The are three main hedge trimmers, electric, cordless battery-powered and petrol hedge trimmers, each of which will suit the needs of different users. A hedge trimmer, bush trimmer or shrub trimmer are gardening tools used for cutting, pruning and trimming all hedges and bushes.
The electric hedge trimmer works by using the electrical current provided by either the mains connection or battery, to power the motor, which provides the oscillations which the blades need. Whilst you will find that the Electric motors are less powerful than gas you will find that they are much quieter.
