About this deal
However, that’s not necessarily a bad thing, as it means that the machine feels more balanced when you hold it. This is helped by the fact that it can be used with or without its extension pole – some other hedge trimmers don’t give you the option of removing the middle piece. You will need to use a good grip technique when you use a pole hedge trimmer. Because it is longer than a smaller handheld unit, you will need to make sure your balance is stable before you start using it.
The seven positions that the head of this machine rotates to also add to its versatility, as does the twisting rear handle . The D-handle that comes with this hedge trimmer is adjustable too. This is quite an important feature, as some hedge trimmers don’t even come with a D-handle. In terms of reach, add the extension pole in and this hedge trimmer stretches out to 2.6m long . As mentioned, it can be used without the extension too, which shortens it down to 2.1m.Using a handheld cordless hedge trimmer is simple. Many of the makes and models we offer have easy circular handholds, so you know exactly where to place your grip. Because you will most likely be using these at hip, waist, or chest height, they are easier to balance. Another downside to the shoulder strap was that it simply wasn’t very good. It didn’t really help with how heavy this machine felt. Lighter hedge trimmers may be able to get away with a standard-style shoulder strap, but this one would have benefited from a strap that was better designed to take the weight.
Use it slowly and gently, as any sharp movements could either bring you off balance or take a chunk out of your hedge!
