Terratek Cordless Hedge Trimmer 20V 1HR Fast Charge Hedge Cutter with 2X Batteries and Charger Included.

Product Information

Due to this trimmer’s one-piece folding body and ultralight frame, I’ve reached for it more than the rest for any odd jobs around the garden. You can then trim the top of the hedge from ground level, although it can take a bit of getting used to as you can’t easily see what you’re doing. It did struggle with a few of the thicker branches on my overgrown beech hedge, but it worked well on thinner material. By nature, pole trimmers which extend to longer lengths have the potential to be slightly more unwieldy as you need to control something that is further away from you. The hedge sweeper attachment is a very clever idea, but I found that it made the hedge trimmer feel even more unbalanced due to the extra weight that it placed on the cutting head.

We also inspected the blade material and sharpness to ensure efficient cutting performance – models with hardened steel blades were given the best ratings as these had the perfect combination of durability, sharpness, and resistance to wear and corrosion.One of the most outstanding things about this hedge trimmer is that it will charge in as little as one hour thanks to the fast charge feature.

from handle to head, which allows you to trim low hedges without having to bend down and strain your back. So, either look for a manageable ‘un-extended’ length, or consider having a separate trimmer for close-range jobs.You should only need to trim them once a year, but you may wish to trim them twice if you want to keep a very neat, pristine shape. Although a secondary D-handle hasn’t been provided, Greenworks makes up for that by providing an adjustable shoulder strap – you can fix it to any point on the pole to give you the balance that you need when holding it. Not only does the head tilt to 8 different positions, but the rear handle can be rotated too, enabling you to easily cut hedges from awkward angles. Most telescopic trimmers, even when not extended, can still be quite long (somewhere in the region of 170 cm).

There’s nothing wrong with the way this extandable hedge trimmer attacks branches, but I can’t work out why Einhell have chosen to split the motor section in two. Instead, Ryobi have used reinforced plastic poles to create a long reach hedge trimmer of seemingly titanium strength.But let me warn you, owing to how good this one is, if you start with it, it will set a high benchmark for all other cordless tools that follow! SAFETY: Fitted with an integrated hand safety guard this cordless trimmer also uses a 2 stage safety start trigger system. The Terratek Hedge Trimmer comes with a thick and durable plastic cover which requires a certain method to remove, allowing it to stay securely attached during operation.
