A hedge trimmer with the power of a petrol model yet with all the advantage of a cordless electrically-powered one has just gone on sale exclusively at Mowdirect.
Greenworks is an American company which has designed a range of machines using the latest battery technology which give a third more power than traditional battery-powered machinery.
And above all they are less tiring to use and need much less charging time, much like modern cordless drills we all use today.
