Long 61cm blade
I bought this hedge trimmer to replace my old hedge trimmer which I had accidently chipped two teeth off by hitting a metal fence post bolt. I must say that while using it for the first time, I quickly realized the benifit of having a longer blade, it took just over an hour to complete the task of trimming all my hedges whereas before it would have taken nearer 2 hours, also the ease of the actual cutting due to a new sharp blade also added to the efficiency, it will slice through branches easily up to about 1cm thick. I read other reviews and people said it was quite noisey but in my opinion, all hedge trimmers are quite noisey and I found this one to be no louder the my old one or my neighbours hedge trimmer, who was also impressed with the longer blade. It come with a long cable but as I use an extention when I cut my hedges, make little difference to me. The only poor thing about this hedge trimmer is the blade cover, it's a bit cheap and fiddly compared to my old trimmer but it does work, so if you can live with that I would fully endorsed and recommend this product.
