FAQs
What is the maximum branch thickness this hedge cutter can handle?
The Bosch EasyHedgeCut 18-45 has a tooth spacing of 15mm, making it best suited for light trimming and branches up to this thickness. For thicker branches, a tool with larger tooth spacing and more power would be necessary.
How long does the battery typically last?

Is this hedge cutter suitable for professional use?
