Not up to the job

We purchased this item last week direct from gtech based on the weight and it being cordless. On a privet hedge that was just sparsely grown it was fine but to trim a conifer hedge the cutter was useless and we had to "down tools" halfway. The battery was fully charged. Also the handle did not increase as much as we hoped. I have arranged for it to be returned and have to pay £10.00 for the privilege. I wouldn't recommend this product.
