Product OK read another review about the battery life lasting 45 mins but probably only lasted me half an hour that’s the only issue with it other than that Strimmer did the job I needed it to do charges up fast enough to go back and finish job
I’ve only had it for two weeks now. It’s very handy for trimming the side of my 4 metre high rear leylandi hedge especially the top which is over 1 metre in depth. It’s slightly lighter than my main 66 cm blade mains hedge trimmer, but at full extension and at an angle you will feel the weight especially when up on a 4 metre ladder. The battery lasted much longer than I expected and it charges quickly. Happy overall and would recommend. In May I’ll use it to trim the top of my front hedge which is only 2 metres high but will use my mains trimmer for the sides.
Brilliant cutter, sturdy, not too heavy for us ladies, I have an old farmhouse with10ft high hedgerow & lots of trees & bushes, cuts them really easily, battery holds it’s charge really well approx 1 hour, great price for such a good cutter, would highly recommend!
Great value for money, ignore it being heavy in the reviews. Its well made and with 2 batteries supplied just fantastic. Proofs in the pudding about this Tool It worked perfectly well with me on a ladder and 10ft edge I’m so pleased with this trimmer. Remember peeps don’t believe everything you read this is a marvellous addition to your tool shed.
As others have said, this is remarkably heavy in use as the weight sits towards the front end and the strap is positioned towards the back. Following a previous reviewers advice (thank you!) I manage to fashion an additional strap towards the front which then joined with the existing. Also found it easier as a right handed person to use the on switch in my left hand.
Once this was ‘remodelled’ it was great. Cuts well, minimal jamming, easy to change angle and a good reach across width of hedge. Good battery life, if you have a lot of hedges it is worthwhile getting the additional battery. Overall I am very pleased with purchase.
Overall I think it’s a worthwhile purchase. Hope it’s as durable as it feels.
It’s light weight for what it is but anything hanging of the end of a 2 or 3 metre pole can be be cumbersome to handle. The batteries are small and light so don’t offer much balance to the weight of the machine on the other end. Although small (only 1500mAHr) one battery will provide enough power to do about as much cutting as most are likely to want to do in one hit. With clearing up time in between and fast charging of the second battery you can achieve close to continuous operation if you are that enthusiastic! My only criticism is that they could have made the extension pole a detachable option so that the handle/trigger could be mounted directly to the cutter for close up work.
It required a very long extension lead, and I have cut through the cable three times now! I needed a stepladder, wooden blocks to go under the feet, someone to hold the ladder steady, ear-defenders and some risky stretches to reach the high bits.
Life just got a whole lot easier. All I needed was gloves and goggles. This machine is a lot quieter.
I researched all the other main makes and chose this one for several reasons – all of which turned out to be vital:
It is extendible without having to insert a separate extension piece. All it needs is to unscrew the big plastic knob and then extend it. Very simple.
It is not as heavy as some of the others, but it is still heavy. You certainly know you’ve spent time cutting!
It has two batteries. Each one cut a lot of hedges. At my mid seventies age, two batteries last for as much as I have the energy to cut, so it’s a natural limiter.
It’s very well made indeed.
It was around 100 less than the next choice, the two batteries were the clincher.
TIPS
1. Being right-handed, it was more comfortable to operate the switch with my left hand.
2. When assembling, the part with the motor pushes into the other section, carrying the battery. There is a sprung domed button which will pop out through the small location hole when it’s been pushed in properly. That last little bit took a firm push. Make absolutely certain that you are pushing it in the right way round.
3.The strap needed loosening to fit me, when my head and arm were pushed through the loop.
IMPORTANT UPDATE
I’ve just used it again and life got a whole lot easier when I added a strap loop, made out of cable ties and gaffer tape, at the other end of the handle. See the photo. Now it isn’t heavy and I could use it all day if I needed to. Putting the strap on that loop meant that it is now balanced on the strap and, when I extended it, the weight was in the right place whereas before, it made it a lot heavier.
I might make something a bit more permanent but it works fine now.
Lightweight long reach – far easer on the arms than a petrol version. This is my second one , the first was caught a few times on thick branches and wrecked the internal cogs . The Hawthorn was subsequently cut to shape by tractor , but this is great to trim new shoots before they get too thick & spiny in late summer.
