Bosch EasyHedgeCut 18-45 Review

The Bosch EasyHedgeCut 18-45 Cordless Hedge Cutter is a well designed, high performance and easy to use hedge trimmer which is meant for small sized hedges. It has a 45cm long blade and a 15mm tooth spacing. The trimmer is a cordless tool which lets you take it wherever it's needed without being restricted by any power cables. There's also no power cable tugging, as you often get with corded hedge trimmers.

We particularly like the trimmer's anti-blocking technology which uses software to detect when the blades are jammed and then acts to unjam them, meaning you can cut hedges continuously without having to stop. We also like the blade tip protector which allows hedges to be cut precisely without the blade tips making contact with anything that isn't a branch.
