Hedge Cutter vs. Weed Eater: Which Tool When?
A weed eater (a.k.a. weed wacker or electric weed eater) excels at grass and weed edging along driveways and fences. A hedge cutter is purpose-built for woody stems and shrubs, delivering straight lines on hedge faces and tops. Many homeowners keep both: a cordless shrub trimmer for shaping and a string-style edger for ground-level finish work.
How to Choose the Right Trimmer
- Yard size & density: Small beds → compact 16"; larger/wider hedges → 20" reach and higher voltage.
- Branch thickness: For stems up to 0.8", choose a dual-action blade with generous tooth spacing.
- Weight & handling: Under ~6 lb helps reduce fatigue during above-shoulder cuts.
- Battery strategy: One pack for light weekly work; a second pack for continuous jobs and big properties.
- Safety & storage: Dual-switch, guards, and a sheath protect both user and blades between seasons.
Pro Tips for Cleaner Results
- Trim new growth in short passes; let the blade do the work to avoid tearing.
- Keep blades clean and lightly oiled; inspect tooth gaps to maintain smooth cutting.
- For tall hedges, work from bottom up, then level the top with a steady, shallow sweep.
- Finish borders with a battery powered weed eater for a crisp edge where shrubs meet turf.
