10ft Long Reach

Easily trim tall hedges and overhanging branches without the need for a ladder. The HT50's extended pole reaches up to 10ft, giving you the range to tackle even the highest hedges safely from the ground, leaving a clean, even finish every time.

135° Adjustable Head

Cutting the top, sides, and base of a hedge with a fixed-head trimmer means constantly repositioning yourself. The HT50's rotating head adjusts through 135°, giving you full control to cut every angle cleanly and achieve a neat, professional finish with minimal effort.

25mm Cutting Width

The 21-inch hardened steel blade slices cleanly through branches up to 25mm thick, delivering a precise cut across a variety of hedge types and sizes.

The result is a smooth, clean finish every time, with none of the tearing or snagging you get from a less capable blade.

  • Lightweight Design

    Weighing just 6.5 lbs and accompanied by a shoulder strap harness, the HT50 is well balanced and easy to maneuver, so you can trim for longer without fatigue.

  • Safety Switch

    The easy-to-use safety switch prevents unexpected starts. Simply press the safety switch while holding the power trigger to operate.

  • Ergonomic Comfort

    The included shoulder harness distributes weight evenly, reducing strain and giving you full control during extended trimming sessions.

  • 60 Minutes Runtime

    The 18V lithium-ion battery delivers up to 60 minutes of continuous runtime, plenty of time to get the job done. Fully recharges in just 4 hours.

  • Cordless Freedom

    No cords, no gas, no fumes. The HT50 is fully cordless, so you can move freely around your garden without tripping over cables or dealing with messy fuel.

  • Compatible Battery

    The 18V lithium-ion battery is interchangeable with the Gtech GT50 Grass Trimmer, so you can swap between tools or double your runtime with a spare.

What is the longest hedge trimmer reach you can get?

The Gtech HT50 reaches up to 10 feet, among the longest hedge trimmer reach available in a cordless tool at this price. That length lets you trim tall hedges and overhanging branches from the ground without a ladder, and the 135 degree adjustable head keeps you in full control of the cutting angle even at full extension.

Can I trim tall hedges without a ladder?

Yes, and that is exactly what a long reach hedge trimmer is for. With 10 feet of reach and a 135 degree adjustable head, you cut the top and far side of a tall hedge while standing safely on the ground. Most hedge-trimming injuries come from working off a ladder with a powered blade, so keeping both feet down is the safer and far less stressful way to work.

How thick a branch can this long hedge cutter handle?

The 21-inch hardened steel blade slices cleanly through branches up to 1 inch thick, which covers the woody growth most hedges put out between trims. As a long hedge cutter it is built to power through thicker stems that a lighter trimmer would stall on, giving you a clean cut in one pass rather than chewing through the same branch repeatedly.

What is the best long reach hedge cutter for tall hedges?

The best long reach hedge cutter combines four things: enough reach to clear the hedge, a blade that cuts thick growth cleanly, runtime to finish in one go, and comfort that lets you keep working. The Gtech HT50 brings all four together with 10 feet of reach, a 21-inch hardened steel blade, up to 60 minutes of cordless runtime, and a shoulder strap harness, which is what makes it one of the best long reach hedge cutter options for homeowners maintaining tall hedges.

How long does the HT50 battery last?

Up to 60 minutes of trimming on a single charge, which is enough to work through most yards in one session without stopping. It is cordless and battery-powered, so there is no cord to trail behind you, no extension lead to manage, and nothing to accidentally cut. Full power, full reach, no wire.

What does the 135 degree adjustable head do?

It lets you cut the top, sides, and base of a hedge without constantly repositioning yourself. A fixed-head long pole hedge trimmer forces you to move around the hedge to reach every angle. The HT50's head rotates through 135 degrees, so you set the angle and cut cleanly along the top, down the face, or into the base for a neat, professional finish with far less effort.

Is a long arm hedge trimmer heavy to hold at full reach?

Holding a long arm hedge trimmer overhead is where fatigue sets in, so the HT50 comes with a shoulder strap harness that distributes the weight across your body rather than your arms. That balance lets you work longer and hold a steadier line at full reach, which is what gives you the clean, even cut along the top of a tall hedge.

Why choose a Gtech cordless hedge trimmer?

