Greenworks G24PSHK2 cordless 2-in-1 pole saw and pole hedge trimmer (tool only) with 20cm bar
Product description
The essentials (for big garden jobs)
If your garden has grown a bit wilder than you planned, a cordless pole tool can save a lot of hassle. The Greenworks G24PSHK2 is designed for larger gardens where you want to cut, trim and prune higher growth without constantly moving ladders. On paper it’s a practical “two jobs in one” setup: a pole saw and a pole hedge trimmer, with a split-shaft pole saw that’s meant for reaching branches up high.
One thing to be aware of: this is a tool-only package. That means it’s not automatically a complete battery garden kit, so you’ll need a compatible Greenworks 24V battery to make it work. If you already have other Greenworks 24V tools, it can be a sensible way to expand your kit without buying a second battery.
What you’ll notice in use
A pole saw is one of those tools that’s either genuinely convenient or, frustratingly, not much better than a basic saw. Here, the focus is on speed and cut quality. The 20cm bar pole saw is listed at 8m/s, and the cutting setup uses dual action blades that move together at the same time. The pitch is cleaner, faster cuts compared with a single cutting blade.
There’s also an automatic oiler for the pole saw. That’s the sort of small feature that matters more than people think, because keeping the right oil level helps you stay consistent through longer pruning sessions.
Imagine you’re tidying up an overhanging tree branch near the back fence: with the tool extended on the pole, you can work from a more comfortable standing position, then swap over to the pole hedge trimmer action when you need to tidy the hedge line. It’s exactly the kind of workflow a 2-in-1 pole tool is built for.
Where it shines (and why it fits larger gardens)
This tool is positioned for heavier, more extended garden maintenance rather than occasional tidying. If you’re regularly pruning higher branches or trimming hedge growth that doesn’t want to behave, the split shaft and pole form factor are meant to give you reach and control.
The dual action approach is also a meaningful choice for hedge trimming and shaping, where you want smoother, more predictable cut lines rather than the “chatter” you can get from simpler cutting mechanisms.
Important limitations before you buy
As useful as this sounds, there are some clear boundaries. The pole saw is not intended for branches beyond 18mm, and the guidance also warns against cutting branches that are too hard or too strong. In other words, don’t treat it like a general-purpose chainsaw replacement.
The manufacturer also asks you to stop immediately if you’re trying to cut something unsuitable, then clean the branches. That’s not just a safety note, it’s a signal that performance is tuned for specific branch thickness and condition.
Finally, because it’s tool-only, don’t assume you’re getting a battery and charger. If you don’t already own a compatible Greenworks 24V battery, you may end up spending more overall than you first expected.

Who it suits best
It’s a good fit if you have a larger garden and you want one cordless system that can handle both higher pruning and pole hedge trimming, while keeping storage and clutter down.
It makes sense if you already own a Greenworks 24V battery system, because the tool-only approach can reduce repeat purchases.
It may not suit you if your main jobs involve thicker or unusually tough branches (over 18mm, or very hard growth), because the guidance is quite specific about stopping if things don’t cut properly.
Final verdict
Worth considering if you want a practical 2-in-1 pole saw and pole hedge trimmer for routine garden maintenance—especially if you’re already in the Greenworks 24V ecosystem. The automatic oiler, dual action blades and 20cm pole saw bar are the sort of features that point to day-to-day usability.
But it’s not the right choice if you’re expecting it to tackle heavy, stubborn branches beyond the stated limit, or if you don’t already have a suitable 24V battery to go with it. In that case, the “tool only” nature could leave you short of what you need, and you’d be better off planning your purchase around a complete cordless kit.
