Terratek Handheld Cordless Hedge Trimmer Telescopic Pole Bundle

This is a toolset combining a telescopic-pole grass and weed trimmer with a handheld shrub trimmer. They share the same body, motor, battery and charger, with different lengths of interchangeable blades. The shrub trimmer blades cut right-left, and the grass trimmer cuts as you move in a forward direction. It is well-designed, lightweight, effective, appropriately powered for its tasks, and comfortable to use for the length of the battery charge.I am fortunate to have a large, wild garden, with areas of grass, herbaceous plants, and woodland – developed on old farmland over decades, but still heavily subject to invasion by weeds. Until now I have used an elderly (like me) pole hedge trimmer (which cuts right-left) to cut out weeds like rosebay willow-herb, but (like me) that has recently been struggling to deal with this. I already have a heavy-duty Terratek telescopic hedge-trimmer, which is too heavy to use for this work, and have been impressed with it, so decided to give the lighter-weight toolset a try. I have not been disappointed – in fact, I have been delighted.The shrub trimmer is a pleasure to use and effective for light growth. Because the grass trimmer cuts moving forward, it is much easier to be selective when cutting out weeds in a border, and so lightweight it is also a pleasure to use. It cuts grass edges round a border effectively – although I think the purpose of the wheels on the carriage is simply to keep the blades off the ground. As I suspected, you are told in the instructions not to use the shrub trimmer with the carriage and pole.I am not mechanically minded and prefer text-based instructions to graphics, so figuring out how to assemble and disassemble the parts required some patience – but once you have the know-how, it’s straightforward.For use in appropriate circumstances, I would not hesitate to recommend this toolset.

I have a small patch of grass in my front garden that I was having to use a strimmer for. I hated having to bring in extension leads etc and would put off doing the job. I spent ages looking for a cordless tool and eventually settled on this though it was a risk as reviews were mixed.Well I absolutely love it! Was very easy to set up and simple to charge. It makes quick work of my patch of grass and is so easy to do it’s no longer a job I put off doing. One plus point is that compared to the strimmer it is so quiet! If I wanted to I could easily use it late in the evening without disturbing neighbours. I don’t have to dodge stones being kicked up by the strimmer and no more trailing extensions leads. It is very light and doesn’t seem particularly robust but I’ve been using it a few weeks now with no issues.

This is more of a query, I have had Terratek 2 IN 1 7.2V Telescopic Cordless Hedge Trimmer for just under a year, it is an excellent product, as is the Terratek cordless drill, which I have had for a few years, and it is still going strong! Best thing since sliced bread!My query about the trimmer is that when I received it, I fitted the extension handle, which has been on it since purchase, but when I tried to remove it today, I cannot!I went onto question on Amazon, where I followed the instruction, but when I search for the pin near the left hand wheel, blades facing away from me, I cannot find it, even looking with a powerful torch, There was a mention, by someone that screws had to be undone, is this correct and which ones?

It’s an okay product that’s useable straight out of the box, as I did. It’s a nice little tool for cutting the grass where your bigger mower can’t (or you don’t want it to) go, such as around plants or along borders and so on.The extension pole is a good idea, however it’s a little short. I’m just about 6 feet tall, and I’m having to stoop a bit while using it. It could do with a better connection to the wheels as well, as the screws that attach it kept working their way loose while I was using it, making the extension somewhat lopsided during use.The plastic wheels are a nice feature, and 70% of the time they work properly however I think they would have been better if they were a little bigger. At the moment the slightest bump in your lawn gets it stuck. It is light weight enough to simply pick up and move along, however bigger wheels would (in my opinion) make it that bit more useable.Battery life seems good so far. It has a handy led guide on the unit - it was on amber when I took it out of the box and it got nearly all the way around my garden and plants before needing a charge.Overall it seems a bit cheaply made, a bit plastic-y and almost thrown together at the last minute. A shame, as I own a Terratek drill that seems much sturdier. For gentle use it should be fine, just prepare to be underwhelmed.

i was impressed it trimmed prickly privit and a bush hedge tackled most but not thick branches .used on blackberry and it tackled easily so saved having to cut down with pruners also chopped nettles own and cut ivy down well. then tried grass cutter which went well cutting between pavement weeds and the pole saved on bending down . so all in all very good. battery was flat on arrival but once charged did well. the blades was easy to change too

This item was purchased on the 16th of June 22. When I tried to charge it the product would not work properly and kept powering out. I read the instruction on how to charge this item which was fairly straight forward. The product persisted in not working and I needed it for some garden work. I contacted the seller and found that another product of the same type had been sent out to my home by the seller. I have charged the new one and it was perfect, no cutting out issues so far so good.

This product had mixed reviews but I thought it was worth a punt for the price. I think it is good value for money. The worst thing is it is a little slow to charge, I think the instructions said 5 hours for first charge which it did take. I've recharged it twice now and haven't clocked how long it took not five hours but definitely over 2. The buttons you push in to keep it running could perhaps be a little bit finger friendlier.It says it has a 60 minute run time and it certainly hasn't run out of power when I've used it. I've also been pleased to find despite the relatively small size of the batter it holds it's charge well between uses. I've recently used the hedgetrimmer adapter to cut back plants like crocosmia and honeysuckle which has made the job a a breeze. I help out maintaining some of the beds at our local park which don't get edged. This made the job a breeze to roll it round the edges with the long handle first where the council mower doesn't quite get, then I went in on hands and knees and used it as a hand attachment on it's side to neaten the raw edge.It's not as neat as traditional hand shears but it does a decent enough job. I suffer with a little arthritis in my fingers which can lock with repeated movements over a prolonged period. An hour and half using this and it didn't happen.I'm happy with my purchase.

I've never managed to use a grass strimmer so up until now I cut the edges of our lawn with hand shears but last year I found my knees were very sore with kneeling down. This cordless trimmer is lightweight and with the extension pole enables me to cut the grass edges without kneeling. I found the trimmer easy to maneuver and it easily cut all the edges along the path and beside a flower border. I would recommend this trimmer.
