Makita DUH551Z 36 V Cordless li-Ion Hedge Trimmer

Product Information

The Makita XHU08Z 18V Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless 30″ Hedge Trimmer is a great hedge trimmer…if you’re a giant. What’s more, the ergonomic design has an ingenious feature where pulling a lever allows you to rotate the blade by twisting around the top handle. Einhell also makes a cheaper, hedge-trimmer-only tool – the GE-HH 18/45 – but this is one brilliant and versatile garden tool. However, the battery is integrated into the casing, so you must plug in the entire tool to charge it, and you won’t benefit from using the battery in other tools. However, a longer blade also means a heavier and more unwieldy hedge trimmer, so there’s always a balance to be found between size and weight.

If you would like to change your settings or withdraw consent at any time, the link to do so is in our privacy policy accessible from our home page. But if you’re like me and prefer something a little more manageable, then you might want to look elsewhere.What’s more, the head pivots, so you can have it straight for trimming the side of the hedge, then switch to a right angle once it’s time to cut the top down to size. XPT™ is a series of integrated seals engineered to channel away dust and water for increased durability. It takes a relatively long time to charge - 230 minutes - and although the run time of just 20 minutes is very short it comes with two batteries, so if you’re organised and keep the second battery charged, you can get 40 minutes continuous use.

What’s more, they come in all shapes and sizes, from lightweight trimmers you could use for some creative topiary to whopping monster trimmers built to tackle the most epic of coniferous hedges.The other thing that matters here is the power of the electric motor, as a more powerful motor will usually make it easier to slice through chunkier material. The charge is visible, while you work and both battery and fast charger are compatible with a wide range of Einhell Power X-Change tools. When the job takes your Makita tool into harsh conditions, Makita Extreme Protection Technology (XPT™) provides added protection.
