After unpacking the first doubts arise. The hedge trimmer acts too small and too weak for the demanding task of bringing an overgrown hedge back into shape.
But the first impression is deceptive. The shears slide cleanly through the undergrowth and also packs thicker branches without any problems. (Better than my previous cable shears)
I need for my hedge trimming ca 30-40 minutes and the gap (ie the battery) has persevered effortlessly.
For larger hedges is certainly a second battery needed. Or you take a break and wait three to four hours until the same again is loaded.
The last time the hedge my wife cut and even for delicate female hands, the device must be kept super (ok, that was also a common ulterior motive of mine)
Conclusion: Incredibly handy and lightweight, thus cramp-free working. Reduce cable clutter. I think that's part of super!
Supplement May 2011:
The scissors and the battery works as the first day. I can not notice any performance degradation. Absolute buy recommendation.
