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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e20-inch double-sided blade delivers bidirectional cutting on each pass\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1-inch blade gap handles branches up to 1 inch in diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e71-inch overall length extends reach without ladder use on standard hedges\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCordless M18 lithium-ion platform eliminates fuel mixing and exhaust\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight design reduces operator fatigue during extended trimming sessions\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIncludes blade sheath for safe storage and transport\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompatible with Milwaukee M18 lithium-ion batteries.
