Review: A quick trimmer for lawn details, provided you don't mind bending or kneeling. I wish an extension handle was available as is for my Gardena equivalent. Fits current Makita 18V batteries from their power and garden tool lines. Makita is a brand I've had good luck with, going back to the early 80s.
Review: Don’t even waste your time with this useless tool . I bought it to keep a long established hedge outside my front door pathway and it was not even man enough for that. I tried it and it stopped working in the first sweep across the top of the hedge. A small twig stopped it working. I don’t persevere with underpowered tools as I would be wasting my time. Don’t waste yours. I returned it together with the extension arm that I bought to go with it. This thing is a joke. Like Mickey Mouse created it. What a con that is. I discovered that there are no short cuts. Get the right tool for the job as compromised don’t work.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How do you sharpen the blades?**
A: Don't know for sure. You can take the blades off and hand sharpen. Perhaps Makita may sharpen it?

**Q: Why am i having a hard time locating the hedge trimmer attachment (in the us)? internationally, it appears to be viably available.**
A: I had a really hard  time finding this part . It took me forever but here it is Makita 	198408-1

**Q: Does the BL1041B battery fits this shear?**
A: My battery (I bought locally) is a standard Makita 18V Battery 4.0 Amp: BL1840B from a local store. So your battery should fit fine. It will accept a range of Makita batteries. Probably all.

**Q: Can it cut emerald zoysia**
A: this will cut off your finger!  This is no toy or average clipper.   It can cut small branches.

*by M***D on 24 May 2020*

I've been using a Gardena 8893-U for years, and although it is expensive, double the price of the Makita, it is well worth the cost. It's smaller overall (3" blades, 7.2v battery) but the blades are laser-sharp right out of the box and give a superior cut compared to the Makita (even though they are smaller). If you already have 18v LXT tools & batteries, the Makita is a good choice. If you have to buy 18v LXT batteries and a charger though, greatly adding to the cost, I'd highly recommend going with Gardena instead. I use a 4.0 Ah battery with the Makita and that gives it more than enough power. I've only used it 3 times though (fully charged each time), and the blades are already dull to the point where it 'drags' while cutting thicker grass. You have to move it along very slowly to get a decent cut. The teeth on the blades are configured such that it is very easy for mulch, small gravel, etc to cause the blades to jam too, requiring a screwdriver or similar to pry it loose. The angle attachment and hand guard only get in the way. I removed both. The ergonomics are very good overall, and with a 4Ah battery it's heavy, but not too bad. After 30 mins it was still comfortable to operate. I like the idea of Makita using external rechargeable batteries, as opposed to the Gardena with its non-replaceable internal battery pack. Replacement blades are hard to find and ridiculously overpriced for both Makita and Gardena. More so with Makita , assuming you could even find them, to the point it's almost cheaper buy a whole new unit instead. Bottom-line, if you've ever used a Gardena, you will probably not like these shears. If you need grass shears and already have other 18v LXT tools though, it's a good deal.
