The Worx NITRO 20V Pruning Shear/Lopper works well for cutting branches, twigs, dead flowers and more up to 1” diameter. These handheld shears are a great tool for smaller applications when a full-sized hedge trimmer is not needed and offers more power than manual shears or loppers. At only 2.38 lbs. with battery attached and an ergonomic soft grip handle, the user can operate these shears for longer periods with little to no fatigue. You can also hold these shears with one hand, versus a manual lopper where you must operate with both hands. As part of the Power Share platform, it uses the same batteries as every other tool, outdoor power and lifestyle product in that family. The compact brushless motor offers greater power, extended runtimes, and longer life versus tools with a brushed motor design. The titanium coating on the blades decreases friction, makes for easier cutting, and protects against rust erosion. The Worx NITRO line of Outdoor Power Equipment has the power to outperform standard battery-operated garden equipment.

The Worx 20V Shrubber/Shear is designed to quickly trim bushes, shrubs, and hedges in-between regular maintenance, so you don’t have to get out the big, bulky, full-size hedge trimmer for just some touch-up work. At only 2 lbs you just grab this tool and go and quickly take care of that bush in the corner that’s looking a little shaggy, or those few blades around that tree that maybe got missed over the weekend. This tool is equipped with enough functionality, though, that you could use this as your regular hedge trimmer if you were so inclined. Featuring two quick-change blades: a 4” blade for grass trimming and an 8” blade for shrubs, with a max cut capacity of 5/16” and a no-load speed of 1100/min, there’s enough design and power to keep an entire yard looking crisp and clean. The dual-action blades slice twice, making sure to catch every leaf and twig. And the soft-grip over-mold handle is easy to grasp and use for extended periods without causing significant hand fatigue. This particular model doesn’t come with a battery, it’s meant for Worx Power Share users that already have a few batteries lying around at home. See, when you’re on the Power Share platform, you don’t need as many batteries, because you can share them between tools. So when you buy a new tool, you pay less because you don’t need to buy a new battery.

High-powered, pro-grade cutting is never a chore with the Worx Nitro 20V Brushless 5” Cordless Pruning Saw. Refined with an ultra-compact design and lightweight body profile, this pruning saw is easy and comfortable to maneuver—even during extended use or when working in tight spaces. The battery-powered cordless capability offers an extended run time that allows for truly on-the-go cutting. Rely on this impressive mobility to cut firewood at campsites, clear branches on hunting trails, trim trees on large properties, and much more. The 5” bar length is ideal for a variety of cutting tasks—including pruning, trimming, delimbing, and bucking. The high-efficiency brushless motor heightens the saw’s performance by providing 50% longer run time, 25% more power, a 10X longer life than standard brushed motors. For added convenience, the pruning saw features automatic chain-tensioning for quick and secure chain adjustments. In addition, onboard chain lubrication sustains cutting efficiency without hassle, as well as extends bar and chain life. Safety is prioritized with the retractable bar and chain guard, which retracts automatically when cutting from above. The guard can also be retracted manual when you need to undercut. Whatever the task, rely on the guarded handle design to maximize control while increasing safety and security.

For quick trims, the Worx 20V Shrubber/Shear is your grab-n-go hedge trimmer. No need to gas up or plug-in the full-size trimmer when just a few blades need to be cut or a couple of leaves were missed over the weekend. It’s only 2 lbs and has a comfortable to grasp over-mold soft-grip handle, so it also makes a great trimmer for those who have trouble with larger lawn & garden tools. With a no-load speed of 1100/min and two tool-free easy to change blades for grass or shrubs, it has the power and functionality to be your regular hedge trimmer, as well. The dual-action cutting blades catch everything twice, leaving your shrubs even and clean. And with a 5/16” cutting capacity, it slices through thicker twigs than you would expect from such a small machine. You can even purchase a pole attachment (WA0040, sold separately) to get the trees or tall hedges without having to stand on a stool or a ladder. Plus, this Shrubber/Shear comes with a 20V 1.5 Ah Power Share battery, which you can use to operate every tool on the Power Share platform. This trimmer is a perfect complement to any large collection, a wonderful little stand-alone tool if you’re serious about your shrubs, trees, bushes, and hedges, or a great solution to those with hands that tire easily.
