What hedge trimmer shall i buy ?

Hi All

I previously had a cheap hedge trimmer from Argos and it was useless. Very heavy, short blade, noisy and terrible cut.

I am looking to purchase a new one and it will mainly be used to cut/shape shrubs and some box i have.

Anyone recommend anything, want it ti be electric.

Cheers

 

Indeed darling Woo but by 'eck those electric ones do the job fast which makes one a happy camper (or gardener if you like) when you have 100 foot of hedge to clip like us.:hehe:Hel.xxx.

 

I bought an electric hedge trimmer from Lidle and have been very happy with the cut, the noise level and the price.

 

If the hedge is high get one of them bending ones. I only have the normal black and decker trimmers but they dont cut through thick branches very well. The bending ones i borrowed from a neighbour extend out so far too and make it loads easier to cut the tops of my trees, keeps it quite square too.

 

Just bought a 63cm Spears & Jackson one on offer in Argos. Only £33 from £50.

Think i need lessons though, given my shrubs a bit of a harsh pruning. Will post some pics on my other thread later.
