What Customers Are Saying
The product has a lightweight design and is easy to use, with effective "bump feed" line advancement. However, some users report issues with battery life and problems with the trimmer head or line getting stuck or breaking. Overall, the trimmer seems suitable for light-duty trimming in smaller yards, but may lack power and runtime for more demanding tasks.

Would RecommendThis is a powerful 2 speed grass trimmer that lasts for a good length of time. Coupled with a 20 volt, 4 ah battery and a fast charger, it is much betrer than i expected it to be. The low power setting is more than enough to do regular every day jobs, and the high setting will do a good job on heavier grass and small weeds. If this trimmer continues to impress me, i think the skil cordlees lawn mower will be my next purchase.

As advertised.
Would RecommendMostly behaved as advertised. Battery recharge time slightly longer than indicated; run time was about as indicated. Not a true "variable speed" tool, which was a little disappointing. Has 2 speeds to select from (Hi and Low), which does help to conserve battery, and match speed to cutting needs. Only used for one trimming session around the yard to this point, but so far seems to be a good match to my needs for the price.

Skil Battery Hedge Trimmer
I like the Skil line of battery powered tools. The hedge trimmers work well. Skil has some real winners with their line of battery powered tools.

Would RecommendPowerful and quieter than my craftsman. Long battery life

Awesome!
Would RecommendI am truly impressed with this trimmer! For a battery powered tool, this thing is a beast! Average grass and weeds don't stand a chance on LOW, and on HIGH, tall quack grass and woody weeds are toast. I've done my one acre twice now and only had to tap for new line once!

Switched from cord to cordless
Would RecommendI enjoy using this battery-operated trimmer. It works well and integrates battery wise with other Skil products I own. It replaced a corded hedge trimmer so the process of going out and doing a little trimming is much more convenient. Quite capable of trimming branches based on its size limitation.

Works great for home use.
Would RecommendTrimmed all my shrubbery, used about 45 minutes and had a 1/4 of battery life left. Light weight to use. Cut was nice and clean.

Works great!
Light but powerful and super easy to use. I haven't had to replace the string that came with it yet but interested to see how that works.
