Purchased a DeWalt pole hedge trimmer from Tool Talk. Various emails/SMS kept me updated on the delivery which was on time. Good quality equipment, and exactly as ordered. It is not telescopic, but more than ample for tge hedges that I have. I have the 5ampH battery and it out lasts me. At just over 3kg, the hedge trimmer can be heavy on the arms when working at full streatch for reasonably long periods.. It has a 2.5cm cutting blade space which does get through some reasonably large branches. As it is battery driven there is no danger of cutting though the cable ! The cutting blade will move into several positions, which is useful, especially for the tops of hedges,. There is a sholderstap to help. It is reasonable quiet.
