What are the benefits of a small cordless hedge trimmer?
Cordless hedge trimmers are quieter and lighter, making them much easier to manoeuvre. No matter how wide your garden or tall your hedge, a cordless hedge trimmer will allow you to easily reach and move around, a distinct advantaged to petrol or corded versions. You’ll have no extension leads or cords to worry about and, with the significant improvements in battery technology, the power and battery life won’t leave you short either.
Lightweight
Petrol hedge trimmers are usually quite heavy. Their heavy engine and fuel tank can make garden work more labour intensive. Cordless hedge trimmers are lightweight and manoeuvrable, making them much more comfortable to use over extended periods of time.
Greater Reach
Cordless hedge trimmers are light and well balanced making reaching up and around tall or large hedges much easier. Enjoy the flexibility of moving around your garden, uninhibited by cords and extension leads, reaching into places that would otherwise be difficult with a corded hedge trimmer.
Quiet Operation
Ditch the ear protectors and enjoy a more pleasant environment while you’re trimming hedges. Cordless hedge trimmers are much quieter during operation which is particularly good news for owners of smaller gardens surrounded by lots of neighbours. Cordless hedge trimmers won’t vibrate as intensely as petrol models.
Do I need an extendable cordless hedge trimmer?
If you have taller hedges or need to reach to trim along the top of a hedge, you may want to invest in an extendable cordless hedge trimmer. Let’s face it; balancing precariously on a ladder while holding a large, oscillating blade above your head is not the safest of activities! Not only is it not safe, it’s also a lot of work as you’ll constantly need to move the ladder along as you work your way along the hedge.
Sometimes referred to as a telescopic hedge trimmer, an extendable cordless hedge trimmer is useful for hedges above head height or cutting along the top of hedges where it can be awkward to reach. It has a fixed or extendable shaft that allows you to cut taller hedges effortlessly with the distinct advantage of a comfortable and solid footing. You can also set the blade at various angles to the shaft, usually between 45 and 90 degrees, so you can cut the top of a hedge while standing on the ground. You’ll enjoy a neatly trimmed hedge with less effort in less time.
