How to choose Hedge Trimmers

 One of the most important tools in any gardener’s arsenal is a quality hedge trimmer. But with so many brands and models on the market, it can be difficult to choose one that best suits your specific needs.

• What type of hedges are you trimming? When it comes to the hedge trimmer, it’s important to consider what type of hedges you’ll be cutting. There are different hedge trimmers designed for different hedge types.
• How big is the hedge? The size of your hedge trimmer, as well as the attachments you need, will depend on how big your hedge is.
• Do you need the hedge trimmer to prune, trim, or edge? If you want a hedge trimmer that can prune your hedges, you’ll need to choose between corded and cordless. Corded hedge trimmers require an extension cord, while cordless trimmers are powered by rechargeable or replaceable batteries, which make them more portable.
• What attachments do you need? Many hedge trimmers come with additional attachments, such as a delimbing blade or hedge shear. These are usually sold separately, but they may be included with more expensive models.
• Are you left-handed? Some hedge trimmers are specifically designed to be easier to use for left-handed people, including left-handed people.
• Do you need a long reach? Some hedge trimmers offer a longer reach than others. Longer-reach hedge trimmers are useful for trimming hedges along fences, in hard-to-reach places, and around flower beds.
• What type of fuel source do I need? Hedge trimmers operate with a fuel source, usually a 2-cycle engine or gas-powered. Some models offer electric options, as well.

How to maintain Hedge Trimmers

When it comes to maintaining hedge trimmers, it’s important to store them properly when not in use. Most manufacturers recommend storing the trimmers in a shed or garage. Also, be sure to inspect the blades for signs of wear and rust, and replace them if needed.

• To clean the blades, start by spraying them with rubbing alcohol and wiping them down with a cloth.
• Wipe the outside of the trimmer with rubbing alcohol, too.
• To sharpen the blades, use a stone or metal file to sharpen the blades, taking care not to bend or break them.
• To clean the trimmer body, remove the blades and spray with rubbing alcohol, then wipe down the parts with a cloth.
• After cleaning the trimmer, store it in a shed or garage.
