One of the main considerations when looking for a new hedge trimmers in the size and quality of the hedge trimmer blades on a particular unit. There are three basic styles of hedge trimmers, cordless, corded electric and gas-powered but the choice of hedge trimmer blades is much larger. Typically, they will range in size from 16 to 24-inches, but can be as small as six-inches or as large as 30 inches. The length of the blade will be determined by the size of the edge needed to be trimmed.

When looking at a new hedge trimmer, the gap between the teeth of hedge trimmer blades will also determine the size of the branches it can cut through. For safety considerations, the usual blade will have a gap not exceeding three-quarters of an inch. This size reduces the potential for trimming off a finger, but also limits the size of the branches that the trimmer can cut. Units that have hedge trimmer blades with larger gaps, typically used in commercial applications, can handle larger branches and may also be used for small pruning jobs.

Along with the convenience of gas powered hedge trimmers comes the precautions of needed for their safe operation. Trimmers powered by electric motors have certain safety concerns such as using them in wet surroundings and insuring the extension cords are kept clear of the cutting blades. On the other hand, gas powered hedge trimmers also require some different safety considerations as for the most part they will not simply shut down if something gets jammed in the blades.

With most electric trimmers, if a branch is too big or some other hard object, such as the operator's finger gets stuck in the blade a safety switch will automatically cut power, turning the machine off. With gas powered hedge trimmers, there is no such safety device and the blades will continue to do their job until the operator hits the off switch. For some users, the only advantage to using gas powered hedge trimmers is being able to run them without being tied to a nearby electrical outlet, but cordless units have put an end to that argument.
