petrol has had its day
The new Helion Alpha professional hedge-trimmer is well balanced with an optimal centre of gravity. With its on-board 260 battery, it is always ready to use for up to 4 hours of work. This efficient tool ensures a very impressive performance and can make cuts of up to 33 mm in diameter. And its virtual silence in operation will easily win over those few remaining users of petrol-fuelled tools.
“This is a well-balanced tool with identical or higher cutting power and speed than traditional petrol tools. Ergonomic design is another of this tool’s many advantages. It is very easy to handle and very precise, even at arm’s length. There is no exhaust, no petrol fumes and no risk of burns. I was also surprised by the long battery life. We tend to think that battery-powered tools don’t last long, but in reality they endure better than petrol-fuelled ones. I was not at all sure that battery-power was right for me, but I found what I was looking for in these tools.”
