Bosch AHS 48cm Lithium Ion Cordless Hedgecutter

This item is far better than I expected of a cordless hedgetrimmer. It is light and quite powerful, and I have used it frequently as it is so much easier to use than getting out cables for my electric one. There are a couple of minor drawbacks.
1. I find the battery difficult to remove, because it involves pressing the release catch in the opposite direction to the battery removal direction.
2. Operation of the trimmer involves squeezing two levers/catches together which, although not difficult, does seem to be at an awkward angle, and my hand and arm muscles ache after a relatively short time. This operation seems common to most hedge trimmers, but my elecric 'Little Wonder' trimmer is much easier as it requires only fingertip pressure on a button, once started.

I suspect that these two problems are because the hedgetrimmer was designed by a man, for men (who go to the gym), and I am a female with weaker muscles! Having said this I still love the hedge trimmer and am glad I bought it - I would certainly buy the same one again, and would recommend it.
