Cuts everything you get in the way

I first looked around in various hardware stores and there always found good tickets for No-name products, although they were cheap with 40-50 EUR, but also looked like. Only Bosch was represented everywhere and looked good and solid. Although I have several machines of Metabo (drill, flex, belt sander, planer, circular saw, all purpose vacuum cleaner) and thus am very satisfied, I did not come with the brand, "garden tools" only once to mind. More or less by accident, I found Amazon a Metabo hedge trimmer. The pictures looked good. The commercial at Metabo also made a good impression. The reference to hard old beech hedges were then decisive.

In a hardware store Metabo could not be found. So "blind" orders because of the good experience with Metabo devices. Two days later, on Saturday morning, the unit arrived. Unpacked and cut out in the garden and 15 meters of a 25-year beech hedge: it was really fun. As with a hot knife through butter. When I consider how long I've tortured myself around with my little Black & Decker. And there are still waiting for another 20 m beech hedge on a radical pruning. So I would recommend it. The build quality is at least as solid as Bosch. Moreover, even cheaper.

The additional button in the handle near the cable output increases the range considerably. Although the scissors then already "in the shoulders is". Otherwise well-balanced. But 4kg 4kg are! I am a man with 185cm, weighing 95kg. A 45kg woman, I would recommend a lighter machine. Possibly but the 3.5kg-Bosch. Otherwise, the machine is well in hand. Cuts anything gets in the way without jerking. Daum Large branches are no problem at all. Then wipe and well-oiled and that was it until next time. I'm really excited.

So if solid tools underestimated: highly recommended!
