Four Reasons why gardeners prefer Petrol Hedge Trimmers to Electric ones
Electric hedge trimmers are popular, but increasingly, gardeners are turning to petrol hedge trimmers to take care of their garden hedges. There are four main reasons for this.
1. If you have a large garden, the petrol hedge trimmer has the great advantage that it can be used anywhere, even in the most inaccessible corners where it might be difficult to have a mains supply. This makes the petrol models more versatile than electric ones, especially as the two-stroke engine can be used at any angle to trim difficult, shaped or high hedges.
2. Petrol hedge trimmers are generally more powerful than the comparable electric models. They can cut through larger hedges with woody growth much more easily without getting uncut bits of twig caught in the blades and causing the mechanism to seize. The extra power advantage comes from the energy-efficient, two-stroke engine which has a power stroke with every downward stroke of the piston. It also makes a petrol hedge trimmer more suited to frequent use and if well-maintained, it will give years of reliable service.
3. For safety reasons, a petrol hedge trimmer may be preferable to an electric model because there is no cord that could be cut through in an accident, or which could present a trip hazard whilst working in the garden. A cord can also become snagged on other branches whilst you are cutting which could pose another hazard, particularly when you are working at a height.
4. You do not have to wait for a dry day to cut your hedge with a petrol hedge cutter. Unlike Electric models which are not safe to use in wet conditions, there is no problem using your petrol machine on a wet day or on a wet hedge.
Electric Hedge Trimmers will always have their place and are convenient to use in a small garden. They are also quieter to use and this may be preferable in Urban areas. However, the factors of versatility, safety, power and reliability mean that the Petrol Hedge Trimmer is becoming ever more popular.
