Best Small Hedge Trimmers

What Is the Best Small Hedge Trimmers?

What are the best small hedge trimmers for your garden? A small electric hedge trimmer is usually a light weight, low-powered version which is easy to use for short, simple trimming jobs in the backyard. What are the advantages and disadvantages of using these electric hedge trimmers? A gas- powered hedge trimming trimmer uses petrol to power it; the engine burns petrol for the power and a spark ignition system will automatically ignite the petrol, thereby burning the fuel and providing you with enough power to carry out your task. The drawback is that it uses up to a litre of petrol per hour, so if you don't have a great place to park it, then you won't be able to get it to its maximum working capacity.

Gasoline powered hedge trimmers are the best small hedge trimmer for the home user, as they are light, compact, powerful and can easily be stored when not in use, allowing for easy portability. Also, due to the fact that they are run off of petrol, they are cleaner, more environmentally friendly, and therefore better for the environment than petrol powered lawn mowers, which can leak, emit harmful gasses and can also damage the surrounding grass and soil. But despite their benefits, gas-purchased gas hedge trimmers can be very expensive, and as a result some people find themselves paying large sums of money on top of the purchase price for a gas hedge-trimmer. Is there a way to cut the costs?

A corded hedge trimming machine might seem to be the best small hedge trimmer option; however it is also one of the most expensive. A corded trimmer requires a powerful battery to run and is bulky, causing it to take up valuable working space, not to mention any rooms in the house that it might not be needed. The batteries in cordless hedge-trimmers are much smaller and lighter, however they have no power like the corded models do and so run out of battery quickly. They are therefore not portable or practical for those who work on a regular basis using the hedge trimmers, and can even affect the battery's lifespan.

 

 

In comparison, cordless hedge machines are lightweight, small and more compact. The lack of a cord also means that they are more convenient to use than the corded ones, as they can often be used wirelessly. However, even cordless ones still require an outlet for charging, meaning that they are only truly mobile if they have a spare battery. As well as this, the cordless cord can also be quite short, making it difficult to get into some tight places.

The best trimmers on the market are those with a lightweight, ergonomic design. They are designed to give you the best control when cutting branches, without having the hand becoming tired and/or fatigued from holding the trimmer the whole time it is in use. The main differences between the cordless and corded variety are in weight, size and general power of the cutting blades. The smaller, lightweight ones tend to be cheaper, as well as being easier to get in and out of storage cases and moving them around.

Larger trimmers, often referred to as "fixed" trimmers, come with larger, heavy-duty blades. These are generally suitable for larger branches or trees and are most useful for trimming jobs involving wider areas. Some of the best fixed trimmers tend to have a larger cutting deck and are perfect for landscaping and such. However, some of these are very heavy and very unwieldy, which may mean that the user has to take care when moving them around. A good fixer upper needs to be both lightweight and strong, but for smaller jobs a lightweight trimmer will be more than enough.

Handheld mini trimmers can also be quite useful for trimming small areas and are particularly useful when you are doing extensive work over large areas, like on an estate or large lawn. As with any handheld device however, there is potential for the user to injure himself if he doesn't use common sense. For example, the user should not trim the branch in a diagonal direction, or in an S-shape. In some cases, using a trimmer like this can also reduce the amount of healthy branches that die back, reducing the workload for the trimmers and allowing the user to more effectively cut back on the overall amount of leaf litter. The main danger is that the user can overdo it, clipping too much foliage at once, leading to a mess and possibly even damage or death to one of his tools.

Trimmers with a special blade type known as a soft grip are ideal for working in a wide variety of conditions. A soft grip will have a more secure hold on branches, which means you won't accidentally slip off. As well as being safer, they are far less likely to snag on their blades and give you a clean cut. It is important that if you plan on buying one of these trimmers to ensure you opt for one with a good blade for cutting branches, especially if you tend to work hard and use it frequently.
