shrubs. At the end of the blades is a pruning segment for sawing thicker hedge & shrub stems or branches up to 3/4 " thick. The end blade protector helps protects the blade when cutting at right angles to a wall or solid fence. The EGO range of Power + battery operated gardening tools were introduced in 2015. These cordless garden products have been a major success in North America with their 56 volt lithium-ion batteries which are comparable in performance to petrol powered machines. Recent consumer research has shown an increased interest & demand for outdoor power tools which are quieter & less environmentally polluting than traditional petrol driven models. All the machines in the range are interchangeable with the 2.5 Ah, 4 Ah, 5 Ah, & 7.5 Ah lithium ion batteries.
