Ryobi RPT4545M 450W Pole Hedge Trimmer, 450 W, Green and Black

As far as the job of trimming the hedge goes. It is perfect however, I should like to see more attention to the fact that it weighs so much. More clearly shown

A great well made set of hedge trimmers. These trimmers are powerful and easily dealt with my fir tree hedges. The sections slot together once lined up correctly but do require a wee push to connect properly. Probably the factor that will limit their use is the weight. As with all trimmers where the motor is at the cutting end of the pole, they are heavy when held between 45 degrees and horizontally. Having said that, I'm very happy with these trimmers

This trimmer is really good the blades are really sharp and cut easily branches to around 15-20mm on most bushes it is reasonably powerful and doesn't make to much noise. It does have a long lead although I do still need to use my extension lead for those wondering it does plug in witha 3 pin plug as ive seen a few reviews that says it has 2 pin eurpoean plugs, which in my opinion is an added bonus.The pole reaches to around 2.5 mtrs this a good feature the main downside to this the weight of the unit is on the end which is a bout 4kg and it becomes quite difficult to handle, I would definitely recommend to anyone they use the strap supplied to make it easier. All in all it is a good trimmer and does exactly what it says.

Good cutting but a bit top heavy thanks

Really impressive item. It clicks and snaps shut with a solid expensive and sure feel. It has done an amazing clean trim of my fur tree. The motor never even got warm in using it for 30 mins plus.I attached and unattached the extensions a dozen times and perfect and safe each time.I used the 90 degree , 45 degree and upright angles with ease multiple times.The blades are so sharp you can trim with the blades sideways on.I unboxed the item probably the wrong way round and so missed the supplied strap ( I managed without it) and also the instructions. There are 4 caps on the poles that are to protect the 4 pin sockets on the poles when not in use. Simply remove these , line up the arrows , push together and tighten.I have already got half my money back now in having not paid someone. I think I will probably now get the Ryobi hand chainsaw to control the main stems of my 10feet wide fur tree.This I find to be a tough quality item that should last years.

I bought this as it seemed lighter than all the others but it’s soo heavy and awkward. I’m pretty fit but it’s a killer leaves you all shakey afterwards. It’s also not great at cutting much more than very light new growth

Really pleased with purchase very efficient hedge cutter and long handle allows management of high growth. When using the extension the motor obviously becomes heavy but if you work in stages it’s absolutely fine. Would recommend

I hire tools and plat for a living, ryobi failed on this one, having the motor at the cutting head instead of the base makes the tool unbalanced and tires the user quickly, I would get anyone to take the Pepsi challenge and use a heaver sthil long reach 2 stroke cutter and this and see which they prefer.
