Shindaiwa launched a new lithium-ion, 56-volt cordless lineup to be sold exclusively through Shindaiwa servicing dealers. The first three models—the Shindaiwa T3000 string trimmer, the EB6000 handheld blower and the DH2000 hedge trimmer—will be available for the spring season.

As with Shindaiwa’s gas products, the new cordless line also carries five-year consumer and two-year commercial warranties. The battery carries a two-year warranty.

All three cordless tools feature brushless motors and use a shared 56-volt battery platform. The 56-volt, lithium-ion batteries come in 2 Ah and 4 Ah sizes. The tools may be purchased with or without batteries and chargers.

For the T3000 trimmer, the typical run time with the 2-Ah battery is 29 minutes with a 12-inch cutting diameter and 22 minutes with a 14-inch cutting diameter. The 4-Ah battery increases run times to 60 minutes with a 12-inch cutting diameter and 45 minutes with a 14-inch cutting diameter.

The EB6000 handheld blower is quieter than gas handheld blowers, measuring only 57 dBA, the company said. Other features include grouped controls with cruise control, a tool-less blower pipe with metal wear ring and the Posi-loc pipe connection to keep tubes tight.

The DH2000 hedge trimmer features professional grade 24-inch double-sided, double-reciprocating blades with a tip guard. Typical Run time is 65 minutes with the 2-Ah battery and 120 minutes with the 4-Ah battery.

The 2-Ah battery will fully charge in 72 minutes with the standard charger and 42 minutes using the rapid charger. The 4-Ah battery will fully charge in 150 minutes with the standard charger and 88 minutes with the rapid charger.
