Bosch Cordless Edging Shear Set Isio (3.6 V, blade length 12 cm, tooth spacing 8 mm, in carton packaging)

Superb hedge & grass trimming tool.Blades super sharp, fast cutting.Ok on hedge trimming for small areas.I have some by my front door below the window 3ft deep by about 6ft wide.It copes but anything more would be irksome having to do that regularly.The tough branch feature is worth its weight though, it just keeps on hacking away until it cuts through, without jamming or damaging itself.The grass trimmer is perfect for me.Edging is easy. There is an optional long handle you can also buy that reaches the lawn without having to bend down, or up to the top of a fence or tree.I had been using a strimmer to edge my 50ft lawn but this was damaging the grass and my timber raised beds.This trimmer does the job almost as quick, but without damage, and gives a far neater appearance.I had tried a cheaper brand, which is still working, but chews the grass instead of cutting it, after a short period of use.I may use that one now as a cordless 'rotavator' to break up compacted soil on my embanked flowerbed.45minutes charging is no problem for me - the time I take to mow the lawn and tidy up, the tool has recharged.I like that it has a lithium ion battery, meaning I do not have to fully charge or discharge the battery every time I use it.I insist all of my chordless tools have this now, having had to replace power tools where the ni cad battery had 'memorised' and become useless.The safety switch can be operated either left or right handed, if you have a Bosch drill it is right where you'd expect to find the forward/reverse switch, under your thumb.The case is quite handsome too.Made from a thin neoprene type material, but a fairly rigid moulding, covered in a satinised black fabric with zip closing along three sides.Large enough to accommodate the tool both attachments and battery charger, with room to spare.The battery is built in to the handle, non removable. Being lithium ion it is going to last as long as the tool, so no need to be replacable. Service charge is indicated by leds on the handle but thus far I have not discharged the battery enough to come off its highest state of charge, because it does what I need from it so quickly.Tbh I saw more powerful tools than this one before I bought it. It is easily powerful enough.I am completely satisfied with my purchase.

I bought this to trim some bushes and a little hedge.I have not tried the grass edging connector yet, will update review then.For the hedge trimming connector I gave 4 stars, taking one star off for;*The weight distribution is off,the connected head is very very light, whereas the battery is the main part, which you hold and it is quite heavy, which leads to it being badly balanced and makes it difficult to use.* The power from the motor to the connected head is quite weak, and with something as light as lavender bushes it struggles, often suddenly stopping, leading to a jerking of the unit, which combined with the poor balance makes it , in my opinion, a bit dangerous, as nearly dropped it a few times due to it nearly jerking out of my hand.I think I am disappointed because Bosch is a good brand and expected a better level of performance and design.Positives;* It is compact and easy to store as it comes with its own case to store everything in.* It was quick to charge from the box, and has a clear indicator light that pulses red whilst charging and goes green when charged.* The heads are easy to attach, they clip onto the main body easily and come off easily for cleaning and storage.* Some may not see the following as a positive, but I do, especially given the poor torque of the motor...the hedge trimmer blades are inside a metal casing, the picture you see is of that fixed metal casing, the blades gold inside and cut between the lattice of the casing, meaning they are not exposed Düring storage.The downside of this is twofold...1. They are impossible to get to to clean thoroughly or to sharpen them. I am not sure it is possible to remove the casing.2. It limits the size of what you can cut,bto being something that fits with at least a 3 mm gap between the casings lattice, I would guess at nothing over 4 mm diameter can be cut... having said that I personally don't think the motor could cope with cutting anything thicker so it was probably mainly designed that way to stop people burning out the motor or snapping the fine blades inside the casing ( they act like scissors in the gap between the casing lattice when on, snap back into the casing when off).The overall performance is less than hoped for, I used to have a proper hedge trimmer, which was double handed and cut through hedges and shrubs like butter, so I may have been spoiled.I would say if you only have some light trimming to do, this will probably suit you. From a single charge I worked my way through 2 little hedges and 6 bushes and it was still charged when I tired it away so believe the battery life to be good.Note:The battery does not seem to be removable, so when it goes I assume you will have to buy a whole new set, although I could be wrong, I just cannot see how to get it out. If I do find out it can be replaced, I will update with indication of how and how much.
