Has anyone had any experience of either long-reach or articulated hedge

trimmers so I always miss a lot at the top of the hedge.

are also proportionately more difficult to control to achieve straightness,
since bodily movements are magnified by the distance away from their source.
They are also good for muscular development for the same reason.
