Tough and effective and a good workout as a little heavy. Battery lasts ages.
Lionel –
Very good easy to use and battery life good
Robin Briggs –
This is a simple but well made accessory, and it makes a real difference to the range of the hedge cutter. It does make it about as heavy as can be easily managed, which is understandable.
Eric Kidner –
Exellent piece of kit ,easy to assemble.
Mr Douglas MacMillan –
Solid made , only provides about 2 feet extension.Makes usage a bit top heavy horizontally.
I bought a second extension shaft for an extra high hedge ( about 10 feet) as I don’t like ladders.
BEWARE the extension shafts have been designed to stop you using more than one! HOWEVER with a small file you can easily file away the two plastic pins inside the male end of one of the extension shafts which are stopping the shafts engage the electrical spade connectors.( be careful not to damage the electrical spade connectors ) Hey presto you now have another 2 foot extension ( making vertical usage work fine)
Mr Bethel –
Bought with the hedge trimmer to enable me to trim the higher edges. Did not use it all the time but when needed it was very useful avoiding the need for platforms.

Pretty essential for extra reach without adding too much weight to the already heavy LiOn battery hedge trimmer. Just push on and lock with the orange screw
