Jodi commented a couple of different times about going to the hardware store and getting an electric hedge clipper. A few years ago she had trimmed the little hedges in front of the fence in the front yard with a hand clipper. The job got done, but she said it was a lot of work and gave her a back ache.
When Dan was over using his chainsaw to cut down a couple of trees he also had a looper that the handles extended on. Jodi commented on handy that looked and it really did especially when she is trying to cut branches over the fence.
Since it is my fence and my hedges and my trees I decided to head over to Home Depot and see what was up. I had already been to Walmart and they are clearing all the yard stuff out. So there were no loopers or fiskars that I wanted. They did have a hedge trimmer with no price.
Home Depot had the extending looper and the fiskars and lots of hedge trimmers. Now I don't know anything. This is beyond my skill set. I looked at the battery operated ones. They are a bit more spendy and the one they had that interested me didn't come with a charger. Those are an additional $70. No thanks. I understand separating the two things for consumers who already have one component and only need one component.
Then I checked out the electric ones. A bit of a range. I did not get the cheap one as it felt cheap holding it. If it felt cheap to me it must really be cheap. I ended up with a black and decker. Not the best brand, but one that has been around a long time. $50. Even if it only works one season I think the price is adequate.
Dropped them off for Jodi, except for my fiskars. She and JJ were both sleeping. I'll have to check in with them tomorrow.
