Battery longhandled hedge trimmers and chainsaw
Hi
Im interested in getting a long handled hedge trimmer and chainsaw. Primarily to cut some tall conifers but also to allow me to trim some tall branches from a holly tree and some other trees that over hang from neighbours.
I have seen these which look good. I think the Husavarna might not be as good for chopping thicker branches? But keen for views from anyone who has these or similar!

https://www.gardenmachinerydirect.co.uk/cordless-tools/husqvarna-120itk4-h-pole-hedge-trimmer.html - this looked good as cheapish and can do chainsaw attachment

must admit struggling to work out if the longer pole of the Husqvarna is better than the shorter but seemingly bigger toothed stihl.

I can potentially live with having a separate long handled chainsaw if that is better too. Wired or battery.
Many thanks
