Worx Pole Saw Attachment
Most of the time, weed whackers aren’t the tool for trimming trees. But throw this universal Worx Pole Saw attachment onto the end of a string trimmer, and you’ll be pruning leaves and branches up to 12-1/2-ft. high. That will help you shape your trees aesthetically and keep them healthy.

Worx Hedge Trimmer Attachment
The dual-action blades on this hedge trimmer attachment run 10 inches in diameter, which Worx claims is wider than any other brush cutter attachment on the market. A wider blade means fewer passes over a bush to trim it. Plus, the attachment weighs just 4.42-lbs., making it easier to maneuver and operate over long periods.
