I bought this as I already have a cordless Makita drill and driver and got a charger and spare 4amp battery with them, so I thought I’d save some money and just buy the ‘bare’ hedge cutter... and I’m over the moon with it. It came well packaged and the nice sized 52cm blade was covered with a hard plastic sheath to protect the user. As I’d already charged up the battery I set about my overgrown privet hedge straight away. First noticeable plus was that the trimmer is light but robust, and as soon as I attached the battery the balance became perfect. It is nowhere near as noisy as my old Black and Decker model but that made no difference to the cutting power ... brilliant !! I managed to cut the whole hedge in less than half the time it took me when I had a corded version, and totally safer. I checked the battery after completion and there was still 50% left .. 👍👍👍 If I had to pick fault with anything I can only ask Makita to supply a protective cover for the battery terminals for the ‘bare’ models they sell as the hedge trimmer is now hanging proudly in my garage with a surgical glove stretched over the terminals to keep dust off it as I have uncoupled the battery to use with my other Makita tools, (which is probably the reason why I and everyone else who buys a bare model do after use) I would recommend these hedge cutters to anyone 100%Read full review

Yet another brilliant addition to the makita cordless range. No more mixing oil and fuel!! I already have the batteries so just brought the bare unit. Light and easy to use, plenty of power and excellent running time. 10 out of 10

Excellent cordless hedge trimmer! I have been using this to cut back a Russian Vine which has invaded my back garden. It has plenty of power and will cut through surprisingly tough and woody parts of the plant. I've been using a 4ah battery that was supplied with my Makita drill and on a full charge this hedge trimmer lasts for ages. Brilliant value for money!

If you have Makita kit and batteries then this is great. Like all battery powered equipment just pick it up and go. Simple. it’s two handed operation so provides a safe means of use. Cuts well so two thumbs up.

Powerful and low vibration it works well and is well made, the batteries seem to last quite a while. Best of all it is a lot more convenient to pick up and use, no fuel and 2 stroke to mix, or long trailing power leads mean you can just do a bit and come back to the job later. If you need to transport it there is no fuel smell or chance of spillage
