The MILWAUKEE® M12 FUEL™ 8” Hedge Trimmer is designed to meet the detail trimming needs of landscape maintenance professionals. Compared to a full size hedge trimmer the compact design delivers a lighter weight and one-handed use to make it easier to control in tight access applications. When running into more demanding applications the trimmer has the power to cut 1/2" branches while also being the fastest cutting in its class for increased application speed and overall productivity. The blade tip guard prevents damage to the property and the blades.