Product is good and arrived ahead of expected delivery date
I have used it a couple of times and it makes the arduous task of trimming conifers much easie
Very pleased with is – I hope it last as I love – if it gives up I will be back to add to this review but so far so good.
It is easy to assemble how ever it is important to make sure the contact points are properly engaged.
Good piece of kit. Make’s light work of cutting. Good charge life & adequately powerful, if a little heavy. On the whole, well worth i
Used for cutting back brambles that were probably 20 years old struggled a bit with some of the thicker ones but generally perfectly adequate.
No more electric cable to cut through and no need for the wobbly step ladder to reach top of the hedge.
I managed to trim both sides of rear garden and the hedge out the front easily and neatly on the same battery which still had power to do more.
The length adjustment and angle of cutting blade are easy to adjust in seconds.
The spare battery is handy to have on standby if you have a larger than average garden.
My only criticism is that’s it’s a little on the heavy side and after trimming for an hour non stop you feel it in the shoulder the next day.
The quality feels very good and solid and for the price I managed to secure this trimmer I am very satisfied with the purchase.
Assembled as per instructions, made two small cuts went to make third unit was completely dead had to return for refund.
Tried out today. Does job well and manoeuvres to angles you want. I’m 5′ lady i found bit heavy be no problem for stronger people. Handy for high areas beats a ladder for sure.
First of all, I will state that I’m a Makita fan. Most of my electrical garden & DIY equipment is Makita brand and mostly cordless/battery operated. I am a gardener and was looking for a long reach battery operated hedge cutter. I read a few articles, watched some You Tube video’s and then read even more articles on what was available. I was erring toward a Makita but the 300 price tag was making my eyes water, so I eventually convinced myself that at a third of the cost this Terratek would possibly fit the bill. And if it didn’t I wouldn’t be massively out of pocket. I did order an extra battery as I felt just the one wouldn’t be sufficient. I’ve probably used it to around 20 – 25 hedges of varying size and constitution so far. The blade has kept its edge and no degradation of the batteries that I can tell.
So 9 months in, what’s the pros and cons?
Pro’s –
Incredibly light, which in turn makes it easily manoeuvrable.
Telescopic, for those hard to reach higher bits, no need for a ladder.
Adjustable head, very useful.
Battery life, amazing. I have just cut the top of a 25 metre hedge which is a mixture of Ivy, Cherry Laurel and Hawthorne. I had to do both sides and total time for that bit was about an hour +/-. The battery indicator was on Amber. Which for a 1.5a/h battery is amazingly good. And recharging takes no time.
Cons –
Just the one and really I’m nit picking with this one. The balance is biased toward the head, a heavier/larger battery would make it better balanced. But in reality it’s not that bad. Just makes your arms ache a little if you’re working at full extension and lower than 45 degrees to the vertical.
Would I buy another? – In a heartbeat.
Quite large to manoeuvre but not to heavy, used for medium height shrubs. Makes the job of cutting back shrubs so much easier and saves a lot of time. Battery powered is definitely convenient, power pack charges quickly and lasts well.
This item is really good value for money. Works really well and very versatile. It was bought as a gift for my hubby and he is impressed with it and has had no issues using it.
Initially frustrated by getting the assembly correct, a YouTube video put me straight. I was sceptical about the battery life and power but was honestly astonished. It trimmed a 12ft high, 30 ft long conifer hedge without running out of battery. Quite heavy to work, the shoulder strap is a necessity. I recommend this product which is great value for money.
I found this tool simple to assemble and reasonably east to use and manoeuvre. There’s a limit to how light a trimmer on the end of a long pole that has the power to cut through twigs can be, but this tool seems to strike a good balance. Any more powerful or with a better battery life would mean significantly more weight. I was pleased with the purchase as it performed about as well as I could have expected
I’ve owned a cordless Terratek grass trimmer for a year which has been (and continues to be) fabulous. When I saw Terratek did a cordless cutter I went for it because of the first hand use of the grass strimmer, but also because they use the same battery pack, so I now have 3 batteries to use across these devices, which is great from a convenience perspective due to a large amount of maintenance the garden needs.
