Now for the details…
Two of GTech’s latest cordless power tools are the GTech HT20 and the GTech HT05 plus hedge trimmers.
Why two different hedge trimmers…? Good question.
At first glance they might seem very comparable, and you’d be right…
However, there are a few key differences between the pair and this will most definitely influence your decision over which one to buy.
GTech HT20 vs GTech HT05 Plus
Without beating around the bush (pun intended…), the HT20 is heavier, shorter and more expensive than the HT05.
So why would you consider buying the HT20…?
Well, the HT20 is more powerful, sturdier, can cut through thicker stems and has an optional branch cutter attachment that you can switch to for branch cutting duties.
By comparison…
The HT05 is lighter and comes equipped with a telescopic shaft so that you can extend it up to 1.7m in length. It’s not as powerful, but lasts the same time as the HT20 from a shorter charge time.
Here’s what you need to know…
Buy the HT20 Hedge Trimmer if…
You want to cut thicker bushes and hedges and therefore need a little more power with the potential for branch cutting (up to 40mm branches if you buy the optional branch cutter extension).
And if you don’t have very high hedgerows or don’t mind jumping up a ladder to trim them.
Buy the HT05 Plus Hedge Trimmer if…
You are elderly or weaker and want the lightest hedge trimmer possible but still need a long reach tool so you don’t have to get up any ladders.
It only cuts up to 12mm thick stems, whereas the HT20 cuts up to 15mm.
The Bottom Line…
The HT05 Plus is longer, lighter and more easily adjustable than the HT20 but with less power and no branch cutter option.
