Any recommendations on hedge trimmers?
Original Message Jun 24, 2005 12:18 am

I'm in the market for a hedge trimmer and would appreciate any advice and/or recommendations you may have. One question I have is whether there is a preference for gas vs. electric? I have plenty of available electric outlets near the hedges that are my primary concern.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions/information.

Brian, thanks for the input. I also was going back and forth on the cordless, and decided that since I had many available outdoor outlets I'd take the increased power.

We're actually neighbors as I live in North Bellmore. Smaill world, huh!

The best Hedge Trimmers I have used are the Stihl HS80 and the Tanaka THT 2100 Both are Double Sided trimmers that run Commercial grade engines. The Tanaka has the upper hand on weight, handle adjustment and of course pricing. Here are some links.

I have the Makita electric hedge trimmer and it works great. Tons of power and not to o heavey to handle either. I know Amazon.com used to sell them, not sure if they still do or not.

I have both electric and gas. I haven't used the electric since I bought the Echo. No comparison between the two.