I terms of operation, set up, cutting, blade angles, weight etc, I’m really happy with this product. It is mid-market I’d say, but very good already for the money as build quality too seems like it is deigned to last.
Love this. Was able to trim the shrubs between our home and neighbours. Great for reaching up high whilst remaining on the ground. Saved a fortune on paying someone to do this for me. Would definitely recommend.
After reading plenty of reviews decided to purchase this product. Very easy to put together and battery very light. It does have a strap which makes it easier to handle. Being 5ft 1inch it was still very top heavy for me, but successfully did a good job on the hedge which was 8ft tall.
Good reach and battery life. Cuts very well. Great value.
Absolutely fantastic bit of kit, made a 4hr hedge trimming task take just under a hour, lightweight and easy to use, money well spent.
Delivered on time, easy to assemble (if you follow the instructions regarding the ‘pins’) and feels good quality.
We have 6 foot hedges around our garden, this trimmer is more convenient and easier to use than our mains one. The weight is at the cutter end but it’s easy to manage with the help of the shoulder strap provided.
Up to now I’ve used it for about 30 minutes on one charge so battery life seems good too.
It was very easy to assemble and charged very quickly.
+ good reach and blade length. Simple adjustment.
+ Sharp, good cutter.
+ 3 position trimming head (approx 30+/-)
+Rapid charge battery 40 mins max first time, less subsequently. Useful charge indicator light.
– do not find the harness strap helpful.
Ref. other reviews.
This is top heavy – not unexpectedly nor unduly so.
It’s clumsy to manoeuvre but manageable, with care. Have used it x3 now. Apple tree, wisteria (these never cut with a trimmer before but tried for ease) and a pittosporum (getting too big). Apple will need a tidy up later for neat cut branch ends. Wisteria trim made easy . Pitto’ trim worked a treat. Very pleased with this purchase. Even if it lasts only 2 years it’s cheaper than tool hire.

Very powerful a lot stronger than my old one well made a bit on the heavy side very pleased
I had an overgrown 20x2x2 metre privet hedge which I had struggled to maintain but this long reach trimmer made short work of it. I am 72 years old and was worried that the weight might prove too much but it was fine.
It’s very good for the price, charge lasts well but it is very heavy so a little awkward for ladies to handle but theirs no getting round this with these extending trimmers.
I can’t rate this high enough as you can see from my pictures, it’s will do any job. Love it.
Product used to trim out of reach hedging. Delivery was prompt and the product was as stated.
I was worried I wouldn’t manage with these hedge cutter’s as I’m only five feet tall. However, I’m over the moon with them so far . They are very light …………well they do get heavy after a while but make a really good job of the hedges and shrubs. They are easy to put together and charge quickly.
I can honestly highly recommend them, they’re easy and light enough for small women to use as well . Delighted with them thank you !
Totally impressed with this product, excellent for reaching high out of the way places, cut through established hedging/Ivy/ smaller shrub branches no problem. The only thing I found, when on full extension the weight is unbalanced and a bit difficult to hold. Having said that a stronger person will probably not have any problems. On the whole I’d fully recommend, it paid for itself the very first day I used it. Oh…and it holds a charge very well, I done an awful lot on the first full charge of battery.
Makes cutting hedges so easy. Particularly like it can be manoeuvred into a horizontal position to go across top of hedge. My son found it quite heavy to hold though but didn’t need ladders to cut hedge. Much quicker than usual. Would recommend you do need to go on YouTube to find how to get it to work. For some reason the relevant bit is not in the instruction booklet. Realised that on the box a sticker saying go to YouTube was very important.
Still a bit heavy to use but better than using hand shears
Easy to use, was lighter than I first thought. Did everything it said it would do. First time ever using such a tool.
This is a good value cordless strimmer. Whilst it is heavier than I expected it does the job
This is exactly what I need for doing those hedges where it is too inconvenient to run an extension wire. It is not as “tough” or Gung Ho as my elderly mains powered Gardena trimmer (which I abuse dreadfully!)., but as something which I can just pick up and use everywhere, and without the boring prep of laying out cables, it is brilliant.
