Greenworks 24V Cordless Shear Shrubber - Lightweight 2-in-1 Trimmer

Our review of the Greenworks 24V Cordless Shear Shrubber finds it best suited to homeowners who want a compact, easy-to-handle tool for edging, shaping small hedges and tidying ornamental grasses. The single biggest reason to consider this model is its practical 2-in-1 design paired with the 24V lithium-ion platform, which delivers noticeably more power and longer run-time than typical compact cordless shears; that makes routine trimming faster and less frustrating than with cheaper corded or small battery alternatives.

Key Features

• 24V Lithium-Ion Power: Provides about 20% more power and 35% more run-time than earlier small battery units, so short jobs finish without slowing down.
• 2-in-1 Design: Tool-less transition between grass shear and shrubber blade allows switching modes quickly for different tasks without extra tools.
• Durable Steel Blades: Dual action, double-sided blades stay sharp and give clean cuts on grass, leaves and small twigs for neat results.
• High Cutting Speed: Up to 1,400 SPM helps bite through vines and dense ornamental grass with less effort than slow manual shears.
• Platform Compatibility: Part of a 24V system that powers over 50 tools, so batteries and chargers can be shared across other outdoor equipment.

Who It's For

The Greenworks 24V Cordless Shear Shrubber suits small-plot homeowners, renters with container gardens, and anyone who wants a lightweight, multifunction trimming tool for edging lawns and shaping small hedges. It is particularly good where portability matters and running a cord is inconvenient.

Those who need heavy-duty hedge cutting on long runs or who maintain large properties should look at higher-voltage hedge trimmers with longer runtime batteries. Also, buyers who need an included battery should note this is a tool-only listing and must be paired with a compatible 24V battery.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Lightweight design that makes prolonged use easier and improves maneuverability around tight plantings.
• Sharp, dual-action steel blades that deliver clean cuts on grass, vines and small branches.
• Tool-less mode change and fast cutting speed up to 1,400 SPM for efficient multi-purpose trimming.
• Works on the wider Greenworks 24V platform, so batteries and chargers are interchangeable with other tools.

Cons

• Tool-only configuration means the battery and charger are not included, adding initial cost if not already on the 24V platform.
• Build quality received mixed feedback from some users, so expect typical wear with heavy or very frequent use.
