This hedgetrimmer uses pneumatic drive so it is lightweight, quiet, safe, efficient and versatile as it can be connected to a pole of any length and shape. The head can swivel through 270 degrees. Form is simple, following function, detailing is inspired by car styling and turbo snail-shape, giving a feel of efficient power.
Automotive style vents exhaust decompressing air over cooling fins on blade-gearbox.