Gtech is award-winning British engineering with 25 years of cordless innovation behind it, founded by inventor Nick Grey. The HT50 puts genuine reach, power, and balance into a cordless tool at far better value than gas or premium alternatives, with no fuel, no fumes, and no cord. It is the British garden brand your neighbors have not discovered yet.

Reviews

The trimmer seems well built

"The trimmer seems well built but was disappointed with the the fact you can’t buy extra 59. 69 cm extensions as it’s reach isn’t long enough to do the job I had in mind."

Lawrence (4/5)

As advertised

"Light, good reach, excellent cutting ability."

Mark L. (5/5)

First of all pleased with

"First of all pleased with it,second not so pleased I asked a question about the start button as it doesn’t protrude as the old one therefore hurts the finger trying to press it,I got no reply to my question,i have the feeling that it should be easier but is not fully out,the reason?As shown with old one button more protruding"

Sharon G. (4/5)

Good Buy

"Only just put together and tried out on small forsythia tree about 11foot high. Runs smoothly but most importantly it is light. Great product for women, even oldre women who may not have the muscle power. Easy adjustable angle piece which does a nice job. The harness could do with improvement with another anchor hold along handle to allow weight to be taken on shoulders more especially for women."

Caroline L. (5/5)

Nearly Perfect

"The long reach hedge trimmer does not reach as far as I had hoped when trying to cut the top of a thick hawthorn hedge. However the improved blade cuts much better than previous model easily dealing with a lot thicker growth. The on/off switches (2) are much easier to manage than my older model where I had to cope with 3 switches."

John B. (4/5)

A great piece of kit.

"A Light well balanced machine. Easy to use and assemble. Well designed. Does all the jobs for which I had intended, easily and quickly. Results very good. Battery life is very satisfactory. A good looking stylish piece of equipment. Finish of all the components is excellent."

Thomas H. (5/5)

A little disappointed, I would

"A little disappointed, I would advise you read the small print carefully!. Cutting length up-to 10 ft is misleading, The length of pole and blade attachment measures a maximum 65. 5 inches (197cm). I’m 5ft 5inches and could only reach maximum height of 8ft 5. 5 inches (257cm), on my tip toes. You’d have to be a giant to reach cutting height of 10ft. On positive note, it is useful there are no cables, to get tangled in, the battery is compact, and the blades cut well."

Gillian R. (3/5)

Great piece of equipment.

"I must be honest. and say I was not expecting too much from such a lightweight piece of equipment. However I was delighted to see the results it produced after dealing with an extremely large and unruly hedge. The cutting power of the blades astonished me and the ease of use was far in excess of my expectations. My hedge is of mixed varieties and the trimmer dealt with it easily. I am more than happy to recommend and endorse this piece of equipment, well done GTech."

Martin M. (5/5)

Average

"The main advantage of this hedge trimmer and branch cutter is the light weight. The battery power is also quite good and both attachments cut very well. However attaching the trimmer or cutter require some effort at squeezing with thumb against the fingers of one hand while aligning and placing with the other hand. This is even more of a challenge when it comes to disassembling the equipment for storage. The poles are also not easy to pull apart as they appear rather stuck."

Robert O. (3/5)

HT50

"Brilliant piece of kit. Made mincemeat out of bushes 9’ high AND it looks cool hanging own my garage wall`"

Peter C. (5/5)

Q&A

Long Reach Hedge Trimmer — Cut Tall Hedges From the Ground

A long reach hedge trimmer extends your cutting range so you can trim tall hedges and overhanging branches without a ladder. The Gtech HT50 long reach hedge trimmer reaches up to 10 feet, putting the highest hedges within range while you stay safely on the ground. Cordless and battery-powered, it delivers up to 60 minutes of runtime, a 135 degree adjustable head, and a 21-inch hardened steel blade that cuts branches up to 1 inch thick. For homeowners who want to maintain tall hedges without climbing, the HT50 is the long reach hedge trimmer built for the job.

Long Hedge Trimmer — Extra Reach for Tall and Wide Hedges

A long hedge trimmer is designed for hedges that a standard handheld cannot reach. The added length of the pole lets you cut across the top of a tall hedge and into the far side of a wide one without stretching or repositioning a ladder. The HT50 long hedge trimmer combines a 10-foot reach with a lightweight, balanced design and a shoulder strap harness that spreads the weight across your body rather than your arms. The result is a long hedge trimmer you can use for a full session without the fatigue that makes pole tools a chore.

