Once your hedge is cut just simply dispose of the garden waste and use a leaf blower to dispose of any remaining leaves.

Our 18 Volt family can save you money. Simply use the same 18 Volt battery with your hedge trimmer, leaf blower and UniversalHedgeCut 18 as well as many more garden and tools. Meaning you can simply buy bare tools (tools without a battery) as you will just require the one battery for your entire system.
