https://egopowerplus.co.uk/rangesEvery EGO cordless hedge trimmer is designed to be balanced, precise and powerful. With that aside, each one is best for different capabilities and needs.
Although not technically a cordless hedge trimmer, the CHT2001E cordless shrub/grass shears are perfect for trimming back small shrubs and woody grass stalks. But you wouldn’t use this tool to trim back your 4-metre-high overgrown Conifer hedge. And while the HTX6500 65cm Professional battery hedge trimmer would be perfect for the task, on the flip side, it would be overkill to use it for giving your dwarf conifer a light prune!
In other words, there are some cordless trimmers that are more suited to some hedges than others. We take you through our range of cordless hedge trimmers and outline which is best for all the tasks you’ll need a hedge trimmer for.
Hedge trimmers for small shrub maintenance
With small shrubs like dwarf conifers and rose and blackberry bushes, there’s no need to go overboard with a large hedge trimmer like the EGO HTX7500 75cm professional hedge trimmer.
Instead, opt for a smaller cordless hedge trimmer. With a much shorter blade, they’re easier to manoeuvre around the shrub and shape it accordingly. Here’s a rundown of EGO’s solution to small shrub maintenance:
- CHT2001E 12V grass/shrub shear - with two attachments including an easy to change shrub shear attachment, it’s the ideal tool for easy manoeuvring and trimming your shrubs back into shape.
EGO hedge trimmers for overgrown hedges
Most hedges will become overgrown if you don’t trim them back regularly enough. Particularly fast-growing hedges like Hazel, Cherry Laurel, Beech and Hawthorne are easier to let get away from you.
Fast growing hedges will turn their fresh newly grown, green stems into woody branches quickly, so a powerful and sturdy battery hedge trimmer is ideal for this.
Some suitable EGO battery hedge trimmers for overgrown hedges are:
- EGO HT5100E 51cm hedge trimmer - ideal for cutting both long and narrow hedges with thicker stems. Suitable for tackling overgrown hedges, and coming with a rotating rear handle, it’s easy for the user to change the angle and work the edges.
- EGO HT2000E 51cm battery hedge trimmer - like above, this cordless hedge trimmer has a 51cm blade, it is also suitable for cleanly cutting thick and unruly stems that populate small-medium sized overgrown hedges.
EGO hedge trimmers for large hedges
Larger hedges that have had a number of years to establish will have thick, tough stems and branches.
EGO HT6500E 65cm hedge trimmer
A large hedge trimmer like EGO HT6500E is capable of tackling such a hedge. With a blade length of 65cm and a 33mm blade gap with double-sided knife-edge cutting, this cordless hedge trimmer can cut the largest and toughest of hedges back into shape.
What’s more, the tool comes with a rotating rear handle for comfort and control, allowing you to manoeuvre the tool easily and cut the hedge back into any size you want.
EGO PTX5100 telescopic hedge trimmer
If the hedge you need to trim is hard to reach, rather than putting yourself in a risky position or using more tools, try our PTX5100 telescopic pole hedge trimmer attachment.
The long reach and adjustability of the telescopic pole allows you to reach hedges even further than any other of our cordless hedge trimmers. This means it’s the safest option for hedges out of reach, allowing you to get a clean cut without the need for extra equipment like stepladders.
Explore the range of EGO tools for the autumn and winter
EGO battery hedge trimmers can be used to prune back overgrown hedges in the autumn and winter, when the sap is down in trees and shrubs. This ensures the plant has time to heal and send out healthy, green growth in the spring.
To accompany you on your autumnal endeavours, EGO offers a range of other tools to help you tick off those other autumn jobs on your list.
- EGO battery leaf blowers like the LB5300E Leaf Blower are lightweight and powerful, giving you the ability to start blowing those fallen leaves away immediately after you’ve finished hedge trimming without your arms getting tired
- EGO cordless chainsaws are a worthy addition to any garden shed. Even more so in the autumn and winter when it’s the optimum time to prune and cut back fruit trees. A battery chainsaw like the CS1400E 35cm chainsaw is perfect for garden use, seeing off branches and medium sized logs with ease.
- The EGO PSA1000 pole saw multi-tool attachment is the solution for reaching those branches that are out of reach of your chainsaw. With an extra reach of 238cm (including the Multi-Tool power head) and 15 m/s chain, save yourself from stretching and putting yourself in risky situations in order to cut tree branches that are difficult to reach.
The best news is, that each tool comes with excellent warranty. We offer a 5-year warranty for domestic use and 1-year for professional use on each of the above EGO tools. To top it off, our tools don’t give off emissions and are cheaper to run than their petrol equivalents. Check out our range to see for yourself.
