Current slide {CURRENT_SLIDE} of {TOTAL_SLIDES}- Save on Hedge Trimmers
It certainly increases the range/reach from a standard hedge trimmer, probably best saved to only do the harder to reach bits, as manouevring is more awkward due to size, and the weight (at distance) gets tiring. With the wider 22mm cutting capacity, it can get into thicker evergreen growth that normally just deflects my existing hedge trimmer. I wouldn't consider a cordless unit (lack of power, short runtimes) so this is just the job. Only down side: Assembling the pole into the unit, it was impossible to get it to engage *all* the way into the tool, until it locked, needed to slacken off and remove a single large cross-head bolt through the handle to get a bit more wiggle room, then it went in with a push, now all solid and secure. It could use a mark on the pole to show how deep it is intended to engage, as it would be easy to think it was in, when it's not fully home.Read full review

Owned an Aldi long reach cutter for 3 years Ordered McAllister but very disappointed Way too heavy will definitely be buying another from Aldi longer reach and much much lighter and easy to use. I will sell this one on waste of time don't buy unless you are built like the Hulk rubbish

My first impression of MacAlister pole cutter was the price. For what you paid its quality design and functionality amazing. I was surprised on opening the box its ability to be folded completely in half to transit. I liked also how it was straight forward to put together by just following the manual instructions provided. To do this you simply pushed together the two halves making sure you aligning yellow arrows stickers. Once do you then slide up the threaded sheath to secured the poles together and you're ready to go. I found the cutter teeth very sharp. How it had a guard and other safety features. The engine easily handled the thicker branches of my hedge. The unit was well balanced and to extend the pole for harder reaching areas was very easy by unclipping a latch to extend.

Really good at getting through thick hedges and the angle function is a big help. Decent length and easy to prepare. Only negative is weight! It's quite heavy after a while and the shoulder strap isnt really much use.

as expected a little heavy, but to have a great reach and power to cut a 20mm branch, anything lighter, would not do the job.
