We have a 100ft plus hedge which needs cutting both sides and these did a great job.
Would have preferred not to have. Saw blade on end better with slightly longer hedge blade but otherwise a good tool
Very good hedgecutter, easy to use and light enough to let the wife use it.
Just what I needed to clear a patch of very long grass.
I had to take out an ivy that was on a 30m long 5 m high wall, very overgrown, sides and top some thick branches, this dealt with them well. Contrary to what others have said the cutter on the end I found to be very useful with thick (up the 50mm) it cuts them with a little effort. All in all a good piece of kit for a reasonable price.
Great value for money, saw bit on the end very handy for thicker branches.
My son said a very good hedge cutter ,I’ve not used it ye
Very light weight and easy to use. Very powerful indeed
Not to heavy to use. Did a good job on overgrown hedge.
Pros:
– There’s more than enough power for general garden tasks and fairly robust hedges. It makes mince meat of my holly.
– It’s reasonably light. It’s not going to win awards but given the size and the power it packs it’s a perfectly usable weight.
– It’s a fair price for the kit.
– The cable is nice and long, so I can work an entire hedge without having to go back to move the plug.
Cons:
– Obviously it’s cabled which has inherent risks (see above)
– It has this odd, small saw bit on one side of the end of the blades. I’m not sure what it’s there for and it occasionally gets in the way.
Would happily buy another should I slice through this one (again).
Only downside was I should have tried to find longer blade. Though I was going longer than previous but clearly not.
Anyway……easy to use, lighter than previous model, cut through privet hedge and Laylandii without issue. Good long cable. Happy with purchase.
Compared with my old cutter which I had for 17 years this one is much lighter but
on initial evidence equally as good that cutting a summers growth of woody stems.
Unfortunately somebody bright spark thought it was a good idea to add a cutter
on the tip that as far as i can see is pretty useless anyway(I prefer to use loppers for odd larger stem) and in effect gets in the way when cutting as with a gap between it and the first cutting blade it prevents the smooth movement of the blade from right to left as branches tend to get caught in the slot that
has no cutter, stopping the movement in its tracks and often causing the cutter to stop. Shame!
Cutting from left to right is a dream.
Take the cutter away and you would have an even better piece of kit.
Hopefully they will redesign it at the first opportunity
