The Chelsea Flower Show may be over, but that doesn’t mean you have to give up on pruning your garden, in fact quite the opposite. 

Whether you are a green fingered fan, dabble in some weeding, or want to become a landscape gardener, there are a few essential tools you need in your gardening arsenal, including a hedge trimmer. 

Admittedly hedge trimmers can be cumbersome and heavy, but we think we have found the perfect alternative at Gtech – the Lightweight Hedge Trimmer LHT50. 

The LHT50 Lightweight Hedge Trimmer features a 315mm carbon steel blade, which enables you to cut through foliage with a thickness of 14mm, an aluminium shaft and reinforced handles for a sturdy design. 

The trimmer offers a 10-foot reach, and has a 140° rotating blade, which can be adjusted into seven different head positions, so you can reach shrubs from all angles and heights. 

After one single four-hour charge the trimmer is powered for one hour. But this 60-minute run time is sufficient to trim the entire garden with time left over, according to shoppers. 

The best part is this gardening tool promises to be lightweight – one third lighter than the original Gtech – and easy to use as it’s cordless, so you will not be restricted by any pesky wires. Just because this trimmer is cordless it doesn’t mean it compromises on power.

Gtech has paid extra attention to detail as the ergonomic handle makes it comfortable to hold, plus it features a safety harness for user protection, as well as an LED display so you can monitor the power to avoid being caught short.

To use all you have to do is slip the head into the main device until they click into place.  When you are ready to disassemble simply push the release button and detach the parts. 

Whether you have a dense bush that needs to be shaped, or a few stray branches are poking through, this multifunctional design will lend a helping hand.

The Lightweight Hedge Trimmer has garnered glowing reviews from customers, as many praise it as the ultimate multifunctional gardening tool.

One happy shopper, Paul, shared: ‘Fantastic light weight pole hedge trimmer. I needed a hedge trimmer to replace a very heavy pole trimmer that is light, yet could tackle a long holly hedge and a separate leylandii hedge as I was suffering with tennis elbow. This product is brilliant, very light but cut both hedges excellently. It also had a good charge life with still two lights showing after one hour of use. Highly recommend this product especially if your priority is lightness.’

A second customer, Janet, added: ‘This lightweight hedge trimmer is perfect for any age group, or those who have difficulty handling a heavier model.  No awkward cables to get in the way, or accidentally cut through! So it is much safer for that reason than one with an electric cable attached to mains electricity. Also as it extends, often no ladder is required. The battery charges easily, and gives you plenty of power to cut even a long hedge.’

While Jo weighed in: ‘Great hedge trimmer – light enough for a 5’2” senior lady to use, which was the problem with all the others I tried.’

If that wasn’t enough, Gtech is offering shoppers a discount on the Lightweight Hedge Trimmer. Enter the discount code NS69 at the checkout to save £70 and see the price drop from £219.99 down to £149.99.
