Guest's review of Tanaka THT-210 Hedge Trimmer

“Reliable, easy to use mid pro tool”

★★★★☆

written by on 28/08/2013

This tool was purchased as my first hedgetrimmer when beginning a gardening business in 2007. It has performed very well on most hedging tasks for domestic gardens and probably a bit surpassed in the ability to cut old dead hedge wood such as is often seen in public space landscapes. Can 'chainsaw' or eat through quite thick green branches thicker than technically specified. I like the simple blade adjustment system (nylok nuts) but some care is still needed to no overtighten the blades so that they jam; easier that the Stihl type shim setup. I have used the Stihl long blade hedgers too and they are a bit stronger and probably essential for city council type work but not needed for a lot of lighter work. Also the Tanaka THT-210s (now a new model by Hitachi who bought the brand) is lighter, easier to start and a lot cheaper. Have never sharpened the blades but they self sharpen so long as the clearances are set nicely. Have replaced some nuts and bolts, have replaces starter cord have always kept a well greased gearbox and did clean the gearbox once (easy). The handle lockout plastic piece broke about a year ago and is cheaply replaced but i didnt bother, not really necessary and different of the newer model which uses two buttons instead and the handle pivot is a bit sloppy now and could replace this too fairly cheaply but not going to bother. I would definitely recommend this product and am currently buying a Tanaka THT-2520SB with the longer blade. Enjoy
