Best electric trimmers I’ve ever used. Nice wide cutting area.

I am pleased with the grass shears. They are very easy to use. I was only using mine for 10 minutes and someone stopped in a car and asked about the shears.

Well made, works well.

It is really nice!! Cuts great, has a nice wide swath, and keeps on going for as long as I need it. It’s balanced very well and easy to use. Highly recommend.

I tried a B&D grass trimmer and after a few minutes it was not able to do the job. With the Makita I’m able to go crazy!

The drill is good quality and is so nice to work with. Used it to trim about 60 or more small boxwoods and the battery never gave out. Besides smaller boxwood’s it’s great for deadheading perennials that are bushy as well. Very happy with this purchase so far.

powerful, light, clean cut for cutbacks on Lily turf & mondo grass in the garden. Crew in a pro environment were thrilled.

Works better than I expected….great for stuff that one slip with the string trimmer would destroy..

I have several Makita 18v tools and am happy with the quality and performance. Bought this to trim several shrubs that the hedge trimmer is a bit large for the space I have to work in. It cuts will up to about 1/4 inch after that it’s iffy. Cuts most of the twigs/branches on my shrubs. This is a quality tool that I expect will give me great long service like all my other Makita tools.

It’s a great little tool
Kariane Gaylord (verified owner) –
The tool is awesome. What disappoints me is that only the tool can be purchased not a whole kit with batteries.

Works as expected. Going to draw blood if you get your fingers in the way.

I work at a golf course….this tool gets the job done!

This is an expensive product. Originally, I opted for the cheaper Black and Decker product but it was not much more than a toy. This is a solid, heavy duty product. A little on the heavy side because I got the largest battery to go with it, but I am very pleased with the quality. I don’t actually use it to trim grass. I use it to dead head plants in my garden. I can trim a 2 gallon potted mum with spent blossoms in under a minute.I wondered if I would regret paying this much for this type of tool, but once I used it I knew this purchase was a good investment.

Have been waiting for this clipper since the last model was discontinued. It is more powerful and battery lasts much longer.
