BLACK+DECKER PH5551-QS 550 W 510 mm Corded Telescopic Pole Hedge Trimmer

The BLACK+DECKER PH5551-QS 550 W 510 mm Corded Telescopic Pole Hedge Trimmer is designed for routine maintenance of tall, wide, and hard-to-reach hedges. Its 510 mm cutting length is paired with 22 mm tooth spacing and a maximum cutting thickness of 22 mm. This capacity suits shaping established hedge growth within the stated branch limit. Mains power provides continuous operation without battery charging, although access to an electrical supply is required.

The 550 W motor drives the blade at up to 1,600 strokes per minute. A double-action cutting system supports steady trimming across larger hedge surfaces. The blade is made from diamond-ground steel, providing a defined cutting edge for routine garden work. At approximately 4.1 kg, the trimmer's weight is worth considering when planning longer sessions or overhead use.

A telescopic glass-fibre pole extends access to elevated sections without relying on a ladder. The adjustable cutting head has five positions for approaching hedge tops, sides, and angled areas. An ergonomic handle with a soft grip provides a controlled holding surface during extended trimming. The pole format is particularly relevant for fence-line hedges and established planting where a conventional handheld trimmer may lack reach.

• Overall tool length of 2,300 mm supports work on elevated hedge sections.
• Laser-cut blade construction provides accurately formed cutting teeth.
• Integrated safety brake helps stop the cutting mechanism when operation ends.
• Low-vibration system is included to reduce transmitted movement during use.
• Easy-storage design simplifies placing the pole trimmer away between jobs.
