In terms of adjustability, the trimmer has an extendible (telescopic) handle which provides extra reach, letting you cut the tops of hedges up to 10ft tall with ease. The cutter head offers a variety of positions (up to 135 degrees) so that you can cut in a more comfortable manner. This together with the comfortable harness lets you trim with minimal fatigue.
