Does anyone know if the Wickes Electric Hedge trimmer is OK or just
cheap crap? http://www.wickes.co.uk/invt/217663

We need a trimmer to do some smallish beech hedges and the occasional
conifer. Don't want to spend much since they won't get a lot of use.

Hedge trimmers, however good, are only designed to work with thin
branches, think a years growth. Anything thicker needs a light chainsaw.

I couldn't get the Wickes one but instead bought a Bosch AHS 45-16. It
does struggle with the thicker stems (10mm) but seems OK otherwise.
I've got some reasonable loppers to cope with the thicker stuff.
