Mountfield MHJ2424 review
Test scoreShow Context
- Petrol
The Mountfield MHJ2424 has the longest blade of any petrol hedge trimmer we've tested, at 61cm, and it also has the widest gaps between the teeth, meaning you can cut wider branches. But at 5.5kg, it's also the heaviest. Does this make it supercharged or just exhausting to use? Read our full review to find out.
