G40HT61 Cordless Hedge Trimmer (tool only)

Got the deal on all 3 40v hedge tools, so fair price, did add a non genuine battery pack though, used a number of times now, nice and easy, cut is amazing, blades are quality, even thick branches are no problem, much easier than petrol kit, almost a joy! Battery life impressive, still on first charge, going to get the strimmer now!!

Brilliant machine Fairly light very easy to use, it's just getting used to not having the wire following me around. The cutter is ultra sharp and made light work of my dense hedges. 40v 2amp battery gives plenty run time and recharge is quick. Would I recommend them Hell yes.

This is quite a serious hedge trimmer with it's big 60cm cutter, but whilst the claimed 27mm bite would work on the likes of Hemlock and hogweed, it's not keen to chew through branches as thick. However on finer hedging material and brush it crisply romps through it in a satisfying way with a long reach broad swathe. As with it's sibling grass trimmer, the meagre 2Ah battery might bring benefit for some, if upgraded to a 4Ah.Puzzlingly the instructions only suggested oiling before storage; I regard repeated lubrication of hedgetrimmer blades during use as essential to limit wear.

Works very well. Seems well made. Quite heavy but reassuringly solid.

Overall I'm impressed with the cutting power, weight and battery life. I also have the pole trimmer, which I bought over a year ago and between both I can easily cut my hedge on a full charge from both batteries / trimmers. The hedge is a good 3m high x 60m long and between them they made short work of it. It is not as powerful as my old 240v mains trimmer and I didn't this to be, then again I don't have any heavy branches to deal with so not a problem 99% of the time. Weight is OK, about the same as my old trimmer and the big bonus is not having to worry about moving or accidentally trimming the mains chord, which makes the whole process a lot simpler and safer.

Quality is very good, long reach so can do my hedge in no time. Saves so much hassle from the electric plug in o e used with extension lead with the bo used of having to move the lead evey minute to avoid cutting through it. Big battery which lasts for at least 2.5 to 3 hours.

Does the job well in a rough mixed hedge. Battery life has never caused a problem but the unit overall is on the heavy side.

Superb cutting, reach, easy to use, long charge - cuts superbly through very chunky hedge limbs, has a great long body and blade to give an excellent reach, light and ergonomically designed to make easy, and battery last a good while. One of the best hedge trimmers I've owned.
