Comparing WORX Models in This Category
This category spotlights two similar yet distinct 22-inch cordless hedge trimmers, helping you decide based on your needs.
The WG261.9 is ultra-lightweight at 4.4 pounds, perfect for those who already own WORX 20V batteries. Its bare-tool design keeps costs down while maintaining the same dual-action blades and runtime capabilities, ideal for quick touch-ups or as an add-on to existing kits.

This complete package suits beginners or those starting fresh, offering immediate usability without extra purchases. Both models feature 180 cuts per minute and a 5/8-inch cutting capacity, ensuring they tackle thick branches with ease.
Choose the WG261.9 if battery compatibility is key; opt for the WG261 for all-in-one convenience. Both exemplify WORX's engineering for balanced power and portability.
