How does the Cobra H5024V Li-Ion cordless hedge trimmer rate? Aside from that, since you are using a potentially dangerous machine, we would always recommend a good pair of safety specs and some well-made gardening gloves. However, it might be worth investing in another battery as it is always easier to have a spare battery on charge ready for when you need it. The hedge trimmer itself doesn’t require any accessories. (Image credit: Steve Bradley) Additional features This is very similar to models such as the Greenworks G24HT56 but not as bad as the Ryobi model, which has its battery at the far end of a long handle. I did think that it was a bit rear-heavy due to the placement of the battery, but not enough to be considered a problem. Not so light that it felt flimsy, but it certainly shouldn’t make your shoulders ache too much. I thought the machine was quite light to use. It would have been a nice touch to have that option here. Models, such as the Ryobi 18V ONE+ cordless 50cm hedge trimmer, offer a plastic guard mounted along the cutting bar which you can use to sweep as you work. One thing I did feel the trimmer missed was a guard to clear the the trimmings as you work.

Which you go for really depends on what you want to cut. Wider teeth, as you’d expect, let you cut wider material but they leave a rougher finish. Closer teeth give a neater finish, but limit how much material the trimmer can cut. It also ties the range together well.Ĭompared to its competitors, the teeth on the cutting bar are quite close together. It’s a nice touch and gives a ‘does what it says on the box’ feeling. I like Cobra’s graphic design on its packaging the grass trimmer has grass on it, the hedge trimmer has leaves on it, and so on.
