    I have purchased a Webb WEPHT26 long Reach hedge cutters for one bush at home but the thing jams up on a branch and then blades don't move. We have opened the gearbox part where the blades go in and can see the bottom blade keeps on jumping off the bit inside causing it not to move. If you use...

    After much debate between an Echo 225 Short shaft trimmer, the Stihl fixed blade with the short shaft, or the Echo with the long shaft and adjustable blade I landed on the 94K.
