Best hedge cutter for a really good finish?

[johnp]

I've been reluctantly picking up more and more hedge cutting work, and my blunt rough cut ht 85 is not that tidy, what's everyone s weapon of choice for a good finish? Ta

Get new blades on your  ht 85's.

Robin hedgecutter gives the best finish by far, always did.  Now rebadged as dolmar/makita.  Speak to shavey on here

Yeah, but rough cut aren't going to give a cracking finish I wouldn't have thought?

Ive found electric hedgecutters give the best finish but are rarely a practical option.

I use the still double sided HS45 hedgetrimmers and get them sharpend or get new blades...always a good finish on privot and leylandii

Or try Tanaka. Excellent cut

Second vote for Tanaka You can sharpen them and adjust blade tightness.

If staying with a long handled, the ECHO HCA-265ES would probably get my vote.

I'm replacing my 265's as they die, going back to Stihl.
The power units are good but I hate the echo trimmer heads.

Have you seen or used one of the new Stihl heads? If you can get one atm.
