Effortless trimming of tall hedges from the ground
The Bosch UniversalHedgePole 18 cordless pole hedge trimmer is ideal if you need to maintain taller hedges but want to stay safely on the ground:
- Ladder-free operation: the telescopic pole and pivoting head let you cut hedge tops and sides without climbing steps or ladders.
- Perfect for front and rear garden boundaries: typical privet, beech or conifer boundary hedges can be reached and shaped from one side.
- Good for medium-size gardens: with the supplied 2.5Ah battery, the tool can trim up to approx. 200–250 m² of hedge per charge, under typical conditions.
For many homeowners, this makes hedge maintenance safer, quicker and less tiring than repeatedly moving and climbing a ladder with a conventional hedgetrimmer.
Handling, ergonomics and reach
Despite offering significant reach, the UniversalHedgePole 18 is designed for comfortable handling:
- Weight around 3.6 kg including pole – light for a long-reach cordless hedge trimmer.
- Height-adjustable pole: set the working length between roughly 210 cm and 260 cm to suit your height and hedge size.
- Pivoting head (up to 135°): angle the cutting head for comfortable trimming of vertical sides, angled tops or the back edge of hedges.
- Ergonomic grip and balanced design: Bosch has designed the tool to be optimally balanced along the pole, reducing strain on arms and shoulders.
- Blade-tip protector: allows trimming close to walls and paths while protecting the blade tip.
Cordless operation also means there is no cable to drag through the garden or snag on shrubs, steps or furniture, making it easier to move around long hedgerows.

Frequently asked questions – Bosch UniversalHedgePole 18 cordless pole hedge trimmer
Is the Bosch UniversalHedgePole 18 suitable for my hedges?
The UniversalHedgePole 18 is ideal for tall domestic hedges where you would otherwise need a ladder with a conventional hedge trimmer. With its 43 cm blade and 16 mm tooth spacing, it is best suited to typical garden hedges (privet, beech, conifer, laurel tips) with branches up to around 16 mm in thickness. For very thick, woody stems, a more powerful hedge cutter or pruning tools may be required.
Does this kit include a battery and charger?
Yes. At Masseys we supply the Bosch UniversalHedgePole 18 as a kit, complete with 1 × 18V 2.5Ah battery and 18V charger. If you already own Bosch 18V POWER FOR ALL tools, you can also use your existing batteries in this hedge trimmer to extend runtime.
How high can I safely reach with the UniversalHedgePole 18?
The telescopic pole adjusts between roughly 210 cm and 260 cm, and the pivoting head lets you angle the blade onto the top of tall hedges. This gives most users a comfortable working reach of up to around 2.6 m from ground level, depending on their height.
How long does the battery last?
Runtime depends on hedge density and cutting style, but typical figures from retailers and Bosch data suggest you can trim up to around 200–250 m² of hedge per charge with the supplied 2.5Ah battery under normal conditions. For very large gardens or multiple hedge lines, many users choose an additional Bosch 18V battery to alternate.
Is the UniversalHedgePole 18 heavy to use?
At around 3.6 kg including the pole, the UniversalHedgePole 18 is relatively light for a long-reach cordless hedge trimmer. The tool is designed to be well balanced and ergonomic, helping to reduce strain on arms and shoulders during use.
Can I trim close to walls and paths?
Yes. The hedge trimmer has a blade-tip protector, allowing you to trim close to walls, fences and paths while helping to protect the cutting blades and surrounding surfaces.
Can Masseys help me choose between different long-reach hedge trimmers?
Absolutely. Our staff can help you compare the Bosch UniversalHedgePole 18 kit with other
long reach hedge trimmers,
standard cordless hedge trimmers
and petrol machines so that you choose the safest and most effective option for your hedge height, thickness and budget.
