Hedge Trimmers Outdoor Power Equipment Yard, Garden & Outdoor Living
In the market for one of our hedge trimmers? Here are a few basic things to consider before deciding which trimmer to buy for your garden. There are three different types of hedge trimmers to choose from: electric, gas, and battery-powered. Each type has its own pros and cons, so the right trimmer for you depends on the size of your gardening job.
Discount & Bargain
Gas hedge trimmers are the most powerful and portable. You are not limited by the length of an extension cord or the duration of a battery charge. The downside is that gas trimmers are also much louder, heavier, and will emit noxious exhaust fumes during use. Electric trimmers are lighter and easier to handle, but are only useful if you have a small yard. The range of the electrical cord is too restrictive to cover larger areas. It can also be dangerous to have electrical cords strewn across the yard while you are cutting.
A rechargeable battery-powered hedge trimmer gives you the best of both worlds. You get the portability of a gas trimmer without the noise and pollution. There won't be a power cord in your way or holding you back, but you will have to limit your work to the short duration of your battery pack. One way around this is to purchase additional battery packs so you can just swap them and go on your way. If you have difficult areas to reach in your yard, you may want a double-position hedge trimmer.

Sparks, spills, grease and flare-ups are inevitable when cooking and eating in your backyard, whether it involves feeding the family or entertaining a crowd. Outdoor living can cause serious damage to a patio, porch or deck in which you've made a substantial financial investment and perhaps devoted many hours of labor.
