The Webb 40V Cordless Multi-Tool is a pretty compelling bit of kit for anyone who wants to make garden maintenance a little easier without filling the shed with lots of separate power tools. Rather than buying individual machines for trimming grass, cutting back weeds, maintaining hedges and pruning trees, Webb has bundled all these jobs into one versatile cordless system. It is a sensible idea, and one that makes a lot of sense for anyone with a reasonably sized garden and plenty of outdoor jobs to tackle.
At the heart of the system is a brushless motor powered by two 20V, 4Ah batteries, which work together to deliver 40V performance. The brushless design is a welcome inclusion, offering improved efficiency and helping to reduce wear compared with conventional brushed motors. We also appreciate the freedom that comes with cordless gardening equipment. There is no petrol to worry about, no fuel to mix and no extension lead to trail across the lawn while we work. Charge the batteries, fit the attachment we need and get started.
The real selling point, of course, is the range of attachments supplied. The 30cm line trimmer is ideal for tidying lawn edges, tackling grass around fences and trees, and reaching awkward corners that a mower cannot manage. It is a straightforward but useful tool, and having one included means we can keep the garden looking neat without having to get another machine out of the shed. For tougher jobs, the brushcutter attachment provides a more substantial cutting option, making it better suited to thicker weeds and overgrown patches of vegetation.

The pole saw is another useful addition. With a 20cm cutting bar, it gives us the ability to reach suitable branches above head height, making routine tree maintenance more manageable. It is particularly handy for dealing with awkward growth without having to rely on a separate pruning saw for every job. As with any pole saw, though, we still need to be sensible about what we attempt to cut, and larger branches or anything near overhead power lines should be left to appropriately equipped professionals.
The 40cm pole hedge trimmer completes the package, providing a convenient way to maintain taller hedges and shrubs. Its extended reach is a definite advantage, reducing the amount of stretching required when working on higher growth. Between the hedge trimmer, pole saw and ground-level cutting attachments, this is a remarkably flexible collection of tools for a single purchase.
We also like the top-mounted motor design, which is intended to improve balance and handling. That matters when using a long-reach attachment, as these tools can become tiring when held at awkward angles for extended periods. However, versatility does not necessarily mean lightweight operation. The complete tool can weigh around 4–5kg with a battery fitted, depending on the attachment, and the pole-mounted accessories can feel heavier during prolonged use. We would recommend taking breaks during longer sessions, particularly when working overhead.

Battery performance is another consideration. The supplied pair of 4Ah batteries and twin USB-C charger mean we have everything needed to get going, without having to make an additional purchase straight away. Webb quotes a maximum runtime of around 25 minutes, although the actual figure will vary depending on the attachment and the demands of the job. That should be sufficient for many routine maintenance tasks, but anyone with a particularly large garden may find themselves wanting additional batteries or planning their work around charging times.
There is also the question of storage. Although the multi-tool saves us from buying several complete machines, the interchangeable attachments still need somewhere to live, and we will need to keep them organised to make the most of the system. Getting familiar with changing attachments and setting everything up properly also takes a little time, but that is a reasonable trade-off for the flexibility on offer.
Overall, we think the Webb 40V Cordless Multi-Tool is a very appealing package. Its combination of grass trimming, brushcutting, hedge maintenance and pruning makes it a genuinely practical option for keeping a garden under control throughout the year. The included batteries and charger add to the convenience, while the brushless motor and cordless design make it a modern alternative to juggling several individual tools.
It will not replace every piece of garden equipment, and people with only a small lawn or a single hedge may be better off buying a dedicated tool for their needs. For everyone else, though, we can see the appeal. It is versatile, sensibly equipped and potentially a real space-saver, making the Webb multi-tool a worthwhile investment for anyone looking to simplify their garden maintenance without sacrificing useful functionality.
