The small, handy cordless hedge trimmer GC-CH 18/40 Li - Solo from Einhella is a powerful member of the Power X-Change family and a valuable helper in the garden. At only 2 kg, it is the lightest of the hedge trimmers and is therefore also suitable for longer work. The blades made of laser-cut and diamond-ground steel are precise and durable, with a cutting length of 40 cm at up to 2400 cuts per minute. With the compact hedge trimmer, you can trim bushes, hedges and shrubs beautifully, completely cordless. The cordless hedge trimmer can be optimally operated with the large front handle, while the large hand guard protects against injuries. The robust metal gear ensures a long service life. The aluminum blade cover protects the blades, and the robust sleeve protects them during storage and safe transport. The scope of delivery includes an impact protection with a wall mounting bracket, but without batteries and without charger. To operate the GC-CH 18/40 Li cordless hedge trimmer, a separate 18-volt battery from the Power X-Change series is required, which is also used in other Einhell tools and garden equipment.

Specifications

Same summary

The Einhell GC-CH 18/40 cordless hedge trimmer is particularly suitable for regular maintenance and shaping of small to medium-sized hedges and bushes around the house or garden. Thanks to the 30-40 cm long blade and 18 V voltage, users who already have a compatible Einhell battery system will enjoy practical and flexible use without the restriction of cables. The tool is not suitable for trimming particularly dense or very thick branches, especially if you do not yet have the right battery or need a particularly long continuous working time. The model does not include a battery and charger, so it is a better choice for those who already have or plan to use other devices from the same brand ecosystem.
