Looking at Stihl/Viking. Silly prices but are they worth it ?

TIA.

I wouldn't touch cordless tools for the garden at any price, they are
almost certain to disappoint. For hedge cutters, mains electric are
fine if the cable runs aren't too long.
I don't know if you have any recent experience of modern petrol hedge
cutters - you might be surprised if you tried one, they are much
lighter and more user friendly than you might imagine (Speaking for
Stihl at any rate)
Anything Stihl sells for pros is worth every penny.
