EGO Power+ 26" Cordless Hedge Trimmer HT2600 — Dual-Action Blades, Carbon-Fiber Rail

Designed for homeowners and landscaping pros who want gas-like power without the fumes or cord restrictions, the HT2600 brings a lightweight carbon fiber rail, a brushless motor, and up to 60 minutes of runtime (with a recommended 2.5Ah 56V battery, sold separately). It balances cutting performance—up to 3,400 strokes per minute—with durability and weather resistance, making it a convenient option for regular hedge and shrub maintenance.

How does the HT2600 deliver cleaner, faster cuts?

The HT2600 uses 26-inch dual-action steel blades that reduce vibration and slice through branches neatly. With a cut capacity up to 1.2 inches and 3,400 strokes per minute from a brushless motor, it trims efficiently while preserving hedge shape.

• Dual-action steel blades for reduced blade chatter and smoother cuts
• 1.2-inch maximum cut capacity for small to medium branches
• Up to 3,400 strokes per minute for quicker passes
• Serviceable gearbox for blade sharpening and long-term performance

What features make it durable and easy to handle?

A carbon fiber rail gives the HT2600 an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and comes backed by a lifetime warranty for added confidence. The tool also includes a five-position, 180-degree rotating handle that lets you adjust the grip to access tight spots and work at differing angles without strain.

• Industry-first carbon fiber rail with lifetime warranty for toughness
• Lightweight construction reduces operator fatigue during long jobs
• Five-position, 180-degree rotating handle for flexible cutting angles
• IPX4 splash resistance protects the tool from light rain and debris

How long will the battery power last and what batteries work?

The HT2600 runs on EGO 56V ARC Lithium batteries and is compatible with the full EGO 56V lineup. With the recommended 2.5Ah battery (sold separately) you can expect up to 60 minutes of runtime during typical hedge-trimming tasks; larger-capacity batteries extend that runtime.

• Compatible with all EGO 56V ARC Lithium batteries for battery interchangeability
• Up to 60 minutes runtime with recommended 2.5Ah battery (battery and charger not included)
• Brushless motor maximizes efficiency, reducing power draw and vibration
• Quick-change battery system for fast swaps on larger jobs

Is maintenance and sharpening straightforward?

The HT2600 was engineered for long-term serviceability: the gearbox is accessible so blades can be sharpened or serviced, extending the tool’s lifespan. Regular cleaning and periodic sharpening keep cutting performance high and reduce strain on the motor.

• Serviceable gearbox simplifies blade sharpening and maintenance
• Removable blade assembly for cleaning and inspection
• Brushless motor requires less routine upkeep than brushed motors
• Follow EGO maintenance guidelines to preserve warranty coverage

Who this is for: The EGO POWER+ HT2600 suits homeowners, gardeners, and landscape contractors who want cordless convenience with professional-level features—particularly those who value durability, low vibration, and flexible handling. Note that the battery and charger are sold separately, so pair the HT2600 with the appropriate EGO 56V ARC Lithium battery for the runtime you need.
