We don’t get an awful lot of free time on the farm, but when I do settle in for the evening I’ve been known to burn my free time up perusing the internet. It’s pretty easy to get sucked down one rabbit hole or another, but the ones that have captured my attention are the DIY projects that go from start to finish in about 3 minutes and 28 seconds.

The 20v Max DeWalt Pole Hedge Trimmer – It’s All Within Reach
You’ve undoubtedly heard the expression “It’s a jungle out there” at some point. That expression has taken on new relevance for me as my wife and I attempt to overcome years of neglect on a piece of property purchased almost two years ago. We have tackled some of the worst deficiencies in that span in the house and buildings and are now looking to improve the overall property. We have fenced some pasture and have been clearing some of the more noxious invasive weeds and brush. This is where the new 20v Max DeWalt Pole Hedge Trimmer has been cutting a swath through the neglect. The 20v Max DeWalt Pole Hedge Trimmer is part of DeWalt’s line of 20v Max outdoor power equipment (OPE). Other tools in this line that I own and use are the DeWalt folding string trimmer and the Flexvolt blower. The pole hedge trimmer is the latest that DeWalt sent us to torture test and review. Join us as the we attempt to tame the farm with the DeWalt Pole Hedge Trimmer. Read More
