Bosch AHS 60-26 Review

The Bosch AHS 60-26 Electric Hedge Cutter is a lightweight, comfortable and well designed tool. It's suitable for small to medium sized hedges, boasting an impressive 60cm blade length and a 26mm tooth opening. It allows for the cutting of branches up to 32mm in diameter thanks to its sawing function. Its 600W motor delivers more than ample power to allow for both a high and consistent performance.

The Bosch AHS 60-26 Electric Hedge Cutter comes with a guard for safety. This guard is see-through, therefore allowing you to see the blades whilst you're using it. One feature which we particularly like is the blade tip protector which prevents damage from walls, floors, and similar. Note that the cutter is lightweight, weighing only 3.7kg.
