An indispensable tool for any garden owner that has hedging reaching to head height and beyond, the long reach hedgetrimmer will save not only your time and energy, but also improve garden safety immeasurably. With a standard hand held hedge cutter, you have no option but to reach above your head to cut tall hedging; this can be extremely tiring. However, if your hedges are 8 feet tall and more, you are left perched on top of a ladder to get to the top growth, which, at the best of times, is not ideal. However, if you have a long reach hedgetrimmer you can keep your feet firmly on the ground whilst you work your way along your hedging. The performance of these machines is excellent with incredibly sharp blades making light work of tough yearly growth. They are easy to use and nicely balanced with a shoulder harness taking the weight of the machine so you can concentrate on the job to hand.
