Product Overview

The RYOBI 40V HP Brushless Whisper Series 26 in. Hedge Trimmer (RY40606BTL) is a high-performance cordless trimmer designed for cutting through dense, overgrown hedges with minimal noise. As part of RYOBI’s Whisper Series, it operates up to 60% quieter than standard models—making it a great choice for residential areas where noise matters.

This model features a brushless motor for maximum power and efficiency, delivering cleaner cuts and longer motor life. The 26-inch dual-action blades are ideal for trimming wide hedges with fewer passes and less vibration.
