Anyone who needs to prune their garden hedge or do small gardening jobs will need a hedge trimmer. AgriEuro's online catalogue offers a wide range of hedge trimmers for both DIY gardening enthusiasts and professionals.

These tools are mainly used to cut excess branches and leaves, but also simply to shape hedges in the garden and give them a cleaner, more precise shape.

The hedge trimmer essentially consists of three elements: a motor, a double-toothed stainless steel blade and a handle located on the lower part, away from the blade.

Depending on the type of power source used, the hedge trimmer can be equipped with a cable, battery-powered, or fuel tank. Of course, when choosing a hedge trimmer, you need to take into account the size of your garden and/or hedges to be pruned and how often you will be using it. There are many models of hedge trimmers on the market, and it can be difficult, especially for beginners, to understand at first glance which one is best suited to your needs.

Let's take a look at the different types of hedge trimmers available at AgriEuro:

  • 230 V electric hedge trimmers: These are certainly the most practical choice when a power outlet is available. They require no maintenance and are lighter and easier to handle, suitable for medium-sized jobs. Electric hedge trimmers are clearly less powerful than petrol ones, but they are quiet and offer excellent value for money. Therefore, if your garden is not too large, they are fine, but covering large distances is more problematic. You can always use an extension cord to reach the furthest points. Their teeth are narrower, for cuts of up to 15 mm, and their bars are shorter, commensurate with their lower power and lighter mechanics.
  • Battery-powered hedge trimmers: Battery-powered hedge trimmers are undoubtedly the most practical and manoeuvrable of all. In fact, they are lighter than petrol-powered ones and more functional than electric ones. As they do not require a power cable, the operator can use them anywhere in the garden without the need for a nearby electrical outlet. However, one limitation that other types do not have is the autonomy linked to battery life. If your gardening work usually takes longer, this may not be the right solution for your needs. However, there are also hedge trimmer kits with backpack batteries that have enough amperage to last a whole day. These latest models are undoubtedly a niche product for highly professional use. Ultimately, battery-powered hedge trimmers are very quiet tools, which are recommended in contexts where excessive noise is not permitted.
  • Petrol hedge trimmers: If you want a high-performance tool, then your choice will be a petrol hedge trimmer. They are considered more powerful than other categories but are also the heaviest and noisiest. They are generally divided into two subcategories: those with a two-stroke engine and those with a four-stroke engine. Hedge trimmers with two-stroke engines are more powerful but consume more fuel, while four-stroke engines consume less fuel and are quieter. The distance between the teeth is the widest available, for cuts up to 20 mm. They have blades and gears that are more robust than electric hedge trimmers, but they cannot be used on dry branches or branches that are several years old, which must be pruned with shears or a chainsaw: their hardness would damage the blades and gears, which are not designed for this type of work, as they are optimised for speed rather than cutting force.
  • Hedge trimmers on extension poles: this type of hedge trimmer is not characterised by the type of motor or noise level, but by the presence of a fixed or extendable pole. This particular category of products allows you to reach higher hedges or ramps without having to use ladders or awkward step ladders. In addition, it is almost always possible to adjust the angle of the hedge trimmer blade head, allowing for more precise cuts. They are divided into hedge trimmers on extension poles and hedge trimmers on fixed poles.

What are hedge trimmers used for?

Hedge trimmers are tools used mainly for pruning and maintaining hedges, shrubs and bushes. Their main function is to shape and reduce excessive vegetation growth, keeping the garden tidy and aesthetically pleasing. Here are some specific activities for which they are used:

  • Hedge pruning: they allow you to cut excess branches and leaves to maintain the desired shape of hedges.
  • Shrub maintenance: ideal for reducing and shaping shrubs of various sizes.
  • Edge trimming: useful for trimming the edges of hedges, ensuring a neat and defined appearance.

Hedge trimmers are suitable for different types of use:

  • Professional hedge trimmers: petrol-powered and extension pole models are often used by professional gardeners for intensive, large-scale work.
  • Hobby/domestic: electric and battery-powered models are perfect for domestic use, offering a good combination of power and manoeuvrability for small/medium-sized gardens.
  • Semi-professional: some battery-powered models with high autonomy and power can be used both in domestic contexts and for more demanding jobs.

