French term or phrase: Cisaille de jardin
Hi,

I am translating a list of products for a retailer's website from French to British English. The product is a "Cisaille de jardin/Sculpteur de haie 2-en-1".

Here is the product in question: http://www.amazon.fr/dp/B0070U1DA4

I was thinking along the lines of "2-in-1 Garden Shears/Hedge Trimmers", but the long handle and wheels on the product is giving me doubts. Maybe it is some kind of fancy lawnmower. Anyone got any ideas on an appropriate translation for this device please?

Thanks in advance :)

Alternatively, "hedge trimmer", a different product, but I could not find the vertical type like yours.

Handy Battery Hand Shears with wheels

But I still think hedge trimmer or clipper are nearer the mark.

Grass & shear multi-tool


Explanation:
Selon Termium, grass trimmer est un coupe-gazon. Grass trimmers, ou strimmers. Si deux outils sont combinés comme dans la photo fournie, il faudra aussi ajouter hedge shears hedge trimmer.
Strimmer selon Robert & Collins = coupe bordure: La photo que vous montrez est un coupe bordure sauf qu'il y a une lame ajoutée pour faire office de taille haie.
"ne of the more powerful corded strummers on the market, this electric model has a wide cutting head (30cm) and sails through even long grass and weeds.

Voyez les deux références Web plus bas. Grass & shear multi-tool serait selon moi la combinaison des deux outils. Sources: journal et boutique britanniques.
