Anyone heard of/used Greenworks tools?
As the title really ...:)
Looking for a long reach hedge trimmer - preferably cordless ....just for the tops of my hedges. (have a corded hedge trimmer for sides)
Never used petrol and not keen on the idea...
Have come across an American company...Greenworks.
They do battery operate tools - 40v batteries so should have some power...the batteries are steep (with charger £115 -£130).
They do 24v batteries and tools too - cheaper but would think they just wouldn't really be up to much...
The hedge trimmer is then another about £70 - but the batteries are interchangeable with other tools they do ...I have my eye on a chainsaw (at about £60) -but then might go for the long reach pruner (£90) to remove some of my trepidation about chainsaws (operating at a distance)
That would make both tools (sharing a battery - I don't intend to use them at the same time) coming in at £250 ish...:cool:
(Bosch 36v battery chainsaw is £330 on its own - £250 without the battery and they don't do a long reach hedge trimmer)
...but then again £250 if they are rubbish is a lot of money to waste
They only seem to be available from two sources in the UK - and price is pretty comparable, few reviews and one site only seem to have positive reviews about everything anyway...
So anyone used Greenworks tools - heard about them etc?
Anyone know of any other companies that do something similar? (High powered battery garden tools that are interchangeable?)