Hedge trimmers help solve various problems related to uncontrolled plant growth, such as branches invading passageways, loss of light in shaded areas and the untidy appearance of the garden.

How are hedge trimmers made?

Hedge trimmers consist of several key components that determine their operation and performance. Let's take a detailed look at how they are constructed and how they work.

  • Motor: The motor is the heart of the hedge trimmer and can be of various types: single-phase electric, battery-powered, petrol or pneumatic.
  • Blade: The blade is essential for precise and clean cutting. The length can vary from 40 to 53 cm and the tooth opening, which affects the cutting capacity, can be between 12 and 26 mm.
  • Handle: The handle is designed to ensure comfort and control during use. Some models have a rotating handle to facilitate cutting in different directions.

How do they work?

Hedge trimmer work on a simple but effective principle. The electrically or combustion-powered motor transmits movement to the hedge trimmer blade via a transmission mechanism.

  1. Starting the motor: In electric hedge trimmers, the motor is started simply by plugging it into the mains and pressing the switch. In battery-powered models, simply turn on the device after inserting the charged battery. In petrol models, the motor is started using a coil-start mechanism.
  2. Transmission of movement: Once the motor is started, the movement is transmitted to the blade. In electric and battery-powered models, a motor shaft connects the motor directly to the blade. In petrol models, a system of gears and belts transmits the movement.
  3. Blade movement: The hedge trimmer blade consists of two sets of sharp teeth that move in opposite directions. This alternating movement allows the teeth to cut branches in a similar way to scissors. The opening of the teeth determines the maximum size of branch that can be cut.
  4. Control and manoeuvrability: The operator guides the blade along the hedge or shrub using the handle. Some models offer rotating handles to facilitate cutting at different angles. Anti-vibration systems reduce operator fatigue by improving comfort during prolonged use.
  5. Precise cutting: Thanks to their ergonomic design and the precision of the hedge trimmer blade movement, hedge trimmers allow you to make clean, precise cuts, shaping the vegetation according to your needs.

Advantages of hedge trimmers

Hedge trimmers offer numerous advantages over other pruning tools, making them a preferred choice for maintaining gardens and green spaces. Here is a detailed analysis of the main benefits of these tools:

  1. Efficiency and speed: Hedge trimmers allow you to make quick and precise cuts thanks to the alternating movement of the hedge trimmer blade. This allows you to complete pruning work in less time than with manual shears. With a cutting diameter ranging from 10 mm to 35 mm, hedge trimmers can handle branches of different sizes with ease.
  2. Versatility of use: There are specific models for every need, from electric models for small domestic gardens to petrol models for large-scale professional work. Hedge trimmers on extension poles are perfect for reaching tall hedges without the use of ladders. Some models allow you to connect different accessories, increasing the range of possible uses with a single tool.
  3. Ergonomics and comfort: They allow the handle to be positioned optimally, facilitating cuts in different directions and reducing operator fatigue. Many models are equipped with anti-vibration systems that reduce the vibrations transmitted to the operator's hands, increasing comfort during prolonged use.
  4. Garden maintenance: Using a hedge trimmer allows you to keep hedges and shrubs tidy, improving the appearance of your garden. The precise, clean cut of the hedge trimmer blade allows you to shape the vegetation according to your preferences and control its growth.

Comparison with other tools

  • Manual shears: Compared to manual shears, hedge trimmers offer greater speed of execution and require less physical effort. Shears are more suitable for small precision jobs, while hedge trimmers are ideal for extensive and repetitive work.
  • Chainsaws: Chainsaws are more suitable for cutting thick trunks and branches, while hedge trimmers are specifically designed for pruning hedges and shrubs. Chainsaws are heavier and less manoeuvrable for finishing work.

