eSkde 2-in-1 600w Electric Pole Pruner & 450w Pole Hedge Trimmer with Telescopic Aluminium Handle,10m Cable & Long Reach Design

This is an amazing combination of hedge cutter and chainsaw, and good value. It's excellent, both tools work very well. The hedge cutter is not as powerful as some dedicated machines, but is good enough for 16mm branches and lighter than some of those powerful beasts - in terms of weight, bear in mind that when attached to the extension it feels heavy when held at an angle. The chainsaw is super, runs smoothly and cuts well. The only thing you cannot do is work at close quarters due to the minimum length of the arm, if you hold the machine close, you can't reach the trigger. It comes with one refill of chainsaw oil, so works out of the box. Assembly is straightforward, it took me about 30 minutes to assemble. The chainsaw needs the most attention making sure the teeth face the right way and the tension is correct, with everything secure. I couldn't really understand where to put the shoulder strap, it's a little cumbersome wherever you put it. The power is passed through the arm - when the chainsaw and hedge cutter are attached, they slot into a power connector at the end of the arm.

I ordered this item with a little trepidation given that it's not a "high-street" brand and because I'd previously bought a battery powered hedge trimmer that was nothing short of useless and stopped working after about 30 seconds. I was hoping that this trimmer would be the dogs... And it certainly is! The hedge trimmer is powerful and more than adequate attacking the large hawthorn hedge at the back of our garden. The addition of the chainsaw attachment for those larger bits of branch is a real winner - I was surprised at how quickly and effectively it did the job. I would thoroughly recommend this bit of kit, the only downside is that it is heavy and for someone a lot smaller than me (I'm 6ft 3) it might be difficult to wield this at it's full extent.

This is an excellent product. Well made and solid. It has worked with no issue (cutting two car loads of branches). Note the oil will very slowly leak out but this is probably unavoidable. The addition of the hedge trimmer gives you effectively two products in one. The reach is very long, more than enough for most situations. The only thing to be aware of is that it is very heavy so you cannot use it for too long. The key is to get the harness to take as much of the weight as possible.

Used for 1st time today, really heavy compared to previous hedge cutter, The trigger release button is very small and fiddly and awkward to press when you have proper working gloves on The blades both cut very well mind you but still doesn’t help with weight The chainsaw oil cap doesn’t seal properly and leaks if on its side no rubber O ring to overall poor quality

The edge trimmer can only be used for a short period as it is very heavy. it does the intended job but when extended its awarkward due to heavy unbalanced weight It is worse with the chainsaw attachment . I can understand why the designer has selected this design criteria .it's well made with robust design.

Brought this after going through many reviews on this and other products. Been using this for about a month now and all I can say is that you won’t be disappointed with the results. On unpacking there is some assembly to do, but the instructions were straight forward enough and if you can use a screw driver then you should have no problems putting this together Reading through some of the other reviews on this product, there were some comments about the looper not cutting, I think this was done to the assembly as the chain only cuts one way so if you’ve put the chain on backwards it won’t, just follow the instructions and you’ll be fine Trimmer rims as it should and the looper will t through pretty much anything like butter The long reach pole was the main reason to buy this and at 2.4m easily reaches what I needed to cut. It is a little weighty but I was in no rush so just cut a few, tidied up and cut some more. Not too much of an issue All in all does what I hoped for and at nearly half the price of more branded models, very happy indeed

Works very well and is very versatile. My reason for 4 rather than 5 stars are twofold. 1. It is quite a heavy beast, even with the shoulder strap in use. It helps if you wedge the end into your stomach/groin. 2. Don't leave chain oil in the saw as it leaks and goes everywhere, as I have found to my cost. Other than that it's a fine piece of kit and has made short work of the tops of my 100m of hedging.

Very happy. I had to trim a huge hedge...some main branches were three inches thick and it went through them like butter, no issues with torque. It did the job and didn't break despite a very violent all-day session! My only gripe is that foliage gets jammed up behind the drive gear cover. I see that as a point of failure, but you just have to keep a screwdriver/knife handy to periodically remove stuck twigs. If this design were improved, it would be 100% superb.... nevertheless, I'm thrilled. I'll never go back to petrol. Folks say this is heavy, try a petrol engine on your waist and you'll know about heavy!
