Hi Dave, I've had a Black & Decker 18 Volt, double cut, cordless hedge trimmer for the last 2 seasons. It's not as powerful as the gas or corded trimmers that I have used in the past, but it gets the job done. It's quick and easy to use, without having to get out the fuel can or drag out the 100 Foot cord. Because its convenience to use I usually trim more frequently, and don't let things get too scraggily. I am able to trim for about 30 Minutes on a charge, which is more than enough time when the temperature is up around 90 degrees. I think that I paid about $89 for the one that I have, and I consider it to be worth the price.

I'm looking for a light to medium duty cordless hedge trimmer. Any recommendations on battery voltage and maker and model? I would prefer one with double cut instead of single action blades.
