Landscapers and contractors are demanding more cordless alternatives to corded and gas-powered outdoor power equipment. Makita is meeting demand with an expanding line of cordless OPE, including the Makita 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion Cordless Hedge Trimmer (model XHU02Z, tool only, batteries and charger sold separately). With zero emissions, lower noise, and considerably less maintenance, the XHU02Z is a welcome solution for trimming applications. The XHU02Z has a Makita-built motor that delivers 1,350 SPM and a 22 in. blade for increased cutting capacity. The XHU02Z will run up to 120 minutes on the low setting on a single charge using an 18V LXT® 4.0Ah battery (sold separately). Cordless technology also means lower noise, and at only 87 dB(A) the XHU02Z is 25% quieter than other cordless hedge trimmers. It’s part of Makita’s expanding 18V Lithium-Ion system, the world’s largest cordless tool system powered by 18V Lithium-Ion slide-style batteries. Makita 18V Lithium-Ion batteries have the fastest charge times in their categories, so they spend more time working and less time sitting on the charger.

Great value for the price, 4.0 battery has lasted almost two hours and still has 1 bar left. Cuts great and is pretty light.

Great tool

Strong light weight. It’s cutting through my redwood shoots that grow crazy. The battery lasted close to 2 hours. Crazy lightweight easy to handle. I was told to go with gas trimmers. This little guy does the trick.

After using I understand why the flexible handle model cost so much more – would buy that instead.Battery life was awesome

I normally love Makita tools. It works, but for some reason I just don’t have confidence in it. I guess I just need to use it more and become adjusted to the battery instead of gas power.
Pinkie Blanda (verified owner) –
These hedge clippers are really easy to handle an battery life very good.
Trystan Schumm (verified owner) –
This is an amazing tool
Sarina Runolfsdottir (verified owner) –
Quality good, balance good, clean cutting and easy to use. Cutting power is fair and cutting speed is poor. Works for me as I only have one (1) small mulberry hedge. And I already have the Makita battery. If I had to purchase the battery I would return the hedge shear.

A great product! I used it once and someone stoled it an all my makita tools from my truck. Someone else will enjoy it as much as me!
