Ryobi PCN-4545

Advantages: Power motor 500 watts - light weight - heavy duty
Disadvantages: Trailing mains cable

...With 80 yards of 8 foot hedge, an elderly gardener and no time, something had to be done. The doctor gave me the answer, more exercise so I thought gardening. I’ve used hedge cutters before, about 30 years ago, and we did buy a cordless Black & Decker about 5 years ago. But the answer is the Ryobi HT550 with its 500 watt motor, wide spread teeth and 24 inch double action blades it cuts hedges faster than a single person can bag up the cuttings. Light weight but powerful it may cost you more than some but it is a dream to use and easy to service with parts lists and exploded diagrams available on the WWW. Just keep it oiled and your hedges will delight you whether they are fine or coarse the Ryobi will cut, trim or reshape .
