Bosch’s entry level hedge trimmers include the Bosch Electric Hedge Trimmer (AHS 45-16) a well balanced tool with ergonomic handles that provide a more comfortable work position. And be careful where you use solder, as solder is not to be used in every location in an appliance. Solder is not good at mechanical loads (it's not glue), and it melts if the electricals it's applied to get hot enough. It also makes stranded copper wire too stiff and encourages wire breaks where it is used. If, for example, wire near it flexes and bends a lot. In today’s review, I’ll go through the most important features of the Bosch AHS 45-16 and how they can benefit you and your hedges. Let’s take a look! What I’ll Cover…

I've got some other item here, that has a knot inside and a post it goes around. It was put there to secure something inside from moving. It's looking impossible, so far, without dismantling every single component of it. And in any case I'm now stymied by a circlip which is holding the cutter assembly in place. I discovered that the brushes are in fine fettle - only about 1/4 worn by the look of them (after about 3 years' hard use). So why the hell did it stop?Fret not because we've gathered together a fine tranche of hedge clippers that perform the task of hedge trimmery with exemplary skill. As with T3’s Best Strimmer, Best Cordless Lawn Mower and Best Chainsaw buying guides, we've included the best hedge trimmers at a variety of price points here, making sure there is a top-rated model for every budget. We've also included some buying advice at the bottom of this article that we think will help you find the best hedge trimmer for your needs.

By far the biggest challenge was getting it apart; there's nothing in Google/Youtube for dismantling this particular model, although I could garner general hints from one or two of the hits that there are, for "hedgetrimmers". Worx garden products have really impressed this writer and not just because every product I’ve tested of theirs performs the task it was made for, but also because I’m fond of the company’s product designs. Granted, branding and looks shouldn’t play a part in choosing garden gear, but every time I see a WORX product I just want to get my hands on it (witness the company’s LeafJet blower or Landroid M500 robot mower). In the pantheon of garden products, their stuff screams ‘buy me’. I will ask a mate if he has circlip pliers (?), but meanwhile: has anyone here done this? Is there "an easier way" to get at the brushes (which I can almost see through the vents). Constructed with durability in mind, the Bosch AHS 45-16 is designed to withstand the demands of regular hedge trimming. Its high-quality materials provide long-lasting performance, making it a reliable tool in any gardening arsenal.This extendable cordless hedge edger lets you trim without the need for a ladder; it has a reach of around 10 feet. For a cordless model, the Gtech HT 50 is light-ish at 2.94kgs and pretty well designed. It couldn’t be simpler to assemble as it’s comprised of just four parts: a blade housing, a control handle, a 90cm aluminium extension arm and a small, lightweight 18v Lithium-Ion battery. People mostly seem to be impressed by how easy it is to use, allowing them to finally get on top of trimming their hedges before they get out of control. Whether you choose corded or cordless, Bosch Hedge Trimmers are lightweight and powerful – ideal for shaping and maintaining hedges of any size with easy handling.

The real draw here is the weight: at just 530g you won’t end up with a bad case of Gorilla Arm after using it for protracted pruning. You wouldn’t want to prune a Victorian maze with it, that’s for sure, but for relatively titchy topiary, it’s ideal. How to buy the best hedge trimmer for youI have an AHS 55-26 trimmer -- a superb machine. However it stopped working the other day - dead as a dodo (and no traumas such as being dropped). I've had it 3 years; it gets pretty heavy use. There are quite a few small handheld hedge trimmers around – Bosch alone makes several different models, and lots of rivals do too – but we think this set offers the best combination of usefulness and flexibility. Funny thing was, when I plugged it in to try it again 2 days ago, it started up fine. I went to the hedge, started cutting, and a minute later it stopped dead again (btw: the cutters are _not_ jammed).
