Webb WEPHT26 26cc Petrol Long Reach Hedge Trimmer
Trimming tall hedges from a ladder is one of those garden jobs that combines physical effort with genuine risk — the WEPHT26 removes both by putting 230cm of reach between the operator and the cutting head, keeping feet firmly on the ground throughout. For hedges that have grown beyond comfortable handheld trimmer height, or tops that would otherwise require ladder work, it's the practical and safer solution.
The 26cc full-crank 2-stroke engine provides the torque needed to drive the 16.5" (42cm) dual-action blades through growth at height without the machine struggling under load — important when the cutting head is at the end of a long shaft and there's less physical control over blade pressure. The 90° pivoting cutter head allows the blade angle to be set for trimming both the vertical sides and the horizontal top of a hedge without repositioning the whole machine, and the split shaft makes it easier to transport and store.
Vibration-damping technology reduces fatigue during extended use at full reach, and the included harness provides additional support and stability during longer sessions. The loop handle and grip handle combination gives good two-handed control throughout.
Backed by a 3-year warranty with UK-based customer support.
