Gtech HT02 Rechargeable Telescopic Angle Adjustable Hedge Trimmer

The lightweight Gtech Power Blade telescopic angle-adjustable hedge trimmer is one of the most efficient, versatile, easy-to-use and cost effective trimmers we’ve ever tested. 

It is battery powered meaning there are no restrictions on where you can work or dangling mains-power leads to worry about.

The hedge trimmer extends to an impressive 4ft 10inches and is angle adjustable by 140degrees - in many cases allowing fast safe trimming around awkward angles without the use of a step ladder.   

A choice of four interchangeable cutting heads are also available: branch lopper, lawn shears, grass trimmer and path weed cleaner. It takes just 5 seconds to switch cutting heads and no tools are required. 

NEW!! Also available is an extra long blade attachment. At 315mm long, this is approx. 25% longer than the standard blade and is ideal for cutting through thicker or older branches which tend to be a lot more stubborn and tougher than new growth.

Need something a bit more powerful?
If you're looking for a more heavy-duty hedge trimmer to tackle bigger jobs then the Eckman Telescopic Hedge Trimmer could be just what you need.

Product Video
As you can see, we have uploaded a video to show you how this product works in more detail. However, please note, this is in fact a video of the earlier model, and whilst it functions in the same way as the HT02, there is a slight design difference between the two; the battery for the HT02 is carried on your belt, making it much lighter (3.7lbs / 1.7kg).

Q: Can I download instructions for this product?

Q: Can I call a helpline if I experience any problems with this item or need more information?
A: Yes, the Gtech helpline is 01905 345 891

Q: How long will the power last for on a full charge?
A: Typically 45 minutes under ‘normal’ use, but this depends on the type of work you’re doing: if you’re trimming average density hedge on totally dry conditions then it will run for 45 minutes. If you’re using the branch cutter head and using it for more heavy duty sawing of branches then a full charge may last a little less. Please note extra batteries cost just £19.95 – saving £5.

Q: How long does it take to charge the battery?
A: 15 hours from empty  

Q: Why does it weigh so little – just 3.7 pounds (llbs)?!
A: This is designed to be a user friendly lightweight hedge trimmer; the battery is carried on your belt (connected to the trimmer by a flexible chord) so you’re carrying the weight on your hip – not your arms.  The chord does not get in your way or restrict its use.

Q: How easy is it to change cutting heads?
A: It takes five-ten seconds maximum to change cutting heads. A simple one-handed press of the release button ‘releases’ the cutting head attachment from the main power unit, and the new cutting head just slots and locks in.  This is ideal for easy cleaning of the cutter head and for quick transfer between jobs.

Q: What are the differences between the standard and extra long blades?
A: The standard blade measures 240mm in length, has a 12mm cutting width and weighs 416g. The extra long blade measures 315mm in length, has a 15mm cutting width (meaning it's ideal for cutting through thicker or older branches) and weighs 536g. Both rotate at 1100RPM.

It works better than I thought it would and the charge is longer than any other i have used. The on off switch is irritating and cramps your hand after a while. But overall for a lightweight hedge trimmer that is very flexible its great and worth the money.

Good value, switches can be a bit sensitive in reacting when starting. Would have prefered the longer blade if known about when ordering. Blade angles very good.

Light and easy to manage. I was able to cut my mixed deciduous hedge in a fraction of the time it took last year. Very easy to fit the branch lopper attachment to the Gtech Telescopic Hedge Trimmer and extremely easy to use.

Have seen the same item @ £40 more. Does a good job of trimming the hedge though obviously not as powerful as a petrol driven or mains powered one. Light and easy to handle [I'm a pensioner]. It's a lot cheaper than having to pay someone to do the job for me.
