FAST AND EFFICIENT
ANTI-BLOCKING SYSTEM FOR CONTINUOUS CUTTING
If a branch is not cut through on the first attempt, the tool changes the running direction of the blades. This Anti-Blocking System thereby facilitates uninterrupted cutting when other hedge trimmers are ready to give up. This makes cutting quicker and more efficient than with comparable products.

Easy hedge cuttingThis hedgecutter makes light work of my hedges. It’s easy to use at different angles, light weight and the battery charge is enough to cut a decent amount of hedging. It also charges quickly.

Doing a better job than I thought it would.I have plenty of hedge to keep tidy and for years have used petrol cutters. These aren’t miracle workers but if you have a well kept hedge these will be adequate to maintain it. Lighweight and easy to handle they encourage me to maintain the hedge regularly, as it’s a lot easier work than letting it grow and getting the heavier petrol ones out.

Best cordless trimmers I’ve owned.Over the years I have had cause to buy several hedge trimmers, I’ve tried cordless and normal power cord one’s.The power from mains have always proved to be better. That was until I bought these, they are excellent. The battery has a good life and one charge can cut my garden hedges several times, the battery seems to do well holding a charge when stored away. They have good cutting power and rarely jam, like the previous battery hedge trimmers I’ve owned. The position of the 2 switches, that both need to be held down for the cutters to work, are in a good position so it’s easy to move the trimmers around without straining your wrists.

A chore has become a pleasureI loathed cutting the hedges & bushes! The blades of my plug-in couldn’t cope with thicker branches which meant starting & stopping, using secateurs, then restarting, whilst always watching out for the cable. It would get tangled in branches which made the likelihood of accidentally cutting it, even greater. So, I searched for something better, battery powered, and able to cope with slightly thicker branches.This is the one I chose and what a brilliant machine! The dreaded chore has become a genuine pleasure, so much so, my son bought one and agrees wholeheartedly. The problem now is, judging when to stop! I can fill my bin in less than 20 minutes of fun – so I haven’t had a battery die on me yet.It’s s so lightweight and manoeuvrable and no cable to cut! I can stand on ladders and not worry about being dragged off when the cable gets fouled (and I fell off), or over balancing. The thicker branches are no longer a problem as the top 10cm of the blade have a different set of teeth and just cut through everything with a bit of patience and ingenuity. Really thick branches 2+cm have to be cut with secateurs, naturally, but the start-stop of previous years has ended. So have stoppages caused by jamming. The blades have not jammed – so far.I thoroughly recommend this machine.

So far I have not had to charge the battery !The Hedge-cutter is light, easy to use, and has very good teeth. I have used it to cut around 20 yards of hedge, one side only, and clear paths with thick weeds (such as cow parsley and teasles) growing through. I have also used it as a rough grass and weeds cutter taking swathes out of what should be a wildflower meadow, but is full of hogweed and dock… I charged the battery pack the day it arrived, and I have not yet re-charged it since… and I have used it to do all that work, over two days!!!Thanks to Mr. Foxi’s review, I too got “can of STIHL Superclean which is expensive but specifically made for hedge trimmers. It’s a resin solvent with lubricant”. It came from Northumbrian Garden Machinery, Hedgeley Services Powburn near Alnwick. I treated it before and after use, and it is excellent stuff, very well worth it. I am convinced that using Superclean facilitates and perhaps improves the cutter. I am so pleased that I can use the cutter so easily.

Good, very good: but limitations.I’m writing this review after a job that had taken an hour took 20+ minutes. not having to move the cable around planters, tables etc just speeded the job up no end. Absolutely changed the game.My only observation is, that I certainly don’t think the claims of the size of branch / twig they can go through match the realities.Fortunately the hedges had a lot of time spent on them over the last two years, so most the growth is winter / spring growth and it did that with no issues.I would say, on balance however, if I have to go back and do a few manual cuts, V’s the speed gain, then these are worth every penny, and I would recommend on that basis alone.
