## Description

Makita is expanding the line of cordless outdoor power equipment with the 18V LXT Brushless Cordless 20" Articulating Pole Hedge Trimmer Kit (XNU01T).

Enjoy up to 80 minutes of run time using a fully charged 18V LXT 5.0Ah Battery. Six angle settings offer 115-degrees of working range. The XNU01T is ideal for efficient trimming of overhead and low-lying hedges. The 20” dual-action double-sided shear blade provides optimal performance. The BL Brushless Motor delivers up to 4,400 SPM for faster cutting. It has three speed options (2,000/3,600/4,400). The commercial-duty gear case is engineered for improved durability in daily professional use. Makita's Extreme Protection Technology (XPT ) is a protective seal inside the tool. It is designed to improve a tool’s operation in harsh conditions by channeling water and dust from key internal components. For improved tool performance and extended battery life, Makita created Star Protection Computer Controls . Star Protection is communication technology that allows the Star Protection-equipped tool and battery to exchange data in real time and monitor conditions during use to protect against overloading, over-discharging and overheating. For increased versatility, the tool can also be powered by Makita 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Batteries with the star symbol on the battery indicating Star Protection inside. It’s part of Makita’s expanding 18V LXT System, the world’s largest cordless tool system powered by 18V lithium-ion slide-style batteries. Makita 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Batteries have the fastest charge times in their categories, so they spend more time working and less time sitting on the charger.

Review: Amazing tool - Every year I have 150’ of eight to ten feet high and eight foot wide laurel hedges to trim. This Mikita extended trimmer is just the right weight and length to do most of the job easily. I only had to pull out my really long Echo gas trimmer for some of the longer reaches. After using gas for all these years it is so nice to having a trimmer so light and easy to manage. I can also start early in the morning when it is cooler because it is so quiet and not bother the neighbors. English Laurel is one of the harder hedges to trim because the leaves are so big and the stems get woody. The Mikita cuts through pencil size woody twigs easily. I regret not buying it years ago. I also have the chainsaw, blower and string trimmer not to mention drills and flashlights, so I have a good collection of batteries. Battery life with heavy use was longer than I could last with the 5 amp battery. Sharp and powerful. I fell in love with it within the first five minutes. The real deal, not a toy.
Review: Must have tool - I bought this tool to handle the 15-20 bushes on my 2 acre property I had a battery black and decker which served me well but just did not wow me with performance. This tool was not cheap but after seeing the reviews and watching videos, I decided to try it. Comes with two batteries so you are never without power . Ease of use is just fantastic with the swivel hedge clipper easily moved into different positions. However, I find myself setting it up in the straight positions most of the time. The unit is very light and can be used continuously without fatigue. Now because of that, I pull this tool out all the time and use it to trim up pretty much anything in my yard. Bushes, trees grasses, more bushes. It cuts better than any hedge trimmer I have ever had and now my bushes look great. I will be sitting in my backyard and I will see one of my bushes needs a small trim and I will pull this baby out and within minutes , I am done . I would recommend this to anyone who has let’s say more then 5-7 bushes that need trimming , less then that and the unit is a tad expensive for smaller yards. It is the best tool in my arsenal

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lightweight, powerful and long lasting battery
*by S***. on August 30, 2024*

I live on an acre of property on the coast of California. It’s beautiful but requires constant maintenance. After spending thousands on landscaping crews I decided to invest in the DIY tools. I’ve been a longtime user of Ego battery powered tools. They’re relatively inexpensive and do the job. I ran into a professional gardener using this Makita trimmer at a local hotel. I asked his opinion and he said he’s tried many different brands but Makita is the best overall. So I took his advice and bought one. I’m amazed at what a difference it makes in comparison to its Ego counterpart. It’s very lightweight, quality feel, easy to operate and the small battery is powerful and lasts a long time on a single charge. My only issue is they should sell a blade cleaning tool as an accessory. I tried a brush and rag and cut my fingers (the blades are razor sharp
