Has anyone ever used this to trim "Sea Grape" hedges? Also, is this a double sided cutting edge?

It is a double sided cutting edge. I have never trimmed sea grapes, but it works fine on heavier stems, as long as they are not too thick

It is a double-sided cutting edge and I have used it to slice through 1/4" limbs! It's an awesome tool and became my favorite gas-powered device after using it for 2 minutes.

Sorry, but I am not familar with the Sea Grape hedge. However, as the product photo clearly shows, this trimmer has a cutting edge on both sides of the bar. Also, my experience with Husqvarna is that they produce very good products.

it is a double sided heading is. I am confident it would take care of your secret hedges no I've never use it on them. Are you still the business south florida and have trimmed sea great. I think you be fine.

Yes. I use it a couple of times a week to clear brush and vines along my fence lines.

Our trimmer is new, so it has not needed sharpening yet, however, there are many articles to tell you how to do it yourself, such as on www.gardenguides.com/67541-sharpen-black-decker-electric-hedge... They say it is cheaper, however , I would have someone else do it , due to my limited skills. :-)

I actually use the feather double edge they have done a great job for me. I have only used one other brand and they did not seem to be as sharp. I do not have a lot of experience with double edge products but think feather edge gets the job done extremely well.

I would have to say no. I think you just need to get a hedge trimmer for hedges. Sorry.

i have not cut mine - the fabric looks like it would fray - there's something called 'Dritz Fray Check' which stops fabric fraying - that might work along the edge

I only needed to cut one end. I used a pair of manual shrub cutters. (the kind used to trim small hedges less than 1 - 2" thick). They have to be very sharp and you will have to hold/ pull the Bosmere very tight while cutting it.

I would not recommend it.It sharpens both sides of a surfaceRepeted use would move your scissor blades further and further apart

Yes it is, I used it on our concord vines, which it cuts easily. It adds about 4 feet to yournatural reach overhead. I love mine and my neighbors ask about it. These are well made, well designed and WORK.

I would say yes, if you are cutting green stalks or fresh growth. I am assuming you have less than a dozen vines. I have a small vineyard, over 200 Niagara and New York Muscat vines and produce about 2,000# a year. I prune mine by hand using an anvil hand pruner as I walk the rows daily, or If I let them go for a couple of weeks, my electric hedge trimmer. I use the LR-3460 to clip, hold and retrieve water plants in my pond. Also on my Wisteria, Rose and Trumpet Vine arbors. Both the Rose and Trumpet vine have new green stalks 1/4" and smaller. The older trumpet vines are woody those larger than " can be hard to cut. In my experience woody or harder skinned plants can require a double cut and can cause the cutter heap to jamb closed. Keeping the cutter head cleaned and sharp can help to reduce this problem but does not totally eliminate it. In my experience I find this tool is useful when the job is small and requires finesse and reach. I would not use this tool to "Get the Job Done" or say when the job will require more than one hour to complete.

I really don't know Richard. But as well it works on the four blade type, I would think it would really work well on double sided blades. And besides, it is so inexpensive I would say give it a try. I only had mind a short time and it has already paid for it's self.

it is a cutting edge, why would you use oil. the edge is replaceable although I have not had to as yet.

I use it primarily for cutting palm fronds, which are quite firm. However, I have used it to trim spent crape myrtle blooms/seed pods, and it works on both wonderfully. Rarely have I been so pleased with a relatively simple product. I think it should work for you, but can't be sure. Just dry off the blades when you are done :)

it cuts very well, in hedges i really don't know. I love to work with this B&D; The oil is with it the delivery and you can use the oil that"s also needed for chain saws.

For a simple response, the straight side is the cutting side. But in actuality, both side are wavy as the blade dips up and down because it is a mulching blade.

Yes, I purchased a replacement blade also. I've had to remove the cover a few times to remove stringy fresh hedge clippings and it's real straight forward. Looks like a small lawn mower blade.

Yes it is very sharp to cut the rhizome roots and w a long blade it can go deep. I cleaned out a big patch of aggressive lily turf by cutting the soil as well as the roots. Great tool.
