Cheap hedge trimmer.

[Gerbutt]

Hello all

 

A friend of mine would like to buy a hedge trimmer but doesn't want to spend too much. Could anyone recommend a petrol one with double edge and a rotating handle please? He's thinking between £75 & £150.

 

Thanks

+1; can't buy anything decent new for that money.

He's not really looking for anything for more. What happened was, he had a cheap one that his uncle gave him and they served him well for five years(he doesn't do much hedge work). They then gave up and he borrowed a mates stihl which he hated, said they hurt his shoulders loads compared to the cheap ones. He said there's a few in that range on the net and wondered if I'd ask on here to see if any stand out?

That's what we use (home use). Not slick but gets the job done also runs better on Aspen.

I have the model one up from this (although I can't really see any difference) and haven't had a single issue. Also run on Aspen.

 

Top value.
