Product Information
Full details
The Flymo UltraCut 500 is a cordless hedge trimmer designed for users with medium to large gardens seeking freedom of movement. Its key benefit is the cord-free operation powered by a shared 18V Power4All battery, allowing trimming of up to 190m² on a single charge. A potential caveat is that it's sold as a bare unit, meaning the battery and charger are not included and must be purchased separately or already owned.
