KÄRCHER HGE 2-18 Battery Set 18 V Hedge Trimmer

The Kärcher HGE 2-18 Battery Set 18 V Hedge Trimmer is a cordless tool for routine garden work, from shaping shrubs to cutting back established hedges. Its 450 mm diamond-ground blade has 18 mm tooth spacing and an 18 mm maximum branch capacity, so each pass covers useful ground while staying within the material thickness it can actually handle. The blade runs at up to 2,450 strokes per minute, supporting controlled, repeated cuts through leafy growth. Battery operation removes the need to manage a mains lead around fence lines, corners, and planted borders.

The trimmer weighs 2.3 kg with its battery fitted, a useful figure when comparing tools for longer sessions or shoulder-height work. An ergonomic handle and grip support control while changing the direction of a cut. The included lithium-ion battery is rated at 18 V and 2 Ah, providing clear voltage and capacity figures for system comparisons. Specified runtime is up to 30 minutes per charge.

The battery is removable and works with the Kärcher 18 V Battery Power platform, so it can be exchanged within that compatible tool system. A charger is included in the set, meaning the battery can be charged without buying that accessory separately. This is a conventional handheld model with no telescopic extension or handle-height adjustment. The housing is yellow, and the dedicated hedge-trimmer head keeps the format focused on hedge and shrub maintenance.

• Charging time: approximately 1.56 hours for the supplied battery.
• Battery monitoring: a real-time LCD display shows the remaining charge level.

• Storage provision: an integrated hanging loop supports space-saving tool storage.
• Safety controls: fitted with both a safety switch and a safety lock.
• Cutting mechanism: a reciprocating hedge-trimmer blade designed for repeated back-and-forth cutting.
