Bosch 06008B3001 Cordless Telescopic Hedge Trimmer UniversalHedgePole 18 (Without Battery and Charger)

Product Information

This machine has a power cable measuring 8 metres so that you will not be restricted when trimming. If that is not enough, you can make use of an extension box for optimum coverage. You will like its compactness, which makes it possible for you to store it without using up too much space. For trimming long hedges you need to buy an extension pole separately that’s worthy for long reach cutting. Delivered in one of Bosch’s familiar green boxes, I was immediately surprised at how small and light it felt, especially compared to some of the huge ones I’d also tested out. This continued with the overall feel of this pole trimmer. It’s what you’d expect from a Bosch tool. It feels solid and the plastic casing doesn’t have any movement unlike some trimmers I’ve tested out.

It is specially designed for starters and pros so that the task of garden maintenance will be a stroll in the park.

If these hedges are far from an electrical power source, you might want to consider getting a petrol-powered trimmer. A cordless model too will work, especially if you have a spare battery to support the one that came with the trimmer. As of 2021 Bosch has licensed PowerForAll to other manufacturers whereby batteries between these manufacturers will be interchangeable. There’s no worry about the battery of the machine running down because it doesn’t have one. The machine gets its power from petrol which you simply have to pour into the tank of the trimmer, and you can get to work.

Besides, it comes with vital attachments so that you can get value for your money. There is the strimmer attachment, which has strimmer heads including a grass trimmer head with 4 Lines, 40-tooth brush cutter blade, and 3-tooth brush cutter blade. Other attachments include long reach hedge trimmer attachment, long-reach chainsaw attachment, and a 1-metre extension pole I wouldn’t call this a heavy power tool because it weighs less than 4 kg, but it’s definitely unwieldy. When it’s retracted to its minimum length it’s fine to use though. I felt like I could trim and shape bushes and trees for hours! Hand Guard: A hedge trimmer can be dangerous to use. This is why you should always make sure your trimmer has a handguard. These built-in handguards will prevent your fingers from getting injured by the teeth of the machine.The Einhell 3410866 GE-HH long reach hedge shears comes with a tiltable main handle with four settings for optimum performance. Also, the motorhead is tiltable and you can use it in seven settings. Its telescopic aluminium handle is adjustable so that you can be more flexible with your operations. They can be found as all the models mentioned above: electric, cordless and petrol extendable hedge trimmers. Interestingly, these cutters are also sold as a multi-tool. The head can be replaced with a strimmer or a pruner. As such, one can have different tools functioning with a single motor. At just 3.1kg, the Flymo’s lightness and fine balance is a big plus but the T-shaped crossbar for your supporting hand, supposed to make it more comfortable to use, is not really big enough to add any control. It does make the trimmer narrower and easier to store, though. This long-reach cutter has a telescopic pole that you can adjust in accordance with the height of the hedge you are trimming. The pole has a pivoting head and can reach up to 2.6 metres in height. That is why you can be sure of a ladder-free experience at all times for optimum safety.
