Echo Hedge Trimmer (HC-2020)

This is a review of the Echo Hedge Trimmer (HC-2020).

I already have an electric hedge trimmer, but I'm tired of hauling and rolling up the power cord. So I decided to get a gas-powered hedge trimmer.

My wife questioned the need for another hedge trimmer since we don't have much of a hedge. I reminded her that one of our sons can borrow it and trim the hedges in his yard which he has a lot of. See, I'm no fool when coming up with the right excuses.

I chose an Echo since I already own their gas-powered blower and trimmer. I've been very happy with both. I ended up purchasing the HC-202 because it was the only one at the local Home Depot store.

The HC-2020 uses the same gas mixture as my blower and trimmer. Best of all, it's very easy to start and stop.

Be very careful when using a hedge trimmer. It's 20 in. double-sided blade is very sharp. It comes with a safety guard for the trigger, and an easy to reach and operate on/off toggle switch on the handle.

It's easy to use and works very well trimming hedges. I think my wife is going to be very happy that I didn't butcher our hedge and left more of the well-manicured green!

Check into the Echo HC-2020 if you're looking for a gas-powered hedge trimmer. It sells for $300.
