Battery-operated ones blow. And if you go with cord-operated, you’ll end up wishing you bought a gas-operated one in a couple months. (Unless you really don’t have much work to do).

Neither

Cords a pain and you will nick or cut it for sure

Gas “Stihl”

Some models you can add attachments to

Go to Amazon.com, enter the product you are interested in and read the reviews. There are hundreds of them.

Every electric hedge clipper eventually becomes a cordless one...............

As someone who has cut through my own cord on more than one occasion (with results that resembled Roy Hobbs driving that ball into the light tower) I vote for battery.

Why don't you post this drivel on facebook?

or call your local library.

I know I have the choice not to read your posts, but If I don't protest, how would you know?

Get a chain saw.
Not necessarily a tidy job but if you really want to cut it down to size, get a saw, not a clipper.

When I was a kid, I saw a young man clip his fingers while tugging on the extension cord to get some slack. Docs were able to stitch them back on but he always looked like he was giving the finger to everyone. As a kid, I was not traumatized but now I have a healthy respect for my lawn tools with sharp blades. I personally use an electric hedge clipper only because I inherited them... and I keep my hands a safe distance from those blood thirsty blades!

Little pricey $100+ but mine has both cord and battery capability. Sometimes you feel like a cord, sometimes you don’t.

I have a Black & Decker electric 16" electric cord-connected hedge clipper that I've used for over 10 years. Used it a week ago; still going strong.

For string trimmers, I recommend gas. I always burn out the motors on electric string trimmers.

I use one of these. They are energy efficient and can be considered "Green".

Threads like this are one of the reasons I'm a Monthly Donor.
Politics suck, and even with all our bitchin' the bastards won't change til we start hangin'em.

But stuff like this helps keep the wheels on.

ps: check Craigslist

The best hedge trimmer is the one your gardener prefers.

Nothing but gas powered.

Don't even CONSIDER anything else.
