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. Runtime is very impressive with the BHT250PD60 and the 40V 5.0Ah battery, with a working runtime of 60-120 minutes.The “230” in the RedMax SRTZ230 designates a 23cc (22.5) engine. The blade guard is made of metal, just as the Husqvarna counterpart. This is a 24″ double sided trimmer head with dual reciprocating blades.
