I've only used the dedicated hedgetrimmer (not attachment) ones @Former-Member
So I don't know about those attachments.

We have a buddleia which is now growing into the gutter @Shaz51 , I think it may have been a mini chain saw on a pole that the gardener had.
Are they easy enough to use and maintain?
I don't fancy using any implement on a ladder.

I was looking at pole chainsaws also @Shaz51 @Former-Member but probably only used for 1 main job so decided I would just use a ladder. Already have a collection of underused chainsaws in the shed lol.

We have a hedge at front of our house @Shaz51 that I have been procrastinating on as I dont want to make a mess of it. Decided today I would use a string line so have been out to Bunnings this afternoon to get a string line and level. See how I go tomorrow or early next week 😬

I have a battery hedge trimmer @Determined and when I did the hedge, it was very wavey , mr shaz thought it was funny
the next day , he made it straight @Former-Member, because he could not stand seeing what it looked like

Think I might just get the gardener in ... just don't want to offend Mr Darcy.
Getting hedge straight would probably not be one of my skills either @Shaz51 ... hope it goes well @Determined.
