"I have a pair of the Stihl ones and they are excellent you can cut quite thick stuff with ease and it definitely takes the stress out of your hands,the battery life is good as well, just one word of caution and this was down to my stupidity while I…"

"Currently thinking of getting some myself. The Kebtec ones are well reviewed by various gardeners on YouTube, but then so many of them get sent stuff for free it's hard to believe everything they say. I heard the Stiga ones were pretty good too.…"
