# LawnMaster 22-Inch Cordless Hedge Trimmer: Lighter Than I Expected (And My Wife Approved) *By James Hills, mantripping.com — Updated May 2026* Cordless yard tools used to mean trading the cord for a bowling-ball-heavy battery, and that's why I went into the LawnMaster 22-Inch 24V Cordless Hedge Trimmer expecting a workout. At 6.5 pounds it ended up being lighter than the corded trimmer my neighbor was wrestling across his lawn that same afternoon. Things have changed. ** How To Buy LawnMaster 22-Inch Cordless Hedge Trimmer** The [LawnMaster 22-Inch 24V Cordless Hedge Trimmer](https://lawnmaster.com/lawnmaster-22-inch-24v-cordless-hedge-trimmer/) (model CLHT2422) is available direct from LawnMaster with a 2.0Ah battery and fast charger included, and you can also buy it on [Amazon.com](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DFY5JSFM?tag=mantr0c-20). ** Why I'll Never Go Back To Corded Lawn Gear** The whole reason to go cordless is so you actually use the thing for the small jobs - not just the big ones. - 6.5 pounds with the battery installed - light enough that everyone in the house actually picks it up. - 22-inch dual-action blade with 9/16-inch cut capacity handles bushes and shrubs without bogging down. - 40 minutes of runtime on the 2.0Ah battery covers most weekend trim sessions on a single charge. - Part of the LawnMaster MX 24V battery system - one battery slides between this and other tools you add later. - No cord to drag, untangle, route around the porch, or accidentally cut in half (don't ask). ** Review Index** [Long Blade - Light Weight!](https://www.mantripping.com/stuff/lawnmaster-22-inch-cordless-hedge-trimmer-review.html#long-blade-light-weight) Look Ma - No Cords!

Battery yard tools have always traded the weight of the cord for the weight of the battery, and that's mostly been a wash. The LawnMaster bucks that pattern at 6.5 pounds with the battery installed, which is light enough that my wife grabbed it mid-session and didn't want to give it back. That tracks with how it feels in the hand - balanced, nimble, no wrist strain after working my way around a hedge. Whatever they're doing with the housing and battery layout is paying off, because nothing about this thing screams "compromise" the way older cordless yard tools used to. My only real nit is that it would be nice if you could lock the trigger rather than having to keep both hands on the machine - safety switch and power trigger - and if it were a little bit quieter. I get it, safety is important and realistically, the noise really isn't bad compared to any similar tool, but you may still want to wear earplugs if mechanical noises bother you. The real sell happened halfway through my own trim job, when I looked over and saw my neighbor doing the same chore. Except he was tethered to the side of his house by a long orange extension cord, and every few feet he'd stop, pull slack, move whatever was getting tangled, and start again. I've been that guy more times than I want to admit. I've also cut a few power cords accidentally over the years. Oops. With the LawnMaster I walked from one bush to the next, did the front, did the side yard, came back and did the back without unspooling, replugging, or rerouting anything. Dragging an extension cord across the yard to trim one bush is just a drag for what should be a quick job. The bigger argument for cordless yard tools isn't the long sessions - it's the short ones. If I want to spend twenty minutes touching up a single shrub before the in-laws come over, I'm not dragging out an extension cord, finding an outlet, plugging in, routing the cord around the porch, and putting it all away after. That's a production for a chore that should be barely a chore. With this trimmer I whip it off the shelf, hit the safety button, knock out the work, and put it back. That's the use case that actually changes how often you trim. The trimmer is part of LawnMaster's 24V MX battery system, which means the 2.0Ah pack that ships with it isn't a one-tool battery. Once you've bought into the system, the next tool you pick up - blower, mower, string trimmer - runs off the same battery already sitting charged in the garage. That changes the value math on the second purchase entirely. A corded trimmer is cheaper today, but you're paying full retail for every other corded tool too. With LawnMaster, the second tool in the lineup gets cheaper because the battery cost is already amortized. In fact the Robot Mower they sent me - notice it working in the background! - also uses the same batter system just a larger one that actually works on this unit if you want more time between charges. ## Long Blade - Light Weight! Forty minutes of runtime on a 2.0Ah pack, 6.5 pounds in the hand, and no cord wrapped around the bushes or caught in a shrub. The LawnMaster 22-Inch Cordless Hedge Trimmer is the kind of small upgrade that quietly changes how much yard work actually gets done around the house.
