Highlights
- LIGHTWEIGHT BUT POWERFUL: Ergonomic perfection. Tough yet comfortable to use, and long enough to make short work of your hedge trimming duties.
- 22‘’ CUTTING REACH: Enough length for flat tops and long, even sides. Yet still nimble enough to round the corners. We didn’t arbitrarily pick 22 inch—we think it’s just right.
- SAME BATTERY, EXPANDABLE POWER: The same battery powers over 75+ 20V, 40V, and 80V lifestyle, garden, and power tools in the PowerShare family. Comes with a charger and a 2.0Ah, 20V max lithium PowerShare battery you can use to power this or any other WORX 20V PowerShare tool.
- GRAB N’ GO: The D-grip handle lets you hold it from any angle and cut from any position that’s comfortable. Plus, it gives you the leverage to hoist it up high for the tops of tall hedges, or hold it down low for undergrowth.
- CUTS TWICE AS NICE: The dual-action blades cut once, then catches that branch again on the way back, just to make sure. For a trim that’s twice as clean, twice as powerful, twice as fast.
- DESIGNED TO ABSORB VIBRATION: A ¾ inch blade gap gets around those branches and rips right through them, while the overmold construction on the grips dissipates all that power so you hardly feel a thing.
- CUT THE CORD: You don’t have to worry about doubling back and catching the cord. Enjoy the freedom of cordless, rechargeable, power gardening tools equipped with PowerShare batteries.

Detailed Review
The WORX WG261 Cordless Hedge Trimmer offers home gardeners a cord free way to shape shrubs, trim hedge tops, and clear low undergrowth. Operating on a 20V rechargeable battery system, it eliminates the hassle of dragging extension cords across the lawn or chancing accidental cord cuts while working.
With a 22 inch cutting reach, this trimmer is built to cover wide areas quickly, making it easier to maintain flat hedge tops and long straight sides while remaining maneuverable around corners. Its dual action blades move back and forth to cut branches twice on a single pass, delivering clean results. The blades feature a 3/4 inch gap, allowing the tool to feed around branches of that thickness and slice through them without jamming.
User comfort is handled by an ergonomic D-grip handle and overmold grip construction. The D-grip lets you switch positions naturally, whether hoisting the tool high for tall hedges or angling it down low for bottom growth. Meanwhile, the overmold material works to dissipate vibration during operation so your hands take less stress. The included 2.0Ah 20V lithium PowerShare battery and charger also plug directly into more than 75 other WORX tools across their 20V, 40V, and 80V lines.
There are a few limits to keep in mind based on the design. While the 3/4 inch blade gap works well for typical hedge growth, it will not cut through thicker limbs or woody branches beyond that size. Additionally, cordless performance depends on battery capacity, so users with extensive landscaping may need extra PowerShare batteries, though the listing does not state exact battery runtimes or tool weight.
Verdict: This trimmer is a practical choice for homeowners who want lightweight cordless freedom and versatile handling for routine hedge maintenance. It is especially ideal if you already own or plan to build out a setup of WORX PowerShare tools.
