Why does the CMCHTS860E1 use 60V MAX instead of the V20 platform?
The 60V MAX battery delivers more than three times the watt-hour capacity of a single V20 battery at the same ampere-hour rating, which means more sustained power for longer cutting sessions. Craftsman uses the 60V MAX platform on their highest-demand outdoor tools where V20 cannot deliver the same output.
Is the 24-inch blade meaningfully better than 22 inches for hedge trimming?
On long, straight hedge runs, 24 inches covers more per stroke and adds up over an extended session. For most shaped shrubs and topiaries, 22 and 24 inch blades feel similar. The 24-inch blade has a practical advantage on tall, dense hedgerows where fewer passes per section saves time.
What does brushless mean on the CMCHTS860E1 in real use?
The brushless motor draws power more efficiently than a brushed design, runs cooler over longer sessions, and maintains blade speed more consistently through dense or woody growth. Paired with the 60V MAX battery, it delivers the sustained performance needed for larger hedge maintenance tasks.
Does the 60V MAX battery from the CMCHTS860E1 work with other CRAFTSMAN 60V tools?
Yes. CRAFTSMAN's 60V MAX battery system is shared across compatible outdoor tools. The 2.5Ah battery and charger included in this kit work with other CRAFTSMAN 60V MAX tools in the lineup.
Who should buy the CMCHTS860E1 over the V20 hedge trimmers?
The 60V MAX CMCHTS860E1 is the right choice for users with large properties, long hedgerows, or dense growth that pushes a 20V tool's limits. If your hedge trimming is occasional or on smaller shrubs, the V20 options at lower cost cover those needs. The 860E1 is for users who want the extra power and longer sustained runtime that the 60V platform provides.
