Echo HCR-185ES Petrol Hedgetrimmer

Echo HCR-185ES Petrol Hedgetrimmer

Enjoy pro-grade features, rugged build-quality and considered ergonomics with this premium petrol hedgetrimmer from acclaimed Japanese power tool specialists, Echo!

Driving it is a super-efficient and clean-running 21.2cc air-cooled two-stroke engine that utilises Echo’s Power Boost Tornado™ technology. This works to ensure maximum power output, and to minimise fuel costs, while at the same time delivering a substantial cut in unpleasant and environmentally damaging exhaust emissions.

A heavy-duty three-stage air filter provides optimum component protection and extends service life; a superior directional exhaust means hot gases are directed away from the hedge to avoid scorching and discolouration.

Other engine features include tool-free air filter access for straightforward in-the-field maintenance; and a roomy 0.37-litre fuel tank, which combines with the engine’s fuel efficient design to reduce the frequency of refuelling-breaks.

The Echo HCR-185ES has been equipped with a five-position adjustable rear handle for enhanced manoeuvrability and the comfortable creation of complex shapes (contributing further to ease of handling is a comprehensive vibration damping system).

It comes fitted with extra-long 75cm double-sided laser-cut blades, so a fast, clean cut is guaranteed; and it has a very generous 35mm tooth pitch, which makes it possible to cut through larger branches with no worries about the ‘chewing’ that can lead to discolouration and infection.

Also featured is a throttle lockout switch for user safety.
