We've got *lots* of hedges to cut - 200 yds+ of mostly hawthorn and privet
plus a little of the dreaded L*******. Our second B&D trimmer has given up
and is just ripping instead of cutting. It only lasted 2 or 3 years.

I've come to the conclusion that we need to spend a little more money :-(
Any suggestions? We need :-

Electric (not cordless)
Not petrol (too heavy - otherwise would love one)
Blade length of approx 600mm


try the bosch pro range 600/700 blade length, 32mmcut powerful motor,
solidly put together around £130
