Cutting hedge tool – Bosch Cordless Hedgecutter AHS 55-20 LI

This innovative hedgecutter controls energy according to demand, thanks to ‘quick cut’ technology which enables the cutting blade to stay open for longer, ensuring the perfect cut in one clean sweep. Its anti-blocking system means the hedgecutter stays in the same position until the branch has been completely cut through, so you get quick, uninterrupted cutting time. Plus, the Bosch LI batteries can be swapped between the same voltage products across the range – so you can simply swap the battery to a different product.

The triple-insulated stainless steel comes with easy-grip flat sides and a non-slip bottom and will keep drinks cool for up to 25 hours and hot beverages warm for up to 12.
