Echo HC-2020R 21.2cc Petrol Hedge Trimmer
The HC-2020R sits at the practical end of Echo's hedge trimmer range — a 21.2cc professional-grade machine that's light enough for homeowners but specified well enough for regular professional use. At 4.6kg it's genuinely easy to manoeuvre, and the five-position rotating handle means you can work comfortably at awkward angles without having to contort yourself around the hedge.
The laser-cut double-edged Japanese steel blades are the quality detail that sets it apart from budget alternatives. Double-edged blades cut on both the forward and return stroke, making the work faster and more efficient, and the laser-cut finish holds its sharpness significantly longer than conventionally ground blades. The 534mm cutting length handles most domestic and light commercial hedges comfortably, and at 3,600 cuts per minute the finish is clean and precise.
The 21.2cc low-emission engine keeps running costs reasonable for a petrol machine, and at 390ml the fuel tank is sized appropriately for the machine's typical use — long enough for a good session without being unnecessarily heavy.
