Hedge Trimmer Recommendations

Machine "balance" in use. Cost - not so concerned but want vfm I do *a lot* of hedges (I do two neighbours' as well as my own collection). I use the Bosch AHS 55-26 (the 55 is the length in cm. The 26 *may* be the branch diameter in mm!) This is so good for my purposes that when my first one stopped dead two years ago (no apparent reason) [1] I bought another, which must have cut miles of tough hedges by now. It's not light (but I am not a heavyweight), but it has very good balance. I always buy Bosch these days using, I'm ashamed to admit, Amazon - where the details and comparisons and reviews are always so well laid out. You need to have a feel of one though -- the "sheds" like B&Q are a good place to go, because they usual have them all lined up, out of their boxes -- and they also have keen prices. Good luck John [1] Despite my allegiance, I have to say Bosch UK were useless at helping me when I reported the mysterious dead stop. I thought maybe it was a common fault like a microswitch that I could replace. I took it apart (to a certain extent!) twice, but found nothing. It's still in my garage, waiting for a round tuit. Far too valuable to junk it. (BTW I haven't found anyone who fixes electric tools -- petrol, yes, electric, No.) Despite all that, I still say that if you want value for money, Bosch tools are the best (for amateurs like us.) |
