Forms of hedge trimmer
There are three principal sorts, based on their power source. To discover the top versions, read our evaluations.

Petrol
Petrol hedge trimmers by comparison are large, hefty machines. They're useful in the event you have hedges far from a power source. But as with all petrol machines they're noisy, create exhaust fumes and can be tiring to make use of for long periods. We haven 't tested petrol hedge trimmers recently, but when we 've tested cheaper models in the past we 've not been particularly impressed with them. If this is your greatest option, you may possibly need to purchase a more pricey model from a specialist machinery dealer and seek their advice.

Cordless
Cordless hedge trimmers have a battery that can be removed and recharged indoors.
