GTech’s latest offering, the new ultra lightweight HT05 Plus hedge trimmer is a fantastic piece of kit and all for under £100.
It’s comparable to the GTech HT20, but has a few differences. The HT05 version is lighter, allows you to reach higher hedges but doesn’t cut through as thick branches.

Is it Right for you?
This HT05 hedge trimmer is a fantastic buy for the price. For only £99 you get a long reach, cordless electric power tool that will deliver a great finish to your garden hedges and bushes.
If you’re after a trimmer that will take on larger branches (up to 15mm instead of 12mm), I’d recommend checking out the HT20 which is a more powerful hedge trimmer and you can buy the optional add on to cut branches, too.
Note: This is not suitable if you have very large and long hedgerows to cut through. It’s designed for small to medium sized gardens. Check out the specifications and have a think if it would be suitable for your needs.
Here’s the thing…
If you want to trim small to medium sized hedgerows, this is a perfect tool to use. It’s easy to store, reliable, cost effective and has no cords!
