Tall, wide and overgrown hedges are difficult — and unsafe — to cut from a ladder. A long-reach hedgecutter solves the problem, putting a powered cutting blade on the end of an extending shaft so you can trim the tops and far sides of a hedge with both feet firmly on the ground. It's the safe, comfortable way to keep big boundaries, conifers and established hedges in shape.
Most long-reach models have an articulating head that pivots through a range of angles, letting you cut flat across the top of a hedge and reach over and down the back without stretching. Look at the overall reach, the blade length and the cutting-angle range to match the machine to the height and depth of your hedges. Petrol models give you cordless freedom and power for long sessions, while battery versions are lighter and quieter for domestic use.
Safer hedge work
Keeping both feet on the ground removes the biggest risk in hedge cutting — falls from ladders — while the extended reach lets you achieve a neat, level finish on hedges that would otherwise need a platform. Always wear eye and ear protection and keep bystanders well clear while you work.
