I no longer cringe when seeing those 6-foot hedges that seem to adorn many of my client’s homes. Using the SRTZ230 RedMax articulating hedge trimmer makes me wonder why I didn’t make this purchase much sooner. The handle is plastic with a comfortable rubber overmould, and it can be adjusted on the shaft to fit each individual user. More than just sharing the weight, the handle gives more control to the user. In addtion to the throttle handle, the “D” handle clamped to the shaft of the trimmer allows for a second hand to share the load.
This is so much better than an actual switch where you’re not sure if it’s in the “on” or “off” position. Once the button is released, the RedMax articulating hedge trimmer is ready to start. Simply put, the power is always on, unless the button/switch is held depressed, killing power to the engine. I really like the auto-return style switch for on/off. The power switch is a feature, as well as an ergonomic function. This is done in a simple and comfortable manner. The top of the operator’s hand simply depresses the lockout, so the forefinger and subsequent fingers can grasp the throttle. Also, the trigger handle allows for a comfortable grip while providing the necessary throttle trigger and trigger lockout. I can quickly change from cutting the top of a tall hedge (90 degrees), to trimming the sides (170 degrees), to trimming the tops of small bushes (135 degrees).Īforementioned was the low weight of just 13 pounds which aids in the ergonomic department. With just a quarter-turn of the retaining nut handle, the cutting head will adjust from -45 degrees (135 degrees) to +90 degrees. SRTZ230 Articulating HeadĪdjusting the articulating head of the RedMax SRTZ230 is very simple, hence it requires no tools. This includes Crepe Myrtle, Hibiscus, and even random young oaks. I have yet to have an issue with cutting through any hedges, shrubs, or tree branches that fit inside the one-inch cutting capacity. Don’t let the nimble comment detract from the power delivery. With the power to weight ratio on the RedMax articulating hedge trimmer, this SRTZ230 is very nimble. RedMax claims a reach of 10-feet, and I have no problem reaching this far, vertically, with the SRTZ230. Furthermore, this RedMax articulating hedge trimmer weighs only 13.3 lbs., so even holding the SRTZ230 straight out or straight up is not an issue. This powerplant delivers 1.0 hp and it drives a 20″ double sided blade. With extended reach models, cutting tall, hard-to-reach areas becomes a quick and easy task.The “230” in the RedMax SRTZ230 designates a 23cc (22.5) engine.
