[Shop-talk] Electric Hedge Trimmers

[Jack Brooks]

Add one more satisfies HedgeHog owner.  I've also clipped the cord once.
Argggg!

I used to use my Dad's old clipper that attached to a standard electric
drill with a large hose type clamp.  Not so good. . . . . .

I have to agree with Mark.  I also have an 8 year old Hedge Hog (same 22"
model) and that sucker really goes through the bushes.  My experience has
also been that it will do up to 3/4", though it has to knaw at branches that
size for a couple seconds.  I'm happy with it and it shows no signs of
dying.
