And if you do come across something thicker or tougher, the GE-HC 18 has a party trick: the trimmer head can be switched for a mini-chainsaw attachment, with a 20mm blade that’s perfect for slicing through thicker branches or pruning your trees. We gave the batteries a full charge, then took each trimmer out to battle with a mix of heavy conifer, box, laurel, and hornbeam hedges.However, when you’ve got masses of hedge to trim – particularly dense conifers or woody laurel – you’ll be glad to have it.

Toolstop Limited is a credit broker, not a lender and is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FRN 737231). Battery life depends on the power of the motor and the capacity of the batteries included with the trimmer, though you’ll find some trimmers sold without a battery or with a choice of different capacities. Once the height of your hedges reaches above 7ft or so, keeping the top neatly clipped can be a nightmare. We tested each trimmer’s ability to cut through thicker branches – between 10mm and 30mm in diameter, depending on the maximum cutting width – and also looked at how well they coped with the thinner, springy stems of an overgrown box hedge, which can sometimes jam up larger trimmers.The DUH751RT is a compact and lightweight cordless Hedge Trimmer, with a 750mm cutting edge, powered by an 18V Li-ion LXT slide type battery (not supplied).

And even with a longer runtime, the rotating handle kept things comfortable for both horizontal and vertical trimming. Powered by one 18V LXT lithium ion batter (not included) the hedge trimmer boasts a 75cm double sided blade with triple edged cutting teeth that are designed to capture the branches and hold them in place while cutting.This tool is also equipped with a Battery protection circuit, which protects the battery from damages sustained by high temperature or overload current. It uses the same Power For All batteries as other tools in the Power For All Alliance – including tools from Flymo, Husqvarna, and Bosch – and you can get 45 minutes from a 2.

It’s also brilliant when you’re trying to shape or sculpt a smaller shrub or hedge, even if you don’t go in for topiary replicas of your pets or trendy cloud effects. For once, the 20mm maximum cutting width seems fairly accurate as it deals with chunky branches without any serious trouble. Most of our product pages have a link to the warranty procedure for that manufacturer and we encourage you to follow the instructions on these pages which will normally direct you to the manufacturers helpline.

What’s more, hedge trimmers by their very nature make it all too easy to cut through the cord if you’re clipping at an angle without paying due attention. The company evolves constantly, fulfilling the needs of its clients, aiming for more user-friendly design and experience. Those with lengthy or tougher hedges will soon want something with a bit more reach and clout, but this is a great tool for a speedy trim or getting your unruly hedges ship-shape two or three times a year.
