well in fairness I smoked my dads black and decker trimmer the same way when I was a kid. He made me finish the hedgerow with a manual trimmer.I used hedge trimmer for the first time the other day. For light weight trimming its probably fine. It got stuck twice on a 3/4ish branch. It instantly started to smoke the second it bound up and smelled like burnt electric if you know what I mean. I'm assuming its going to die in short order as its literally half smoked.

I would kind expect 3/4" branches to pretty much trash any little electric hedge trimmer like that advertised or not pushing to the absolute limit will usually short the lifespan of anything.. especially when one mans 3/4" can vary by eye..
an electric hedge trimmer isnt the best tool for trimming 3/4" branches regardless and most people dont wait that long to cut and reshape thier hedges lol.. it is called hedgeTRIMMER for a reason
