Who has a garden, the greatest desire is to see it always in order and arranged and why this desire comes true what is needed if not a comfortable hedge trimmer?
If you have decided to buy a hedge trimmer because you are tired of using the saw or shares, there will be a guide for you on how to choose a hedge trimmer.
Hedge Trimmer: Models
To choose the right hedge trimmer model, you first need to understand what kind of garden you need to take care of: so what kind of soil, the size of the plants, etc … There are 3 categories of hedge trimmers that differ in the type of feed or the length of the blade:
- Trimmer with petrol engine: excellent for power, but very noisy and harmful (it releases some substances harmful to our body).
- Electric current hedge trimmer: this too is very powerful, but it has the flaw of the cable, which is usually too short and sets limits for the range.
- Battery hedge trimmer: with lower power than the first two, but really good for any type of use.
Weight and dimensions
Weight is a feature that should not be underestimated because the lighter the device, the easier it will be to use. Products that weigh more than 8 lbs are not recommended (especially if the person who will use it will have a certain age). An important role is the manageability that will be guaranteed only if the product is not very heavy, has more grips for angular cutting the plant, and is covered with a non-slip material.
Equally important is the length of the blade which, if it is very long, can help to clean up the upper branches better, but at the same time if it is short it helps to obtain clearer and more precise cuts (unlike the long ones which often make precision very difficult during the pruning process). A middle way can be a length equal to 27 inches for hedges that do not exceed 59 inches in height.
Engine and cut
For a quality hedge trimmer, the motor should have a power equal to or greater than 500 W. The right thing to do before is to check the noise and vibrations produced by the engine during work because these not only affect fatigue but there they also allow us to understand if the power adapts to our needs. Furthermore, it is also important to cut the maximum length of the branches, which must obviously be adapted to the branches present in your garden.
Security System
It is essential to choose not only a product that gives excellent performance but is also very safe. Most hedge trimmers that are on the market have metal protection for the teeth of the blades and the sudden stop of the engine whenever a hand leaves its grip.
Conclusions
To choose a hedge trimmer, it is good to consider the spaces of your garden and the hedges to be pruned: for small branches, battery hedge trimmers are suitable, if, on the contrary, the branches to be cut need great power, the hedge trimmer is suitable for motor or cable.
It is also important to pay attention to the length of the blade which must depend on the cutting thickness. Finally, don’t forget the weight, the size and the safety of the product, since the ease of use depends on these.
