Has anyone had any experience of either long-reach or articulated hedge
trimmers? Are they
any good? I am very unsteady on step ladders and find it difficult to be
up there and use
trimmers so I always miss a lot at the top of the hedge.

A neighbour has a Stihl one, the separate engine and then you buy the
accessories you want type, that he uses for a very large Beech hedge. He
reckons is excellent.
