GARCARE 2-in-1 Electric Hedge Trimmer & Pole Pruner, 4.8A Corded Shrub Trimmer with 20-Inch Laser-Cut Blade, Extendable 7.4ft to 9ft for High Branches

Has a bit of weight to it, but is easy to use & is just what we needed

Arrived as promised, well packaged and assembled very easily. It’s quite heavy on the extended pole, but not to unwieldy. It cuts like a knife through butter, very impressed with first use. Time will tell on reliability 🤞

It's always going to be heavy with a long reach hedge trimmer and maybe this is lighter than my last ( an Aldi special) but the beauty is you can turn this one into a normal hedge clipper ! It doesn't feel the most robust, only time will tell, but it cuts well, and for the price I'm impressed!

Bought this to cut around a high growing bush 5 metres, the trimmer works very well but using the extension is very difficult and heavy

Excellent cutting power and reach but quite heavy to control.

Mains powered, excellent and powerful extendable tree pruner with 20mm wide saw jaws will tackle most jobs around the garden. Can be used in 'short mode' with switch handle plugged directly into pruner head, or with extension section which simply plugs in between switch handle and pruner head. This extension section incorporates a sliding inner section to further extend the pruner. Fully extended the pruner is quite heavy and needs care with handling but the large handle on the extension section and the shoulder sling helps provide control.

Don’t be fooled by the images this is heavy and can be unwieldy. If the instructions are in English the. It is a language I have never used before. All of the weight as one would expect is at the front by the blade, but if you extend the pole you can expect to work only in short bursts before the strain on upper arms and shoulders becomes too great. You will need frequent rests.It trims standard hedge very well but thicker stems require the accompanying saw. If you have a lot of hedge to trim/ cut be prepared for sore arms!If you can allow for the above it does the jobUPDATE 2/6/2022. I came to use the hedge trimmer again to cut the tops off the holly hedge in my garden. After approximately 20 minutes and on a moderately warm day but by no means hot, it stopped working.I looked at the few troubleshooting tips that were available and then looked online. The only thing I could thing of was that it over heated which was surprising because it was being used sparingly. It hasn't worked since.I must stress that the item has had only light use since I purchased it. It will trim a hedge but the weight and maneuverability of the trimmer really work against it. Even with the shoulder strap you will certainly know you have been using it . I did not abuse the trimmer , indeed far from it, but it has stopped working. I would not recommend to anyone other than Arnold Schwarzenegger,

Works. Great
