The Toro 51496 24V Max Lithium-Ion Hedge Trimmer is a part of Toro’s bare tool program, which features tools that run on the same battery platform, so you can buy one battery and use it for multiple tools.
The powerful 24-volt Lithium-ion battery (Model 88506) provides a long run time and with the included charger (Model 88503), the unit will be fully charged in 75 minutes.
The hedge trimmer’s ergonomic handle rotates 90 degrees in each direction for convenient accessibility when trimming vertically, and its dual-action blades greatly minimize vibration when compared to a single-blade hedge trimmer. The work grip handles help reduce hand fatigue and improve comfort while trimming. The 51496 hedge trimmer measures 8 by 8 by 36 inches and carries a two-year warranty.
