Just that really. We have flymo easi trim hedge clippers, they were really good but now frequently getting stuck on the slightly thicker branches. Can I get them sharpened or are they done?

Hedge trimmers are designed for soft new growth, apologies if you already know this but if I was given a tenner for every time I got called to trim a hedge that has not been touched for about 5 years and explain that this is now now a job for loppers and saws, I could have a lovely holiday.

you would be best not to sharpen an electric hedge trimmer, electric hedge trimmers only have a short life span, would recommend if possible to purchase a petrol one as this will help in the longer term and you can buy replacement blades for them, whereas for electric ones , you cant.
