Black & Decker GTC18452PC-QW 18V 45cm Cordless Hedge Trimmer

The Black & Decker POWERCOMMAND Cordless Hedge Trimmer is a battery-powered garden tool intended for routine maintenance of domestic hedges and shrubs. Its cordless format allows movement around the garden without managing a mains lead, and is suited to shaping and trimming medium-sized hedges rather than working from a fixed power outlet. The rechargeable power system also supports use across separate areas of a home garden.

The trimmer runs on an 18 V, 2 Ah battery, pairing the stated voltage with a defined capacity for comparing cordless systems. A compatible battery is supplied in the package, along with a charger, so the provided power pack can be recharged without purchasing that accessory separately. These inclusions cover the essential components required for the trimmer's battery system.

At approximately 2.42 kg, the tool remains portable when moving between sections of hedge and individual shrubs. A safety brake provides an added control measure around the moving blade, and a slip clutch supplies a second protective mechanism during operation. Reported vibration emission is 2.1 m/s², giving a reference point for comparing expected hand-arm exposure with other hedge trimmers.

• POWERCOMMAND technology is designed to help clear difficult sections of hedge growth.
• Double-sided blade configuration supports cutting in both directions.
• Maximum stroke rate of 1,300 strokes per minute.
• Reported sound power level of 73.8 dB.
• Black and orange exterior colour scheme.
