CRAFTSMAN V20 Cordless Hedge Trimmer 22-inch Bare Tool — Dual-Action Blade & Power-Saw

The CRAFTSMAN V20 Cordless 22-inch Hedge Trimmer (CMCHTS820B) is a lightweight, battery-powered trimmer with dual-action blades and an integrated power-saw feature for tackling hedges and small branches.

Designed for homeowners and weekend landscapers who want a cordless solution, this bare-tool trimmer plugs into CRAFTSMAN's V20 battery ecosystem (battery and charger sold separately). It combines a 22" dual-action blade for faster, cleaner cuts with a dedicated power-saw section that helps manage thicker material without switching tools. The tool's compact footprint and full-bale handle make it easier to control while the integrated VERSATRACK-compatible hanging feature simplifies storage when projects are finished.

How does the dual-action blade improve trimming results?

The dual-action blade reduces vibration while delivering quicker, more precise cutting along hedge faces and borders. It helps produce a neater finish by cutting in opposing motions, which decreases tearing and gives a cleaner edge on shrubs and ornamental plants.

• 22-inch dual-action blade for wider cutting swath per pass
• Reduced vibration for steadier cutting and comfort
• Sharper, cleaner cuts that limit ragged edges on hedges

What can the power-saw section handle on this trimmer?

The integrated power-saw portion is built for intermittently removing limbs too large for the main blade. It provides extra capability for tackling occasional branches without changing to a chainsaw, giving you one tool that handles both shaping and light pruning tasks.

• Power-saw cuts branches up to 1-1/2 inches thick
• Ideal for removing stubborn shoots and small limbs
• Saves time by avoiding tool changes for moderate pruning

How portable and comfortable is this trimmer for regular use?

Weighing under 8 pounds with a battery installed, the trimmer balances portability and power for extended use without excessive fatigue. Its full-bale handle gives multiple grip positions for reach and maneuvering around shrubs, corners, and vertical faces.

• Lightweight design for less operator strain during long sessions
• Full-bale handle improves control and allows varied hand positions
• Compact length and balance support overhead and horizontal trimming

Which accessories and compatibility should I know about?

This model ships as a bare tool, allowing you to add the V20 battery and charger that match your existing CRAFTSMAN V20 collection. After use, the trimmer can be stored with the VERSATRACK system for neat garage organization, keeping blades protected and the workspace tidy.

• Compatible with CRAFTSMAN V20 batteries and chargers (sold separately)
• VERSATRACK-compatible hang slot for garage storage (rack sold separately)
• Available as a kit option if you prefer purchase with battery and charger included
