The MILWAUKEE M12 FUEL 8" Hedge Trimmer is designed to meet the detail trimming needs of landscape maintenance professionals. Compared to a full size hedge trimmer the compact design delivers a lighter weight and one-handed use to make it easier to control in tight access applications. When running into more demanding applications the trimmer has the power to cut ½" branches while also being the fastest cutting in its class for increased application speed and overall productivity. The blade tip guard prevents damage to the property and the blades. The M12 FUEL hedge trimmer is fully compatible with 150+ solutions within the M12 system.
