I need to replace a hedge trimmer, and can't decide whether to go cordless or not. Corded models have more power, but I'm less likely to cut through the cable (again) on a cordless version.
I'm going all 4D. Any advice from anyone?

How big is the hedge Ardiles??
I've always gone corded and accepted that I will cut through the cable on numerous occasions. However last year I bought a Bosch battery powered strimmer which makes life a lot easier. Also Bosch have this interchangeable battery pack thing going on so a lot of their equipment uses the same power pack. Means you'll have a greater chance of one being charged.

Glad to hear that I'm not the only one to cut through trimmer cord.
Got called all sorts of things by Mrs Audrey when I did it.
I shall now seek my revenge

We have a lot of hedges, front and back. Cutting back is pretty much a full time job, so I'm after something fairly heavy duty. I'm veering towards another corded model, but not sure yet. Something like this maybe - and preferably with a belt clip for the cable. How's the power on your cordless model, Bewster? |

I think he means the link in his own post, which is for an electric one. |

For the avoidance of doubt, the RCD is for the new corded model. Many thanks for your confidence in me, chaps. I'm honoured.  |

Stop being gaylords and get yourself a decent petrol driven bit of kit from Stihl.
