How to choose Hedge Trimmers

When shopping for hedge trimmers, there are several key factors to keep in mind

Are the blades sharp? The blades on a hedge trimmer should be sharp, otherwise, you will damage your hedges and grass.
Is the trimmer cordless or corded? Cordless hedge trimmers are lighter and easier to use than corded models. However, they are more expensive. Both types have their pros and cons, so its best to determine the type of trimmer that will be most beneficial to you.
Does the trimmer come with a hedge trimmer blade? If you already own a hedge trimmer, but are looking for a second blade, or need to keep a spare blade on hand, make sure the trimmer you buy comes with a blade. Some blades are not compatible with all hedge trimmers.
Is it easy to change the blade? Some hedge trimmers come with a blade-changing tool, while others require that the user remove the cutting head to change the blade. Keep in mind that cheaper trimmers may not have included blade-changing tools, requiring the buyer to purchase the tool separately.

How to maintain Hedge Trimmers

Many homeowners use hedge trimmers to keep hedges neat and trimmed. These string trimmers come in many different sizes, from trimmers used to trim small hedges to large models that can be used to trim entire properties.

Clean the blades: Over time, oil on the blades of the trimmer can build up, making it difficult for the blades to move freely. To test the tightness of the blades, hold the trimmer upside down and pull the trimmer’s trigger. If the blades move freely, they need oiling. If they’re stuck, you’ll need to remove the blades and wash them with a wire brush.
Change the oil and air filter: Oil on the blades can build up over time, so it’s important to periodically change the oil and air filter. Most string trimmers have an oil reservoir on the top of the trimmer, which can be easily accessed by unscrewing the top cap. To replace the air filter, pull the trimmer’s trigger to unscrew it.
Sharpen the blades: If your hedge trimmer’s blades become dull, it is likely to cause more problems rather than fix them. To sharpen blades, use a wire brush to scrub the blades and then sharpen them with a whetstone.
Check the cord: Check the cord of your hedge trimmer before each use. Make sure there aren’t any loose or frayed wires. If there are, you’ll need to replace the cord.
