Looking to start cutting my own Ficus bushes.. They are pretty tall, around 6-7 feet i would say.

I see the local landscaping guys using this big hedge trimmer that has some kind of metal debris guide on the single edge blade, (looks like a big letter F almost)and it just slices through like butter.

Every trimmer I have seen online does not seem to show this debris guide on it.

anyone know where can I get a trimmer like this? or a commercial grade hedge trimmer?

Are the gas hedge trimmers at home depot junk?

thanks!
