Try the petrol-matching Redback E522DQ-2Ah Cordless Hedgetrimmer just once and you'll never want to return to that polluting, hassle-heavy and increasingly outdated power-source!

It's supplied with a cutting-edge 40v (2Ah) lithium-ion battery, which has been developed by Redback themselves using boundary-pushing power-cells from a leading Japanese manufacturer.

The resulting battery-pack runs longer and charges faster than lower-spec nickel-cadmium and lead-acid units; and it doesn't suffer from memory-effect and spontaneous-discharge problems, which means it's always ready for action.

The Redback E522DQ-2Ah Cordless Hedgetrimmer has been equipped with a pair of lengthy 56cm blades which are laser-cut and dual-reciprocating for stay-sharp durability and precision results; and double-sided for speedy side-to-side trimming.

It boasts a rotating rear-handle that makes it possible to create intricate shapes without having to adopt an uncomfortable working-position; and it combines overload-protection with a quick-stop blade-brake, so it ticks all the boxes when it comes to operator-safety.

Also noteworthy is the oversized trigger-switch that combines with the large handle for easy gloved-hand operation.
