Excellent results are achieved through a perfect cut, especially with young hedges. This is guaranteed by the ultra-light and manageable shears from Bosch with extremely quiet running. The new Collecto from Bosch makes it easier to take care of your hedge: the clippers are simultaneously diverted to the side with every cutting movement. The Collecto is available as an accessory for the new AHS 42-16.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bosch hedge trimmer, 17 Sep 2008
By Mrs. Barbara Ward "naoussabarb" (Wales UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I received the trimmer today, and have used it to prune 2 different hedges and an overgrown honeysuckle, in about 3/4 hour. Previously this would have taken several hours to do.
It was a bit heavier than I expected, but I guess this is because it is a well made machine.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must have, 31 Mar 2009
By Mrs. Lynne Park (Cheshire, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
My previous Flymo gave up the ghost after a few years of service, but was a bit too heavy and unwieldly for me. I purchased the Bosch as a replacement and really like it. I have owned it for 2 years and it has worked hard for me as I have a mature garden with plenty of hedges etc. It does exactly what it says on the box. It hasn't given any reliability problems so far and I would recommend it, especially as it is lightweight and easy to handle. I don't think it would be well suited to very heavy-duty hedgecutting, but for normal gardens it is excellent - I couldn't be without mine !

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must, 16 Oct 2008
By S. Rehman (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Never had one and didn't fancy paying silly money for one. I really have to say this is a brilliant bit of kit. Not to heavy and cuts through all. Did my hedges very quickly. Value for money.

Took delivery of this item about three weeks ago, and it made trimming a privet and a deciduous hedge, along with a variety of overgrown bushes, a piece of cake. Read more
