Handheld hedge trimmers are battery-powered tools used for trimming hedges, differing from traditional models that require a power cord. The primary advantage of being cordless is the increased mobility, making them ideal for use in tight spaces or areas without power outlets. These trimmers are typically more compact and produce gentle vibrations, enhancing ease of handling. However, compared to engine-powered or corded models, they offer less power output and are not suitable for prolonged use due to limited battery life.
Handheld hedge trimmers are categorized based on the type of battery they utilize. Rechargeable models involve charging and reusing the same battery, while replaceable types necessitate changing the battery after each use.
