About this deal

The compact body of the trimmer has been engineered to be 10% lighter than previous models in the range, but it still can’t compete with the lightness of the Bosch above. Cordless (battery-powered) hedge trimmers are more portable and won’t need a power point or an extension cable. Once the battery is charged, you can start trimming. Battery Lithium-ion batteries are increasingly replacing Ni-Cad and often have higher voltages and capacity.
