It is in the nature of garden shredders that it's not always convenient to have to plug them into a power socket. Historically the only alternative was a petrol machine but that comes with its own inconveniences. The new REDAXXO 36/25 cordless garden shredder effectively bridges the gap between these options by running on Power X-Change batteries - giving you all the freedom of a petrol machine without the hassles of maintenance or safely storing fuel. Shredders are powerful machines so the REDAXXO 36/25 has a 36v motor instead of the standard 18v motors in used of the Power X-Change system. However it doesn't require a separate type of battery as instead it uses Twin-Pack technology and runs on two standard 18v Power X-Change batteries simultaneously. During use, the batteries are protected from dirt, rain and shock by the hinged battery cover.
