Hedgetrimmers, much like people, come in many shapes and sizes. However, while variation in human beings depends upon the faintly mysterious workings of genetics, hedgetrimmers have the advantage of being designed for a particular purpose and different models can be specifically tailored to gardeners with particular needs. Sanli’s HSD2655 petrol-powered hedgetrimmer, for example, is perfect for those seeking superb cutting power on a budget, thus allowing you to tackle even the densest vegetation without having to break the bank.

Despite being less expensive than many comparable machines, the HSD2655 is more than capable of holding its own when it comes to tough cutting work. This is in no small part down the machine’s industrious 25.4cc two-stroke petrol engine, capable of delivering 1.1hp and air-cooled to ensure optimal performance. Unlike the engines of many similarly priced machines, this full crank engine features bearings at both ends of the crankshaft for increased durability so you can be assured of reliable performance for years to come, while a high capacity 0.65 litre fuel tank and an easy to use recoil start system provide pleasing convenience.

This impressive engine drives the HSD2655’s 55cm reciprocating double-blade, which is designed to be equally capable whether you are cutting through thick shrubs or engaged in lighter trimming and shaping work. Precision ground to ensure a clean cut which is better for the health of the plant being trimmed, this tough blade is magnificently effective when faced with all but the very toughest vegetation and can thus save you significant time and effort when trying to keep fast-growing hedgerows under control.

User comfort, meanwhile, is assured by the inclusion of a variety of ergonomic features normally seen in much more expensive machines. The HSD2655’s built-in anti-vibration system, for example, reduces operator fatigue to allow for prolonged periods of use without fear of stress related injuries, while a hardwearing plastic hand guard placed between the cutting blade and front handle ensures added safety and deflects cuttings accidentally thrown towards you during use. As well as featuring a soft grip coating for extra comfort, the HSD2655’s rear handle can also be rotated through 180° to ensure an optimal working position. This means that it is simple to adapt the machine to the situation at hand, enabling easy cutting of the otherwise awkward vertical sides of hedges and bushes while always maintaining complete comfort and control.

Tough, efficient and great value for money, Sanli’s HSD2655 is therefore undeniably an excellent hedgetrimmer and perfect for those looking for an effective solution to controlling fast growing hedgerows, bushes and shrubs in domestic gardens.
