I got myself the Fiskars since I already had an ax and Unkrautstecher and am also very pleased with both. And what I realized? Fiskars has inspired me wiedermal. I have not only cut the hedge, which is very light, but also my pasture. OK at 1.5cm thick branches comes the hedge trimmer! circumcise their limits, but it's just not trees also thought. Nevertheless, it was convenient to do so this time without a ladder, I came good with the hedge trimmer in the height to which I wanted to curtail the pasture (about 2- 2.5m). The cut in the hedge is clean, I can not say from my electric scissors. I roll for trimming hedges no more cable! Conclusion: Fiskars is worth the money, even though I usually rather cheap purchases.
