Product Information

Worx garden products have really impressed this writer and not just because every product I’ve tested of theirs performs the task it was made for, but also because I’m fond of the company’s product designs. Granted, branding and looks shouldn’t play a part in choosing garden gear, but every time I see a WORX product I just want to get my hands on it (witness the company’s LeafJet blower or Landroid M500 robot mower). In the pantheon of garden products, their stuff screams ‘buy me’. If you have a garden with smaller hedges that don’t need too much maintenance, it’s hard to see past the Bosch AHS 45-16. It’s extremely affordable, does the job well, and you won’t feel too tired after using it because of its lightweight and ergonomic design. In today’s review, I’ll go through the most important features of the Bosch AHS 45-16 and how they can benefit you and your hedges. Let’s take a look! What I’ll Cover…

This extendable cordless hedge edger lets you trim without the need for a ladder; it has a reach of around 10 feet. For a cordless model, the Gtech HT 50 is light-ish at 2.94kgs and pretty well designed. It couldn’t be simpler to assemble as it’s comprised of just four parts: a blade housing, a control handle, a 90cm aluminium extension arm and a small, lightweight 18v Lithium-Ion battery. It's extremely frustrating: as I said, a superb tool, rather expensive, and buggered because of (probably) a tiny electrical fault. It is almost as though Bosch build in this wastage: I had exactly the same thing happen to me on my previous trimmer, which was exactly the same model, and was also 3 years old at the time. The remedy then was to buy _this_ one :-( And be careful where you use solder, as solder is not to be used in every location in an appliance. Solder is not good at mechanical loads (it's not glue), and it melts if the electricals it's applied to get hot enough. It also makes stranded copper wire too stiff and encourages wire breaks where it is used. If, for example, wire near it flexes and bends a lot. Constructed with durability in mind, the Bosch AHS 45-16 is designed to withstand the demands of regular hedge trimming. Its high-quality materials provide long-lasting performance, making it a reliable tool in any gardening arsenal.

Bosch Universal HedgeCut 60 Electric Hedge Trimmer

Bosch’s entry level hedge trimmers include the Bosch Electric Hedge Trimmer (AHS 45-16) a well balanced tool with ergonomic handles that provide a more comfortable work position. The ergonomic design of this hedge trimmer enhances user comfort and control during operation. The well-balanced weight distribution allows for effortless maneuverability, reducing strain and fatigue on the arms and hands. People mostly seem to be impressed by how easy it is to use, allowing them to finally get on top of trimming their hedges before they get out of control. It's looking impossible, so far, without dismantling every single component of it. And in any case I'm now stymied by a circlip which is holding the cutter assembly in place. There are times that I'd say to myself "wouldn't a dab of solder look good there", but then I go through the rules list and "nope" is the answer. I have to use something that crimps, and try to use the right crimping tool as well.

Or choose from a range of Bosch Mid-Priced Hedge Trimmers, such as Bosch Universal HedgeCut 60 Electric Hedge Trimmer, or the cordless AHS 55-20 LI.My lamp in the bedroom has that knot, because I made the lamp in shop class :-) That's where we were taught to use the knot. The AHS 45-16 is one of the best hedge trimmers manufactured by Bosch. They’ve managed to design an extremely lightweight and easy to operate machine without sacrificing any power. I've got some other item here, that has a knot inside and a post it goes around. It was put there to secure something inside from moving. The 3.6V Lithium Ion battery runs for 40 minutes between charges (recharging takes about 3.5 hours), there’s a choice of an 8cm grass blade and 12cm shrub blade, and the tool-free blade switching couldn’t be simpler. I have an AHS 55-26 trimmer -- a superb machine. However it stopped working the other day - dead as a dodo (and no traumas such as being dropped). I've had it 3 years; it gets pretty heavy use.
