need new hedge clippers, currently looking at sthil and echo due to local dealer support, which is better?

 

HC150i by Echo been berry berry good to me

 

I own an older model HC 1500 that has been a huge money maker...although they are on the fritz at the moment.

not sure about the Echo, but I have a Stihl and love it. I really enjoy the handle that swivels. I didn't think that I would use it at first, but after a while using it, I don't think I could work without it. Good luck. Just make sure that you consider the service support you will be getting.

 

I have 2 echo trimmers and have never been in the shop. One is 4 years old and one is about 6 years old.

 

Had echo.............
Now have stihl...........
Won't go back..............

 

I have personally never used echo before, but I have used other Stihl products (not the hedge trimmer) and they are hands down the best I feel

 

Look at the gearbox of the two. I bought the one with the bigger gearbox.

 

i own echo,sthil,&sindaiwa.i like shindaiwa the best but will take the stihl over echo for quality.but my echo seems lighter

 

I like shindaiwa hedge trimmers. very good blades.
