Bosch UNIVERSALHEDGEPOLE P4A 18v Cordless Telescopic Pole Hedge Trimmer 430mm
Battery AH Explained
The best way to describe battery amp hour is that this is effectively the size of your fuel tank, the more amp hours your battery has then the longer the battery will last between charges. More amp hours does not increase the power of a given tool.
Battery Voltage Explained
A tool with a higher voltage than another is a bit like choosing an engine in a car, the higher voltage will generally mean higher power & performance. As with cars though a bigger engine does not always translate to better performance so it is important to compare the specifications of tools at different voltages between different manufacturers.
Bosch PowerForAll
The Bosch PowerForAll Tool range is a range of tools you can buy knowing that batteries are compatible with all tools in the range providing they are of the same voltage. eg 18v fits 18v, 12v (10.8v) fits 12v (10.8v) etc. Please also note that 10.8v is compatible with 12v & vice versa as it is just a name change. Indego Lawnmowers also use the PowerForAll 18v battery but require a cover plate to be removed if changing.
PowerForAll has many advantages not least the fact that once you have a tool with a few batteries then there is no need to buy the more expensive versions with battery & charger, you can just go ahead & buy the much cheaper no battery versions!
So remember PowerForAll signifies complete battery compatibility throughout the range. There is however, one caveat to this, some of the very first older chargers will not charge the very latest batteries & a battery charger upgrade will be required if you have a first generation charger. All batteries fit all tools however.
As of 2021 Bosch has licensed PowerForAll to other manufacturers whereby batteries between these manufacturers will be interchangeable.
Important
You cannot use Bosch Pro (Blue) batteries in either 12v or 18v DIY (Green) products.

Read 74 Customer Review(s) for Bosch UNIVERSALHEDGEPOLE P4A 18v Cordless Telescopic Pole Hedge Trimmer 430mm
excellent tool with ease of operation. Ordering and receiving the product (as advertised) is a smooth sail. I would use the service again.
Great product gives easy access to wide and tall hedges
Excellent, easy to use light in weight, anti - blocking system really works, longer battery life than others advertised would definitely recommend as my hedge is approx 15 feet high & 50 feet long
I am very pleased with the Bosch cordless hedgepole. It reaches a very good height, and it is great not to have to worry about cables. I bought it from Tooled-Up as it was the only place I could find to buy it without the battery and charger, which brought the price down, as I already have these for other Bosch Universal cordless tools I own. I am very happy with the service from Tooled-Up. The trimmer is not as powerful as a normal corded Bosch electric hedge trimmer I own but that was expected. It is not too heavy although of course a little bit more unwieldy than a normal hedge trimmer. Overall I am pleased with it and with Tooled Up.
Bought this for a high hedge at the side of our garden. The ground is uneven so using a stepladder with short trimmer was precarious at best. It is bit cumbersome, as you might expect, although the shoulder strap included is a massive help, allowing it to be balanced in use and not weigh down on the arms too much. The extendable pole and variable cutter angle are good features. I though the combination of trigger and safety catch might be difficult to operate with one hand but it was easy in practice. If you have a thick high hedge the cutter might not reach top shoots on the far side, depending on the hedge height. Best to measure before buying. Good build quality from Bosch.
Ive bought a few bosch universal 18v garden tools from Tooled up. com the strimmer being one of them. Tooled up .com has a vast selection of bosch home and garden tools including professional tools too. Competitive prices Quick delivery a great service. I would recommend TOOLED UP. COM.
18v Cordless Telescopic Pole Hedge Trimmer is good build quality and performs well when trimming. The motor and blade setting works well to steadily cut through most hedge branches with ease. The main drawback is the weight at the head end when extended, its quite a work out to handle. The head angle and pole extension adjust easily and shoulder strap is useful in spreading the weight while using it. I've used it a couple of times and it save having a ladder or chair to reach the tops of hedges.
Bought to use on tall hedges. As I already had a Bosch hedge trimmer with battery and charger went for the bare tool plus Bosch had a promotion for a free battery. (Still waiting for my battery) I’ve only had a quick go with it. Seems easy enough to use. Really good for the bits of hedge I used have to stretch for.
