Milwaukee Tool 3043-20 Short Pole Hedge Trimmer 20 in

Product Description

The MILWAUKEE TOOL 3043-20 is a cordless M18 FUEL short pole hedge trimmer built for landscape maintenance professionals and experienced tradespeople who need maneuverability in tight or elevated spaces. The trimmer features a 20-inch double-sided blade with a 1-inch blade gap, giving it the cutting capacity to work through branches up to 1 inch in diameter. Running on the M18 lithium-ion battery platform, it delivers consistent power without the weight or exhaust of a gas-powered unit. Overall tool length reaches 71 inches, positioning the cutting head at a practical working distance for hedges and shrubs without requiring a ladder on standard-height plantings.

The 3043-20 is suited for residential and light commercial landscape applications where cordless operation, reduced weight, and precise blade control matter. The short pole configuration works well for trimming hedges, shaped shrubs, and perimeter plantings where a full-length pole trimmer would be unwieldy. The tool ships without a battery or charger, making it a bare-tool addition for crews already running the M18 ecosystem. A blade sheath is included for safe transport and storage between jobs.
