Pros & Cons
Cons
It is extremely heavy, even when it is in the non extended mode. Lacking power. Have reverted to using a ladder and petrol strimmer.

Price
Someone does sell an adapter to enable use of professional tool batteries however (about £14).

Just used this for the 1st time today so cant give an opinion on its durability although it does seem well built previous to this i used to cut the hedge using a bosch cordless hedge trimmer none telescopic and i would say theres pros and cons using either method firstly the original none telescopic cutter is a good deal lighter and easier to use but is obviously limited by reach and ladders were totally neccessary also when at full stretch vertically the cuttings used to drop in your hair eyes etc

The quality of the cut i would say was pretty good as you can see on supplied pics all in all i would say it did make life a little easier although i still had to use ladders as my hedge probably like so many others is way to wide to cut by angling the head as they would have you believe

I managed to get about 34 of the hedge cut which is around 30 metres by 4 metres before the battery give in fortunately i had a spare so not a problemhowever this brings me on to another minus point the kit is advertised by amazon as coming with the al 1830cv charger this is not the case at least not for me as mine came with the al 18 v 20 charger which is not as fast been only 2 amp as opposed to the 1830 been 3 amp
