Flymo SabreCut XT Cordless Review

The Flymo SabreCut XT Cordless Hedge Trimmer is a lightweight, well designed and highly versatile tool which is ideal for cutting hedges in medium sized gardens. It offers an impressive cutting length of 42cm and a 16mm branch capacity. We like the fact that it has a tilting head and a handle which can be extended (to increase reach) so that you can cut the tops of hedges with ease, and without needing a ladder.
