From world-leaders in battery technology Energizer®, this groundbreaking 40v cordless hedgetrimmer offers lightweight, low-vibration performance and will convince even the most ardent petrol-heads that the future of garden-maintenance lies with lithium-ion power. It’s equipped with longest-in-class 60cm blades, so every sweep will cover a large swathe of hedge, and it combines a two-speed gearing with an ECO mode to ensure you’ll be able to manage battery drain-rate. Battery and charger are supplied separately.

Coming-in at around half the weight of a petrol-driven hedgetrimmer and equipped with an expansive 61cm double-sided blade-set, the battery-powered Mountfield MH-48LI will enable you to complete the job quickly and in comfort. It has a three-stage adjustable rear-handle, so a low-effort working-angle is easily achievable; and it’s fitted with a transparent hand-guard that means you’ll always have an unimpeded view. Weighs only 2.8kg. Battery & Charger available separately.

With its expansive 66cm blade-set and beefy 82v lithium-ion battery-pack, the US-designed Snapper SXDHT is one of the most productive and powerful cordless hedgetrimmers available. Durability-features include robust blade-tip protection and a premium brushless motor; convenience-features include a 180° twist-grip handle and a blockage-freeing blade-reverse function. This is a tool-only machine, with the available batteries and charger compatible with all the tools in Snapper’s cordless range.

An adjustable cutter-head, handle and shaft make the petrol-equivalent Redback E920D Cordless Pole-Trimmer a great buy for gardeners seeking a comfortable, low-effort way to tackle high, awkwardly-shaped hedges and low ground-cover. It combines balance-optimised motor-positioning with a shoulder-strap so as to ensure you’ll find it easy to control and manoeuvre; and it’s equipped with dual-action laser-cut blades, so you can expect sharply defined results. This model utilises Redback’s own in-house-developed 40v lithium-ion battery-technology and weighs a minimal 3.5kg.
