Makita XMU04ZX 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion Cordless Grass Shear with Hedge Trimmer Blade, Tool Only

I love this tool. The first time you change the attachments it is a little tricky so use You Tube, but other than that it is great. It is compact and light weight which makes it much easier for trimming the hard to reach places.

I use it to trim plants and works very well, very versatile and easy to use!

I just love this Makita with the hedge trimmer blade attachment. So much so that I purchased a second one for use in our Local Forest Garden. It does the heavy work around trees and bushes that we can't get into with our weed whackers. That way we can protect that drip irrigation lines. I use the hedge trimmer attachment for heavy grass. BUT BE CAREFUL. This is not a toy, and it is very easy to injure yourself if you don't pay close attention. The blades are extremely sharp. I managed to almost cut the tip of my thumb clear off. Battery life is super. Weight makes it easy to handle for long periods of time.

This unit is well made and powerful. It appears to be thrifty with power, but I expect Makita tools to be more well thought out than the competition for the extra cost to purchase it. Changing to the hedge clipper is not difficult but detailed and somewhat tedious. You really want to be able to unplug one and plug in the other attachment to proceed. Not so. Tools are needed and the grease can get messy as you flip parts over and do what is needed. Works well afterward but you pay a price. I use a 4.0 battery from my drill set and I find the battery is always dragging on the ground and screw clearance holes fill up with dirt. This more pronounced with remote handle attachment but somebody wasn't thinking. Makita batteries are expensive and don't want them in the mud. But overall, I am glad I bought it. Love not having to get the string trimmer out spraying clippings on my legs and endangering the basement windows with projectiles. Great for a little bit of trimming but covers a side swath at the same time.
