Hi all, any recommendations? My wife suffers from white finger so after a few minutes has to rest using our 10 y/o Aldi special.

She's quite small, so would need a petit size + I'm not convinced about the effectiveness of Gloves.

I’ve found the makita 18v to be very smooth. I’ve got plenty of hedges, she’s welcome to test it!

Traditional shears don't vibrate much...

We have a 12V Parkside hedge trimmer which is light and easy to use, and an 18V Chinese one which is more powerful, I wouldn't say either vibrates excessively, but a certain amount of vibration is pretty much implicit in the way these things work.

Seriously, I inherited a nice old pair of shears and I can get a fair bit done pretty quickly, on the kind of young growth that shears are ideal for.
