Hi guys in this video I'll be testing and reviewing the still HLA 85
cordless telescopic hedgetrimmer it's a demo machine from my local dealer Forest
Park and garden in South Wales and be honest I'm a bit skeptical about electric
stuff I've never really wanted to get involved with them but to be honest with
you have to get on the bandwagon at some time so I'm glad to have been given the
opportunity to give these a bit of a go in and test it out and review this hedgetrimmer
like butter effortless let's try it on the top edge now I fold it over and I get a bit
of a like a 50 pence piece corner I don't bother with a square edge on this
side
right reaching over there with a normal combi system I use my still combi I
couldn't reach our look the extension on so lets try it from by here I can extend
that straight out and take all that corner off over there
I don't usually use a long reach on the front of hedges like to use a small hand held one
but it was only one machine you go let's do the front
that's me go through a bigger chunky if you course if it's thick just go slow
earth away motor stays cool so this one will test it on stuff like this as well
as normal ages it's pointless I mean something could just can do thick stuff
as well but so far this is doing exactly the same as a the petal one would go fix
some of these are as cut through this you so much it'll take barking up the
floor but Gambas be a go watch your wire on the fan named catch a tough
I gave us a real good test last two days and the results are quite alarming
honestly quite disturbing for me well I first picked it up I thought it was a
plastic fantastic toy that's all I thought they were it's cordless I didn't
think I'd get AV work pretty similar to a petrol but after using this I just
been blown away that's all I can say I've just changed my mind so much
obviously the petrol is still my number one but these have really gone up in
there are your expectations of what well they can do so 20 inch blades
double-sided place card that one is well it's got a blue tip protector they quite
a strong one if you ever put it on anywhere near the blades
I'd say move the battery even with a lock off somebody could have a
malfunction inside the electric current bough blades when it's unfolded in the
working position we will stand up very secure one really wants the stand in
itself to stay up quite soon as you fold it into the transport position I'll show
you the changes in stand up like that but this is not really stable let me
tell you why they want to fall over long time so the best way to keep a indiv an
open it on the floor and stays on this side
the trouble is then from experience things to way faster when they on this
side like that all the Lighting's when I rolled off here
I certainly thing with timing nice thick to so one two when it's fully folded to
pull a card or anything it's just under 1 point 8 meter 6 foot just under 6
front so Eliza presence leave of a soupcon trigger net unless you're on
this loan day we also has a safety lock lay another feature like in transport if
you've got a battery in plastic bit to a it's all aluminium good to all the way
up looks a bit plasticky bigger but it's not i'm solomon IAM just hope it's not
too much going on with this jug this joint date the big robust this does feel
a bit cappuccino and ernest this Levi this pressure on on the end I don't like
letting it come out I'll so I find a bit different to the other types
the American is waterproof I wasn't in drizzle today trying it out so
everything seems okay it says it's waterproof but I can't see the bar to be
waterproof no way and there's no seal of own day that's a bit puzzling now 1 AP
300 which is the bigger battery out of a single until that portable batteries I'm
not a small charger the slow charge at all day so the news then mr. a yeah
101 I said I don't a fable to work with this or ID today I'm still on three bars
tremendous battery much to see at this side really just the battery older lady
it's where the battery goes got to good clicks to good clips on the side good
thick plastic look at that there's so new weakness to is the plastic fantastic
bit at the back I said all the raster layer up it's pretty much aluminium with
a nice rubber coating on there and I see only plastic fantastic bet I can't see
oh they can say last waterproof three downside with this against the petrol is
a lot of other conditions I mean you could finish the job off because there's
a gap down there so water would go down in there no problem
straight to your factory so let me say it's waterproof a bit weightier that one
I'm gonna soon a downside that's really negative we want to use in the rain no
way but okay so like I did today fine they're very light waterproof is a
sponge not just a sponge in there and they'll surely the water must be
straight behind there yeah so definitely after all the money you spend on one of
these most people wouldn't even chance a but when you stuck on a job trying to
finish it off suddenly a shower comes what you're gonna do it this is your new
edge to me Oh God the could I try out the way of the vein
you could have travel into the job go back specially then just to finish it
because the rain so I'll say it downside and the conclusion is I'm just like I
said quite a number of times in this video I'm just blown away I just can't
believe it it's just a pleasure to use I don't know what it is I know it's like
to the pet or one it must be done it's just you non fatigued just don't feel it
so much it's quieter I know I thought when I picked it up few days ago that
I'd be saying this at the end of the review but I just can't believe a it's
just totally changed your mind towards these I think this is the way I want it
was well known in the future and I'm a pet - let me say another could be
converted to electric ed it's very strange thing for me to be saying check
out forest park and garden comm for all the outdoor equipment needs I'll put the
link down below so what do I think of a absolutely brilliant what's all I can
say are you I can't find one fault today it's just been fantastic
it says just some everything like petrol one would have done well in the future
no comparison with this against your honor
Illyria I cut a lot of different variety in the last few days a lot of different
ages just to see if it can do just normal normal daily stuff you can do a
fine finish obviously akin to a fine finish we know that but I want to see if
we can do AVS stuff like you're some plan believes cut in some quite thickish
bunches of kept minions just chunk into them exactly like a petrol one would
know stall at all it was it just do anything with the petal on the dual so
really really impressed la Villette Mia Oliva there I'm also test test in the
day when still a telescopic pole pruner so keep a lookout for the next video
you'll see that a lot equipment in the pipeline I'm gonna be testing you in so
like a scroll nervous is still or anniversary echo or whoever whatever
planned and we got quite a few all I'm lined up so exciting times ahead and
Opie enjoyed this video actually go into detail as much as I can
be honest my opinion and like I said and I said blow me away stole my hat off
really do you think I subscribe function watching Cheers
