Hedge trimmers are available in numerous different styles and sizes, in this article we are going to explain some advantages of the most popular types on offer.
There are two types of electric hedge trimmer available, the first type is one where you will need an electric extension cable to operate the trimmer. If you have a large garden hedge that needs trimming then this type is considered to be the best electric trimmer to use, but there is a safety consideration when using an electric trimmer with an extension cable. You should always make sure the cable is not tangled up in the hedge where you are cutting, people have been known to cut through the cable by accident, always try to make sure the cable is on the floor behind you when cutting your hedge.
18 Volt Power Tools
The other type of electric hedge trimmer is the battery operated type, these are known as cordless hedge trimmers and are extremely useful for cutting in those hard to get to places. You can get this type with a 12 volt battery which on one full charge will probably give you about 45 minutes of cutting time, this length of time will alter depending on the thickness of the branches you are cutting. With a battery powered hedge trimmer you can cut up to eight millimeter thick branches when cutting your garden hedge. The one big advantage with a battery operated hedge trimmer is that you will not have any electric cable lying around for you to cut in to, and being very light is easy to use when reaching over the top of your hedge.
There is another type of cordless trimmer this is the petrol or gas type, these can be reasonably heavy to use and produce some noise when in operation. Landscape gardeners tend to use this type because of the power they provide in cutting branches 3/4" thick with ease, if you have a big garden hedge with thick branches then you should look at a petrol type as an option for cutting your hedge. But for the average garden hedge the cordless hedge trimmers are extremely capable of producing a great looking hedge in a reasonably quick time, one consideration is that petrol hedge trimmers are more expensive than the electric type trimmers due to the engine required and the more robust nature of the trimmers.
One thing you should always remember to do when you have purchased your trimmer no matter which types you choose, this is to read the manufactures safety operation guides carefully they are there to help protect you from any unwanted incidents with your hedge trimmer.
If your garden hedge is higher than you can reach and you are not comfortable working of ladders then there is a solution, there is a long reach type of trimmer you can buy which can be cordless if that is what you want. These are excellent for reaching those high spots in your hedge, they are capable of giving you an extra 1.5 metres in reach to cut your hedge. They are also good for cutting low down branches in your hedge, this means you can cut the branches without bending your back.
I hope this article has given you information you can use to go purchase your new hedge trimmer, and enjoy trimming your garden hedge so it looks amazing.
