Petrol Hedge Trimmers are very popular with those people that own one. With anything other than the smallest hedge, pruning can quickly become a long and arduous job – a job that is just too tempting to leave for yet another day.

An electric hedge trimmer is a reasonable choice – up to a point. And that point is when the hedge is longer than just a few yards or is at, or above, chest height. Once a hedge is this large the problems with a trailing cord, or a failing battery and lack of power soon start to add time and effort to the task.

Furthermore a larger hedge can require more power than an electric, and especially a battery powered model can provide. It is always better to use a power tool that can operate comfortably within its power range at all times.

Compromising with a choice that does not fully meet your needs now and in the future is very shortsighted. Remember your hedge is likely to grow thicker – even if you keep it to a well defined size and shape. And should you neglect your hedge, for whatever reason, then a petrol hedge trimmer will provide the power you would then need.