Arrived well packed - great item - A BIT HEAVY BUT DOES THE JOB. GOOD REACH AND FLEXIBLE HEAD MAKES JOB EASY
I bought the version without battery as I already have 18v Bosch tools. The pole is a good length for cutting tall hedges and as expected is a little unwieldy and a little top heavy. The shoulder strap helps control the pole and the blade cuts well. It feels well made and is easy to extend and shorten. The head is easy to angle when the pole is shortened at least for me as I'm quite tall. Not worrying about a trailing lead is great. Battery life seems very good but I was using a Bosch pro battery with adapter.
It is good. A little heavy but appreciate has to be.
Only just started using this, but it is certainly a fantastic bit of kit for dealing with those hedges heading for the heavens. A tad unwieldy despite being well balanced. However time and more use will no doubts see me being a jedi topiarist !
Great price and great service. I couldn't get hold of this anywhere else. Does the job perfectly even if it is a bit heavy for me but that is my problem not the hedge trimmer. A great product and it uses our existing batteries. Perfect.
Well informed every step of the way during the purchase - product was on back order. Product does the job, can wobble a little on full extension.
Very pleased with product and service. Prompt delivery. Will definitely be recommending
Cuts the hedge beautifully. Quite heavy, very heavy if the pole is at full extension and not vertical. It's a very good machine, but I have an issue with the strap which will strangle you if you try and change hands/ direction when using the machine.
Great price with Tooled Up as I already had the battery pack Two day delivery compared to months with Amazon Well packed It is heavy though so builds forearm muscles
I used the Hedge Trimmer for the first time and was very happy with its performance. It was great to be able to use the battery from my other, smaller, trimmer - a big saving. My only comment would be that for someone of my age, late 70's, it is quite heavy. I guess I'd better restart my gym membership!
Competitive price swift delivery
I read the reviews before purchasing and some customers did say the hedge trimmer was heavy. The trimmer cuts well but it is heavy if you have a large hedge. You'd certainly have to rest in between cuts.

Customer Questions & Answers
Q : Hi now it is back in stock, does it still come with the shoulder strap?
A : Good morning, Yes this item does come with the shoulder strap included.
Q : When will it be back in stock and will it still qualify for a free battery
A : Good afternoon, The stock is due in to us around the end of August but that is subject to change. The free battery offer expires on the 13/07/2022 I am afraid.
Q : How heavy is this please
A : Good afternoon, This item is light weight and weighs 3.6kg.
Q : You're out of stock right now. When do you expect to have new stock in as I'd like to buy this item?
A : Bosch are currently advising that we can expect these in again around the start of November but this has not been confirmed yet (and these dates often change at the moment).
Q : Does the total shaft length (2.6m) include the length of the cutting blade (4300mm) please?
A : Hi Barry, the maximum length of 2.6 metres is including the blade yes
Q : I have a bosch hedge strimmer with batteryPBA 18v 2.0ah 36 watt would this be good for this long reach hedgecutter.
A : Hi Michael, as long as it is one of the Power4All (or Power For All) lithium ion batteries, which it sounds like it is from your description, it will be suitable. All of these batteries will work with the UniversalHedgePole, the only difference is the amount of runtime you'll get before you need to recharge. The 2ah batteries are at the lower end of the scale but may be all you need (depending on the amount of hedge that needs trimming).
Q : Which battery is recommended for this trimmer? 2.5ah, 4ah or 6ah.?
A : Hi Jonathan, it really depends how much hedge you need to trim. If you're just neatening up a small hedge in your front garden, the 2.5ah battery might be all you need, but a 6ah battery will let you work continuously for a much longer time without needing to recharge, and would be better suited to larger jobs.
Q : Can I buy a loop handle
A : You may well be able to get a detachable loop handle to fit onto this tool but I'm afraid we don't stock any for sale by themselves.
Q : I need an Operating Manual, could I download it Thanks Ronald
A : Hi Ronald, I've added the user manual as a PDF at the bottom of the product page on our site - however, it will probably take around 24 hours before you'll be able to download it, so if you try tomorrow you should be good.
Q : I have the power 4 all drill with two 1.5ah batteries. Will these be sufficient for this hedge cutter and the long reach mini chain lopper.
A : Hi Gary, the 1.5ah batteries are really best suited to smaller and more intermittent tools like drills and they will work with both of these machines but they won't power them for very long - for typical usage you'd probably want at least the 2.5ah model, although bear in mind that if you have the older style charger with a curved profile some of the bigger batteries won't fit into it
