Bosch UniversalHedgePole Review

The Bosch UniversalHedgePole Cordless Hedge Cutter is a lightweight, highly manoeuvrable and powerful hedge cutter. It's designed for difficult jobs, cutting tall and wide hedges with ease. It has a flexible pivoting cutting head which allows it to cut the top, bottom and the sides of hedges. It's a cordless tool which is powered by an 18V lithium-ion battery which can be used with other Bosch tools.

We particularly like the cutter's anti-blocking system which protects against stopping and stalling by reversing the direction of the blades in order to ensure a successful cut. We also like the cutter's adjustable handle which can make the tool up to 2.6 metres long.
