My hand held hedge trimmer is one tool which I make sure is always stowed into my gardening cart when doing the weekly inspection of the yard. I find it so handy when it comes to tidying up shrubs as well as getting into tight corners to trim the grass that the lawnmower can’t get at.
If you were thinking of treating yourself to one there are different options open to you. There are models with just the hedge trimmer blades and others with interchangeable blades which includes grass shears. The changeover is simple enough with a lot of the models performed with the press of a button.
Also available in some models is a long extension handle with a wheel on the base. I find it handy as it allows me to stand up and wheel it around the lawn borders etc.
Take a look at my top 5 suggested models here.
