This small hedge trimmer and edge size is very convenient. I have a thread trimmer for a long time but I never use it because it is 2 times more noise than a lawnmower. The Bosch border size is very effective and made a small sound reasonable. With this blade can also cut twigs protruding from a shrub pruned into a ball. The hedge trimmer is also effective for touch-ups but it has not the power of my great Bosch hedge trimmer. Say it is complementary and enjoyable to use as it weighs less than one kilogram. The usage time is approximately 1:15. Good material.