Longest Hedge Trimmer Reach — How Far the HT50 Extends

When people search for the longest hedge trimmer, what they want is maximum reach without sacrificing control or cut quality. The HT50 extends up to 10 feet, among the longest reach available in a cordless hedge trimmer at this price, and pairs that reach with a 135 degree adjustable head so you keep full control of the cutting angle even at full extension. Long enough to clear the tallest garden hedges, balanced enough to hold a clean line along the top, the HT50 delivers the reach that buyers looking for the longest hedge trimmer actually need.

Long Hedge Cutter — Powered Cutting for Thick Growth

A long hedge cutter needs more than reach. It needs a blade that powers through the woody growth tall hedges produce between trims. The HT50 long hedge cutter uses a 21-inch hardened steel blade that slices cleanly through branches up to 1 inch thick in a single pass, rather than stalling or chewing the way a lighter cutter does. Combined with up to 60 minutes of cordless runtime, it is a long hedge cutter built to finish the whole hedge, top to base, on one charge.

Long Reach Hedge Cutter vs Standard Hedge Cutter

A long reach hedge cutter and a standard hedge cutter solve different problems. A standard cutter is fine for low hedges you can reach while standing. A long reach hedge cutter like the HT50 is the tool you need the moment a hedge grows taller or wider than your arm span, or when overhanging branches force you onto a ladder. With 10 feet of reach and a rotating head, the HT50 long reach hedge cutter keeps both feet on the ground for the jobs a standard cutter cannot safely handle.

Long Reach Hedge Clippers — Reach and Control Combined

Long reach hedge clippers give you the range to shape tall and awkward hedges that handheld clippers cannot touch. The challenge with most long reach hedge clippers is control at full extension. The HT50 solves this with a 135 degree adjustable head and a balanced, harness-supported design, so you can angle the blade precisely along the top, face, and base of a hedge and hold a steady, even line. For a clean professional finish on tall hedges, the HT50 long reach hedge clippers give you reach without giving up control.

Long Arm Hedge Trimmer — Lightweight Pole Design

A long arm hedge trimmer, also called a pole hedge trimmer, places the cutting head at the end of an extended shaft so you can reach high and deep without a ladder. The weak point of many long arm hedge trimmers is weight: hold one overhead for long and your arms tire fast. The HT50 is engineered to stay manageable, with a balanced design and a shoulder strap harness that transfers the load off your arms. That makes it a long arm hedge trimmer you can actually use for the full job, not just a few minutes at a time.

Long Pole Hedge Trimmer — 135 Degree Adjustable Head

The advantage of a long pole hedge trimmer is the ability to cut every part of a hedge from one position. The HT50's pole extends to 10 feet and its head rotates through 135 degrees, so you cut the top, drop down the face, and angle into the base without moving the ladder you no longer need. For homeowners maintaining tall, established hedges, a long pole hedge trimmer with an adjustable head turns an all-day job into a single straightforward session.

Best Long Reach Hedge Cutter — What to Look For

The best long reach hedge cutter is not simply the one with the most reach. It is the one that combines reach with cut quality, runtime, and comfort. Reach gets you to the hedge; a hardened steel blade gives a clean cut through thick growth; 60 minutes of cordless runtime gets you through the whole job; and a harness keeps you working without fatigue. The Gtech HT50 brings all four together, which is what makes it one of the best long reach hedge cutter options available in the US for homeowners maintaining tall hedges.

Cordless vs Gas Long Reach Hedge Trimmer

A gas long reach hedge trimmer delivers power but brings weight, noise, fumes, pull-start hassle, and ongoing fuel and maintenance. A cordless long reach hedge trimmer like the HT50 delivers the cutting power to handle branches up to 1 inch thick with none of that overhead: no fuel, no fumes, no cord, and a quiet push-button start. With up to 60 minutes of runtime on a charge, the HT50 covers most yards in a single session, making the cordless option the more practical choice for the majority of homeowners over a gas equivalent.

The HT50 long reach hedge trimmer is that thinking applied to tall-hedge maintenance: genuine 10-foot reach, a 135 degree adjustable head, a 21-inch hardened steel blade, and a shoulder harness, all cordless and all at far better value than gas or premium alternatives.
