EGO HTA2020 20-Inch Carbon Fiber Hedge Trimmer Attachment for EGO 56-Volt Lithium-ion Multi Head System

This is easy to use with the power head. It does a great job reaching, and the blade works great. The only caution is the weight. It could be hard for some folks to manage, especially if reaching for high branches to trim. For us, it was great to trim our hedges. It gives you the opportunity to reach everywhere on it.

This attachment alone is worth buying the multi-head system. If you have brushy areas that would chew through your trimmer line, this beast will cut them down to size. It easily handles brush up to the 3/4-inch thick size that is specified, and probably a little more. It is a heavy spinning blade so going through a 4 or 5Ah battery is a workout, but the results are satisfying. A shoulder strap his highly recommended with this. Cutting brush down to the base and applying brush killer is very effective. One thing to watch out for: It is a little too easy to not perfectly align the giant ninja-star blade on the hub. It can shift while you are tightening the retaining nut. When this happens the tool will vibrate like a jackhammer. if that happens, make sure your blade is centered and try again.

It is true this thing is heavy and it is a burden and it is a lot of fun because it tries to control you but if you're able to control it then it is very effective, extremely. Clears Stone from grass back into the driveway with ease. Make yourself a harness. And it's powerful so that's good, again don't let it control you you control it

The elephant in the room: can this attachment replace a string trimmer, edger, and brush cutter? For many people, yes. Vs. String Trimmer: This cuts more precisely because you can see exactly where the blade ends. It does not “mulch” weeds the same way a string trimmer does, but it cuts clean. It is heavier than a trimmer, but once you get the hang of it, it glides along the ground and cuts at about one inch. In some ways, that makes it less tiring. It will cut anything a string trimmer will, plus a lot more. Big bonus: it does not sling debris all over your ankles, face, and eyes. Much safer. Also, no more string drama. Just sharpen the blade eventually. Vs. Brush Cutter: It is not as powerful as a true brush cutter. It will not chop down small trees or heavy brush, so it is a step down there. But again, it does not launch debris into your face, legs, and eyes. That is a major plus. Vs. Edger: I do not edge, so no comment . Bottom line: For most people, I would recommend buying this instead of buying all three other tools. If you have serious heavy brush, you will still need a brush cutter. Many people say that since buying this, they have not pulled out their string trimmer or brush cutter. I can see why.

Does a great job. Little on the heavy side. Definitely need a strap

This is heavy. I was very sore for a few days after doing my two flower beds in front of my house one day a couple weeks ago but it was well worth it. I’d still be doing the beds and would have probably given up at this point.

Works great—cuts thick brush a regular weed eater cant manage. But its heavy! I bought a shoulder strap ( ought to be included!) and its easier to manage now.

I already had a "handheld hedge trimmer" which worked great for stuff above the waist, but was a pain to use at ground level. This gadget worked perfectly, as an "electric scythe" so that I could deal with the brush near my cabin. It comes with a helpful shoulder strap, which is good, because it's a bit heavy all together. A *very* helpful feature is that the angle of the cutting head is adjustable; you can tip it to work on a slope or on flat ground. Anyway, it works great. I have found that the "big" batteries tend to last longer than this 65 year old does, so you won't be changing batterie frequently --- you have time to go get a nice iced tea and recuperate.

Does as advertised. Gives you and extra bit of reach. I wondered why there wasn't a longer extension but now that I've used it, I can see that the weight of the saw on the end of this length is about as much as you can comfortably swing around.

Great product. Works better than expected. I see why people say it's heavy and a lot of work to use, but it's manageable and worth it. So much faster and more effective than raking. Not only gets the rocks from gravel driveway but all small debris from trees and sticks that is hard to rake. I actually use it with an 80V greenworks pro attachment capable trimmer. I didn't want to switch because I have about 6 or 7 tools that use the same 80v batteries. First I removed the nylon bushing in the steel tubing. Than the small round bar drive shaft going down to the gear box pulled right out. In a vise I used a grinder and file to change the slightly larger spline tip to a square (keystock looking) tip. I had to cut it down a bit as well with a zip disc. Luckily everything was larger and I just slowly took off material to fit the male tip into the female adapter on the greenworks. Took less than an hour to do the work and put everything together. Now I would probably work with other brands as well.

When though tall weeds and bush no problem .

Great quality as expected from Ego. Tool is a bit heavy, long jobs can be tiring. Would buy again

Got a lot of ego tools,this one is a great addition, works really well and with some force, needs a big battery on it though.
