If you need to to tame low ground-cover and tall hedges, but would rather not have to deal with the noise, dirt, vibration and starting-hassle that come with petrol power, the high-specification Einhell GE-HH 18/45 Li PXC Cordless Telescopic Hedgetrimmer is certainly worth checking-out!

It comes with a fast-charging 18v (3Ah) battery-pack, which, thanks to its employment of the latest lithium-ion cell technology, offers superior longevity and much longer-run-times than comparable lead-acid and nickel-cadmium units.

The petrol-matching battery also provides cable- and fume-free performance with less tiring vibration and a cut in stress-inducing noise.

The Einhell GE-HH 18/45 Li excells in terms of comfort and flexibility of use, with its telescopic shaft, seven-step adjustable cutter-head, four-step adjustable main-handle and infinitely adjustable secondary handle all combining to ensure awkwardly shaped and/or positioned hedges can be tackled without having to adopt an unnatural - and potentially unsafe - body position.

Laser-cut, diamond-ground blades offer stay-sharp durability and deliver a crisp, clean cut; while robust metal-gearing ensures long periods of high-rev use won’t prove a problem.

This model comes with a protective blade-guard that prevents moisture-contamination and subsequent rust-damage during storage.

The supplied battery is suitable for use with all the machines from Einhell’s Power X-Change range.
