A telescopic hedge trimmer is ideal for cutting taller hedges and shrubs without the need for ladders or climbing equipment that could cause a dangerous hazard. They allow you to reach these taller areas yourself so there's no need to call in specialists therefore saving you money. Telescopic garden hedge trimmers are sometimes also called longreach garden hedge trimmers.
A telescopic hedge trimmer is usually petrol driven or powered by a rechargeable battery. This allows you to get to the taller hedges and shrubs without having to worry about trailing wires and cables. Most telescopic garden cutters consist of the power unit or motor and a long pole before ending the the blade section used for cutting.
Companies such as Gtech and Ryobi are well known manufacturers of long reach and telescopic garden hedge trimmers making a wide variety of models to suit different requirements and budgets.
