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.

RedMax claims a reach of 10-feet, and I have no problem reaching this far, vertically, with the SRTZ230.

This powerplant delivers 1.0 hp and it drives a 20″ double sided blade. The “230” in the RedMax SRTZ230 designates a 23cc (22.5) engine. RedMax Articulating Hedge Trimmer Features No reaching or extending is hardly needed. The articulating head on the RedMax SRTZ230 allows me to cut the tops of most hedges while holding the body of the hedge trimmer right in front of me. With even the lightest hedge trimmer, holding one overhead and flat for extending periods wreaks havoc on my neck, shoulders, and back. My common high-hedge encounters include Boxwood, Ligsutrum, Viburnum, Azalea, and Cherry Laurel, just to name a few. RedMax also offers the Long Reach Trimmer (LRTZ230), however my needs are yet to suffice the need for the longer reach.Įven standing at 6’4″, many hedges here in Central Florida require overhead reach. The SRT in the model number identifies this as a Short Reach Trimmer.
