Brilliant, this pole trimmer made short work of hedge cutting, i wanted something relatively light (only 1 battery, reduces weight) & i was surprised how quick i got the job done. I must admit hedge trimming is not my favourite chore, i've had plenty of trimmers in over 30+ years, corded, petrol & cordless, this is the best by far & i'm actually looking forward to using it again.

So far, so good. I was looking for a long pole hedge cutter which I could use for extended periods, so wanted something that wasn't too heavy. This is ideal. Not heavy at all and can be manoeuvred into many positions for cutting. Really happy with the product after the first few uses.

Returned this, did not have a reverse action,was not clear in the advert. If you want a light weight hedge trimmer for light pruning on hedges etc. It would be great. Just wasn't robust enough for my jobs..Recommend easy trimming.

Great value and huge height reach

Great value with huge height reach if you're already in the Makita LXT 18v battery range. Downsides are the cutting depth is a bit shallow for trimming hedge tops and the branch thickness it can cut is probably 12-15mm max with a few nibbles required.

Light and easy to use

I had a mains electric hedge trimmer and have had to replace the cord numerous times having hacked through it! This trimmer is great, portable and light to use. The extension pole is excellent as is the adjustable handle which can be adjusted to balance the pole while using.

Easily assembled and adjusted. Long reach saves time since stepladders not required. Plus much quieter operation compared to my old hedge trimmer. I would recommend.

Unit advertised by Powertoolworld (& Makita) as having a reverse action and when I informed them (after receiving my order) that it did not their "technical dept" persisted in claiming that it did! It DOES NOT have a reverse action and that fact has now been confirmed by Makita UK. I advised Powertoolworld of this fact when I first received the item and also again when I forwarded Makita UK's correspondence confirming this model DOES NOT have reverse action - yet over 3 weeks later their web site still states the unit has reverse action.

Pro’s: Build quality and design good, battery life is excellent (completed over 1 1/2 hours of trimming on 1 battery with charge remaining), fairly lightweight, cutting head does a nice job up to 10mm thick stems, head angle adjustment quick and easy, with good range.Con’s: Hand position to find a balance point is a bit awkward. Using full extent of pole length can be tough unless it’s possible to get one hand a fair way up the pole. Got a good upper body work out from first couple of hedge trimming sessions.Overall: Would recommend, especially for Makita tools battery system users

Excellent piece of kit, a game changer for me. We have a number of high hedges with difficult access and this trimmer is superb as it I no longer have to balance (wobble) on step ladders!. I have a standard Makita trimmer which I've used and abused over the years and it's still going strong so if this does similar then it's money extremely well spent.
