I'd like a cordless trimmer and wonder about an electric one as
opposed to
a petrol one.
Seems then that cordless electric would not do the job properly in one
session.
GTech telescopic cordless
trimmer which was on offer through the Telegraph last year.( See
http://www.greytechnology.co.uk/HT01.php) I have found it very good,
especially for trimming soft new growth. I also bought a second battery
but so far all trimming has been done on one battery which is worn on a
waist belt.


Now that gives the inventive side of me an idea. How about a mains
electric hedge cutter powered from a belt mounted 12 volt battery and
inverter. I already own all 3 components and never use the electric hedge
cutter as I hate trailing leads, and the garden is so widespread with bits
of hedge all over the place.


No reason why not, *if* the inverter is man enough for the job *and* the
battery is also. Check the rating details on them and/or suck it and see.

This could be the answer to the other thing I hate. Screaming 2 stroke
engines.


I love them I do. In short bursts at least.
