Have dewalts offering. As good as a t2 equivalent unless heavy brushcutting.
supposed to be naked for about £75 but they messed up and sent with 5ah battery and charger

They are both missing one Important part...




...an engine.

I have an engine powered hedge trimmer, which is exactly why I'm buying a battery powered one

Il agree in a commercial environment but for home use there supra singly good. Light easy to maintain and no faffing with fuel carbs etc. Happy as Larry munching through 6" of grass.

Aye. If I had a bit of land. I'd have a decent stihl brushcutter. Spent years doing maintenence contracts for local authorities in my youth and can't stand Strummer with a loop handle.
Run the petrol mower over the front and back garden then 10 mins tidying around the kids toys and fences it's perfect can strim all grass on one charge without using the mower at all if needed.

i have a couple of little wonder hedge cutters. one is 12 volt and the other 240v. the 12 volt one farmers use and clip it on to the tractor battery very powerful and the blades are made from decent hard steel that will cut through link steel fencing without any damage paid 15 quid each for thembeats petrol ones for power and weight

I've one of the bigger Makita cordless' ones and to be honest it's a beast compared to all the usual cheap corded ones - nothing like a 5hp engine, no, but it's got enough ponies that I can trim hawthorn with it as well as the grass!