Do take care when assembling – the two parts really do need to be slotted firmly together – as it says in the instructions!
C h r i s
Used for my garden hedge which is around 7 feet high and this was perfect. Work wells at ninety degrees to make the top horizontal. Good battery life
Great machine…really useful…very heavy after 5 or so minutes ….but overall really good
This product was used for very long high hedge. Would recommend. Excellent buy.
Easy to use and very versatile.
Cordless is so much easier and the reach is excellent for high bushes etc
Only used it once to trim tree back and shape it,did what I needed battery life ok pleased with performance.
Arrived the day after I bought it, shame I had to wait 2 weeks before I could use it due to the weather!
Instructions on assembly, ensuring that connection in the main handle, are in the correct position making contact with battery.
Trimmer did not work, Terratek do not want trimmer returned, awaiting refund, Roger Bishop
Liked my product but my battery stopped working after 5 uses. Contacted supplier and whole new unit and battery sent out within 2 days. Great customer service. Thank you.
I have only used it a few times so cannot comment on battery life but other than that it works well and I would recommend it.
Well built, great length of reach, easy to use. Really impressed with i
Product arrived well packaged and on time. Instructions very easy to follow and extension facility gives you lots of reach. None of these items are really lightweight because of the fact that there is a motor on board plus high grade steel cutters, but this hedge trimmer is definitely one of the lightest and is provided with a shoulder strap for support assistance. I would highly recommend this hedge trimmer.
You can pay “silly money” for these products which is fine if you trim hedges for a living and can justify paying 400 to 500 for the equipment, but we have an infrequent use and I thought around 100 was closer to our budget. This Terratek hedge trimmer had some excellent reviews and I can honestly say that so far the hedge trimmer has met and indeed exceeded our expectations. Each battery lasts at least 1 hour and the charger can charge the spare battery in 1 hour, so theoretically you could continue hedge trimming all day by simply swapping over the batteries !

othing to dislike about this hedgecutter it is well designed and cuts well
Bought this to replace my other corded trimmer after cutting the wire too many times! The mobility provided by going cordless is great and speeds the process of cutting the hedges considerably. The long handle and tilting angled head mean you can reach lots of places you cant with other hedge cutters. I wish you could completely remove the handle and still use the trimmer so that it is easier to wield closer too, as it is still a little hefty, but this is a small gripe and I am still glad I bought it!
Ideal for hedge cutting on the allotment so no power. Ideal for height.
This is a brilliant piece of equipment, it’s light, cut.s well and large branches and the battery pasta long time
For the price this is a pretty decent hedge trimmer. I’m a women and found it heavy but not unduly so and I could manage short bursts at a time. You have to get the angle of the cutter right for high hedges – just takes a bit of trial and error. Overall happy with produc
I find it quite heavy and awkward to use but I am under 5 feet tall, I tried it out yesterday and it cut through the overgrown hedge like butter. I have not as yet tried it with the extended handle. I found it easy to assemble, the instructions were very clear and well written. I think I will get considerable use from this hedge trimmer if the weather cooperates.
Excellent reach, I find it a perfect weight but my Wife finds it a little heavy.
Was easy to assemble. Used it other day to tackle my front hedge. I used the trimmer for well over 45 mins and it still had plenty if charge left. It handled my forsythia very well and I was impressed. A good buy.
Like the ease of use – after a while you will have arms like Popeyes
I have had this nearly two years now and use it a lot as I have a 1.5 acre site, plus a long lane I share with my neighbours farm. So a lot of use for this hedge trimmer and so far it doesn’t dissapoint. I did purchase two extra batteries and I numbered them to use them in rotation. I usually use them for about 30 minutes and put them on charge while I use the next one as I feel this is better for the batteries. Extremely pleased with my purchase and though I have two petrol trimmers too, I always choose this one as it is both lighter & easier to use.
Love it! My husband has a petrol one but its too big and heavy for me to use. This is easy to use. Cuts multiple hedges in know time. Heavier than I thought it would be but body strap helps to take some of the weight, a light weight one looked to flimsy.
Not the fittest and strongest 48 year old but can hand this machine!
can be heavy at times if used for long periods
Very pleased so far. Good quality and not too noisy
