METABO HS 18 LTX 65 18 V Cordless Hedge Trimmer Body Only

The METABO HS 18 LTX 65 18 V Cordless Hedge Trimmer Body Only is a battery-powered tool for maintaining hedges and shrubs. Its cordless format allows operation without a mains cable. The 630 mm cutting length is paired with 19 mm tooth spacing and a maximum branch capacity of 19 mm. This cutting reach is suited to longer hedge faces as well as controlled shaping work.

A double-sided reciprocating system cuts on both sides of the blade. The complete blade measures 650 mm from end to end. Operating speed is rated at 2,600 strokes per minute for routine garden maintenance and more demanding hedge work. Drop-shaped teeth help retain twigs between the cutters instead of allowing them to slip out during a pass.

Weight is approximately 2.7 kg with a battery installed, or 2.3 kg without one. The ergonomic layout combines a soft-grip surface, long trigger button, and inside bow-type handle switch. Compatibility covers CAS Cordless Alliance System 18 V lithium-ion battery packs. Neither the battery nor charger is supplied, so both must be sourced separately for users without compatible equipment.

• Laser-cut, diamond-ground cutters provide accurately formed cutting edges.
• An electronic blade brake provides rapid stopping when operation is interrupted.
• The safety switch and trigger guard support controlled two-handed operation.
• Rated sound pressure is 78 dB, with an 89 dB sound power level.
• Low-vibration system with a rated vibration emission of 2 m/s².
• Easy-storage provision is integrated into the trimmer.
