Bosch Cordless Grass Shear & Hedge Trimmer - AdvancedShear 18V-10 (18 Volt System, cuts up to 85 m² per Battery Charge, with Shrub and Grass Shear Blades, Without Battery)

Great trimmer for small shrubs and climbing plants. Makes quick work of tidying up the garden. The blades are easy to switch and the battery is quick to charge and lasts a long time between charging. It is quite heavy for one handed use, especially ,if you’re holding it above your head, but manageable. It’s much better than I expected.

So I received my order today and have been really impressed with this device! I had whittled my choice down to three Bosch models on Amazon. The EU one, the newer UK one and this one. Yes this one costs more (on sale atm!) but what I like is it has a separate battery, so I can always get a replacement if this one dies. Where the other two cheaper models have an integrated battery... I used this in the garden today and was very impressed with it! It's never going to be a heavy duty item but for shrubs and hedges it worked a treat and the grass trimmer worked wonderfully surprisingly lightweight too. If like me you are useless with a strimmer and I really am, this is the answer! Not too noisy either. I fully charged the battery up in under an hour and having been out most of the afternoon with it, it had gone from three lights (fully charged) to two and still plenty of charge and no cable in the way! I like the fact the handle is on the top where as with the cheaper models you have to hold it at the end. In my honest opinion, if you're trying to make your mind up, go for this model if your budget allows! A really useful peace of kit. 100% recommend. 👍 NB: Btw buy the one with the battery and charger if you haven't already got any Bosch Power tools, it's only £10 odd more and totally worth it! Otherwise, you're looking at paying another £34 approx on top for a separate battery and charger.

Bought this to trim a small laurel hedge, about 10 metres long. It does the job, top and both sides, with no effort even cutting through some of the thicker branches. Still plenty of charge left at the end. The grass edging trimmer is a real bonus and works a treat. Cuts the edges around the garden beds in minutes. No trailing cables to worry about and charges in no time ready for the next use.

Great little tool. Versatile and easy to handle. Trims my honey suckle with ease as long as I don’t cut into the hard wood. Cuts and shapes softer growth nicely.

This is an excellent little garden tool, light, well balanced and with plenty of power from the interchangeable 18 volt battery (which also powers my Bosch drill.) It's perfect for trimming garden shrubs, bushes etc. So much lighter easier than using a hedge cutter, and easier to get the shape right. Obviously you're not going to use something of this size for lopping tree branches, but what it does it does very well indeed. The on-off trigger is a bit fussy, and takes a little getting used to. When you release it you only have less than two seconds to start it again before the safety cutout applies. You then have to press both the red lock-of button and the trigger to restart it. It soon becomes natural, but can be irritating. Safety: BE VERY CAREFUL TO KEEP OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN. It looks and attracts like a toy, but it isn't one. The small red lock-off button is placed directly above the trigger and even tiny hands would have no difficulty in pressing both together. With children around and the battery inserted, don't leave it unattended even for a moment. (I still remember a school accident where a child's finger was cut off playing with an unattended paper cutting guillotine. Believe me, accidents like this happen.)

Great piece of kit but the sheers blunt so quickly. I’ve just got into gardening in the last few years and love my lawn. After a good mow, what really takes things to the next level is to trim the edges for a polished look. I’ve tried strimmers which are costly or difficult or expensive to refill. So this was everything I wanted. I cut my lawn and trimmed with this about every two weeks on average and it was blunt within the calendar year. I’ve seen guidance online to take it apart but it looks complicated and I don’t want to pay £20 for new blades. I’m slightly disappointed tbh. Great while it’s sharp, but after that; it’s too costly to keep. I’m now gonna go old school and get some hand sheers for the edge of my lawn. LOL a friend once commented how his brother was “cutting the lawn with blooming’ scissors!” I think they were probably decent lawn sheers tbh. We all learn and move on. Happy gardening!

