I spent some time looking around for a long reach , battery hedge cutter. I even purchased another but the battery was too smal for such a job. The Sabre is excellent nice design , reach is great for about an 8 foot hedge with the ability to cut the top with the easily flexible head and unlike most a decent size cutting blade. This is possible because of the seperate and large battery that you can wear seperately. I used it on a large hedge and it coped easily, if a little heavy after a while .
Subsequently have had to return the charger and be careful with the blade section undoing slightly and disconnecting , dealer tells me they see a few that are 'broken' but just push it back in and lock it and away you go ! Still a great buy .

I have a large, tall hedge which I maintain with a petrol powered hedge clipper. However, I've always found it very difficult to get to the higher parts of the hedge, and using a ladder is hard work and precarious. I pondered for a long time on buying a petrol powered long reach trimmer, but they cost about £300, and it's only a small amount of hedge that I can't reach. So, after a lot of deliberatiion, and encouraged by the reviews here, I bought the flymo.
As you'd expect, it's no where near as powerful as a petrol trimmer. However, it has coped pretty well overall. It stuggles with the laurel parts of the hedge, which is very thick and green, but for other less dense parts it does very well. Even though the battery is on a belt (which is a clever idea), it's still pretty weighty when you're leaning over, but you can rest it against your hip to take some of the weight. It's well enough made and the articulating head is easy to adjust to find the right angle.
So overall I'm pleased enough to give it 5 stars, as it does the job I had in mind. If you had a fairly small hedge, this trimmer might be enough on its own to cope with the whole job. For me, it's a very good complement to a petrol timmer to get to those few, hard to reach spots.

Fed up having to use your extention lead or cutting through the cable every time you attempt to give the hedge a trim?...........well this Sabre cut hedge trimmer complete with 24 volt battery pack and charger could be just what you need.
My hedge in the back garden is about 15ft high by 30ft wide so the fact this trimmer is extendable for a greater reach of up to 3.2 meters and has a tilting head is a real bonus.
The battery pack goes over your shoulders and has a belt that ties around your waste but beware it is a little heavy.
You can cut up to 330m2 on a single charge but it can get a little frustrating if you haven't charged the battery pack enough and you run out of power before finishing the job in hand so do bare this in mind and plan things the day before.
All in all an easy to use hedge trimmer that reaches the parts other trimmers cannot reach.

This machine lasted two seasons. The telescoping, angled head is very useful, allowing you to reach otherwise difficult areas. Read more

This works very well for light hedge cutting work. The battery is rather heavy, but on the whole the outfit is less cumbersome than my previous cutter.

Better than expected
I read various reviews of this hedgetrimmer on various sites prior to buying. Many people stating the fact that there is a battery pack that gets in the way. Rubbish. Read more
