The long-reach Ryobi RPT-400 not only facilitates the safe, ladder-free trimming of tall hedges, it also takes the back-ache out of tidying low bushes & borders. It’s fitted with a durable 400w electric motor that powers a pair of 40cm blades that are double-sided for increased productivity; & dual-reciprocating for a crisp, clean cut on growth up to 17mm in diameter. The cutter-head can be rotated through 135°, so you can achieve the most comfortable angle of approach. The robust yet super-lightweight fibreglass shaft on this model can be extended from 65 – 100cm, giving you a maximum shaft-length of 230cm – tackling very high hedges will no longer pose safety-risk. The Ryobi RPT-400 Articulating Pole Hedgecutter also features a Livetool Indicator™, which means that you can check your connection to the mains without attending directly to the power-source.