...because it's light, easy to use, and does a great job quickly. Build quality is good and the grass trimmer dealt with tough grass edges with no problem. Looking forward to using the short hedge trimmer too.

It got rusted very quickly

Ik heb gekozen voor de grasschaar met de losse accu omdat ik van Bosch al meerdere apparaten heb met de losse accu. Maar wat een waardeloos ding zeg. Meteen geprobeerd en wat een tegenvaller. Hij kwam voor geen meter door wat hoger gras heen en dat toch wel met een volle accu. Na 5 minuten proberen was ik er klaar mee. Meteen terug met dat ding.

Bonne réception,rapide et efficace ! Sans problèmes pour une prochaine fois !

Cet outils en comporte en fait deux : une lame courte qui peut et servir pour gérer la vigne vierge sur les murs ( en hauteur ou découpage tours des fenêtres ) très pratique , couper de l’herbe et aussi réussir rapidement à nettoyer les bordures . Et d’autre part un taille haie qui sert tout autant à tailler les charmes les haies de millepertuis ou plus souples les buis et comme il est à la fois puissant et léger , la facilité pour les mouvements est vraiment améliorée comparativement aux autres outils , pas de fils , pas de charge lourde et il faut signaler que les batteries se rechargent très rapidement et durent longtemps donc une vraie aisance pour travailler même dans des très grands jardins ce qui est mon cas . Je regrette de ne pas avoir découvert cet outils plus tôt car il a changé ma façon d’envisager le jardin et à vraiment beaucoup simplifié ce qui au par avant était une corvée et que je reportais au lendemain sans cesse. Vraiment je le recommande

Modele ASB 10,8 LI, Set 3 lames. Ce modèle comporte bien 3 lames : - 1- lame pour couper l'herbe ( entre les pieds de fleurs, ou le long des massifs par exemple ). Coupe très bien. L'ensemble est très léger et très maniable. Si on bute dans un obstacle, il y a une sécurité, et on ne casse rien, et on n'abime pas la lame. - 2 - petite lame taille haie : c'est la fonction "sculpteur de haie". On peut donner une forme particulière et détaillée à un buis par exemple. L'ensemble reste léger et maniable. Les lames coupent très bien ( ce n'est pas un taille haie prévu pour couper des grosses branches sur des dizaines de mètres ). - 3 grande lame taille haie : Cela se rapproche des dimensions d'un véritable taille haie. Celà permet de couper bien à plat, et bien droit. On peut ainsi soit couper une haie ( de longueur modérée pour des petits jardins ) soit "rafraichir" une coupe que l'on aura faite précédemment sans ressortir la grosse artillerie. Avec la grande lame, le poids est nécessairement un peu plus important, et on se fatigue donc plus vite, mais celà reste très maniable. - Autonomie : L'appareil marche sur batterie, et il faut le recharger de temps en temps. Celà fait plusieurs fois que je l'utilise, et je ne suis jamais tombé à court de batterie. L’utilisateur sera fatigué avant que la batterie soit vide. - Petit point négatif : comme tout appareil coupant, il y a une sécurité : il faut pousser un petit bouton avec le pouce et le maintenir , avant de pouvoir appuyer sur la gâchette de mise en marche. Ce bouton est un peu trop petit ou trop dur, et on se crispe et fatigue plus vite à tenir ce bouton, plutôt qu'à travailler. Libre à chacun de trouver une astuce pour bloquer ce bouton et ne plus se fatiguer. - Les lames sont faciles à changer. L'ensemble est livré dans un coffret en plastique solide. Je suis vraiment très content. Cet appareil est multifonctions, et il marche vraiment très très bien.

This was a very bad experience for us. We were unable to use this item as it was impossible to find a battery and charger that would work with it. After 3 calls to Bosch for help, it was recommended we return the item as we would have to search out of the USA to possibly find a battery. It appears we have only been reimbursed for 50 % although the item had never been used and was returned as received. Worst Amazon purchase ever!
