Question! what is the difference (apart from the obvious) between
using a chain saw and a trimmer for doing the same type of work i.e.
cropping back bushes and scrub etc? - will a chain saw TRIM a hedge?
NO.
I would appreciate a quick reply so that I can buy one tomorrow and save
me a few days of my holiday!!

A chainsaw cuts branches, logs etc, a hedgetrimmer cuts hedges, bushes etc.

One is a saw to cut through objects, like you would use a handheld
wood/metal saw. The other has blades that cut through the surrounds, much
like an electric shaver on your face.
