hedge trimmer
Topiary artist's tool
A hedge trimmer is a power tool for cutting and shaping hedges and shrubs.
It has a long blade with reciprocating teeth that slice through branches, making it far faster than manual hedge shears.
Most are electric or battery-powered, though gas models exist for heavy-duty work: I need to run the hedge trimmer along the back fence.