Hedge trimmers are complex, advanced tools that offer a range of technical features designed to optimise their effectiveness, efficiency and ease of use. Understanding these features is essential for choosing the model that best suits your needs. The main technical features of hedge trimmers are listed below:

Engine power

The type of motor power supply is one of the most important features of hedge trimmers as it determines the power, autonomy and practicality of the tool. Hedge trimmers can be powered in different ways:

  • Single-phase electric: Powered by 230V domestic electricity, these models offer constant power throughout the duration of the job. The power ranges from 150 to 750 W, making them suitable for light and continuous work.
  • Battery-powered: These hedge trimmers run on rechargeable batteries. The battery capacity, expressed in Ah, determines the autonomy, while the voltage, which varies from 14.4V to 82V, affects the power. They are ideal for medium-sized gardens, offering great freedom of movement without cables.
  • Petrol: Equipped with internal combustion engines available in 2- or 4-stroke versions, these models offer high power (0.68 - 1.67 HP) and are suitable for intensive work. They require careful maintenance and are recommended for professional use.
  • Pneumatic: Less common, these hedge trimmers use compressed air to operate. They are mainly used in industrial contexts and offer an alternative solution for specific applications.

Configuration

The configuration of the hedge trimmer directly affects its versatility and ease of use. There are several configurations to choose from, each with specific characteristics:

  • Direct hedge trimmer: In this model, the hedge trimmer blade is connected directly to the machine body without a pole. This configuration is ideal for professional jobs that require precision and power, offering direct control and greater manoeuvrability.
  • Hedge trimmer on pole: There is a pole between the motor and the hedge trimmer blade, which can be fixed or telescopic. The fixed pole is lightweight and less expensive but does not allow you to reach high heights. The telescopic pole, on the other hand, is height-adjustable, allowing you to reach high hedges without the need for ladders. This type of configuration is ideal for working on high hedges and for pruning at a distance.
  • Multifunction: These hedge trimmers allow you to connect different accessories, increasing the range of possible uses with a single tool. They are ideal for those looking for versatility and want to use a single motor for various gardening tools.

Cutting diameter

The cutting diameter is a key feature that determines the maximum thickness of branches that can be cut by the hedge trimmer. This parameter varies depending on the model and type of blade used. Hedge trimmers can have cutting capacities ranging from a minimum of 10 mm to a maximum of 35 mm.

A greater cutting capacity allows you to tackle thicker and sturdier branches, making the hedge trimmer more versatile and suitable for a wider range of gardening tasks. The choice of cutting diameter depends on the specific needs of the garden and the type of vegetation to be pruned.

Swivel handle

The swivel handle is a feature that significantly improves the ergonomics and comfort of use of hedge trimmers. This feature allows the handle to be positioned at different angles, facilitating cutting in various directions and reducing operator fatigue.

A rotating handle is particularly useful for prolonged work as it allows you to maintain a natural wrist and arm position, preventing tension and pain. It also improves cutting precision, allowing you to achieve more accurate and professional results. It is an essential feature for those who use hedge trimmers frequently and for prolonged periods.

Anti-vibration system

The anti-vibration system is a feature designed to reduce the vibrations transmitted to the operator when using the hedge trimmer. Vibrations can cause fatigue and discomfort, making work harder and less precise.

A good anti-vibration system uses shock absorbers or isolation mechanisms that absorb the vibrations generated by the engine and cutting blade. This not only increases operator comfort but also helps to improve cutting precision as the operator can maintain better control over the tool. Anti-vibration systems are particularly important in petrol models, which tend to generate more vibrations than electric or battery-powered models.

Cutting blade length

The length of the cutting blade is another crucial feature that determines the efficiency and speed of pruning work. Hedge trimmer blades can vary in length from 40 to 53 cm. A longer blade allows you to cover a larger cutting area with fewer passes, making the job quicker and less tiring.

However, a longer blade can be more difficult to handle in confined spaces or for precision details. The choice of blade length therefore depends on the specific needs of the garden and the type of vegetation. For work on wide and long hedges, a longer blade is ideal, while for precision work on small shrubs, a shorter blade may be more suitable.

Tooth opening

The hedge trimmer blade opening is an important measurement that affects the cutting capacity of the hedge trimmer. It indicates the distance between the teeth of the cutting blade and generally varies from 12 to 26 mm. A larger opening allows you to cut thicker branches, while a smaller opening is more suitable for precision work on thinner branches.

The choice of tooth opening depends on the type of vegetation to be pruned and the precision required. For hedges and shrubs with thicker branches, a larger opening is preferable, while for detailed work on more delicate plants, a smaller opening offers greater precision and control.
