Popular hedge trimmer features to look out for
Blade tip protector: Protects the cutting blade from wear and tear during work near walls and the ground.
Articulating cutter head: Rotatable cutter head allows you to more easily cut the top and sides of hedges.
Telescopic shaft: Allows you to extend the length of the shaft for greater reach when cutting wide and tall hedges.
Single v Double blades: Double sided blades cut in both directions enabling you to cut larger areas quicker, whilst single sided only cut in one but are generally better balanced and easier to use
There is no single "best blade length", but rather you should choose a blade length that suits the tasks you'll be undertaking.
- For trimming shrubs and a small hedge - an 18" blade length would be suitable
- For trimming long and tall hedges - a longer blade length of around 24" - 28" would be more suitable
1. Blade length
The first thing to look at is the blade length. Understanding the type of work you're doing will help dictate what length of blade you require. For shrubs and small hedges, a smaller length of around 18" would be fine. For larger hedges, you would be better with a longer blade.
2. Standard or long reach
Are you trimming hedges within arms reach, or do you have tall, wider hedges that would require a long reach pole?
3. Power supply
Hedge trimmers are available in petrol, cordless battery or mains electric and each has it's placed in the market. A homeowner in a small garden where power sockets are available may find using a mains electric hedge trimmer meets their requirements, whereas a professional users may prefer a petrol powered or a cordless machine.
If you're considering a cordless machine, our short guide will help you choose.
4. Weight
The weight of the trimmer should be a key consideration when choosing which to buy. If you plan to operate the trimmer for long periods, it's important to ensure you're buying a trimmer that you're comfortable holding for long periods.
There are a few different types of hedge trimmers that are designed for different applications.
- Shrub trimmers (8" blade length)
- Standard handheld (typically between 18" - 30" blade length)
- Long reach (various lengths, sometimes telescopic, typically 18" - 24" blade length)
- Hedge trimmer attachment for a combination tool (fixed or articulating, typically 20" - 24" blade length)
