    Brilliant job. Looks great. I have one of those Stihl hedge cutters and I bought the extension shaft. Brilliant machine. Also be careful. I always wear safety glasses because it only takes a second to put them on and only takes a second to lose your eyesight. Take care and stay safe.

      Thanks mate. Yeah I need to be better with my safety glasses to be fair. Always when strimming but usually forget whilst hedge trimming 😬

    Thats a great job, liked the finish was a big round box hedge, The cutters looked as though they breezed through it. Keep up the good work.

    Great job. I've just subscribed to your channel and I'm really enjoying it. I've been a gardener for almost 7 years and I hope you don't mind me giving you a couple of little tips. Get some tarpaulins and lay them under the hedge as you cut, it'll catch nearly all the bits and you just roll it up and tip it in the bin/bag. Only a minimum to sweep up then. I've also got a uniform, for two reasons really. 1. I don't have to think about what i'm going to wear and ruin my clothes, plus you can claim on the tax. 2. It also sets you apart from the people who just chop things up for a living. Looking forward to your next video.

      Hi there, thanks for subscribing! Glad you're enjoying the videos. This is my work waterproof jacket in this video, and I've just got a uniform all embroidered ready to go for the new season, so I'll look a lot better! Also getting the van sign written.
      I usually have this long scaffold net thing I use, can't quite remember why I didn't use it here 😆

    If I was younger, I would probably switch to battery, but at the end of the day, the person using the tool is far more important than the tool itself! Give the best tool in the world to an idiot, you'll get a shit job!

      Fair enough. I'm hoping to have both in time. I just wanted something lightweight that will work work as soon as I pressed the button. Less power though granted so I wouldn't be doing any big reductions with it. Love it though

    why dont you set up your cgarger in the van and get a jackery too use too charge it. its worth it in the long run
