This cordless Grass Shear works great. The manual shows another attachment that can be installed on the tool. I called Makita to find out where I could buy the attachment and was told it was no longer available.

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

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

I think this is average because of no battery, need additional order.

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 tool is awesome. What disappoints me is that only the tool can be purchased not a whole kit with batteries.

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.

Great shears. Superior to any other currently on the market.
Meda Ledner (verified owner) –
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.

Cuts grass and light shrubbery very well – a whole lot easier than hand shears.

Droll easy to assembleWorks as expected

Have been waiting for this clipper since the last model was discontinued. It is more powerful and battery lasts much longer.
Gayle Kulas (verified owner) –
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.
Lisa Breitenberg (verified owner) –
Great for small-area grass or weed trimming; wide cutters; adjustable cutting speed; good balance with 3Ahr battery. Pay attention to the safety warnings, though, and keep your fingers well clear of the blades!

Very easy to use.
Heaven Altenwerth (verified owner) –
Drill came assembled, ready to charge. Easy to use ( for an old lady with wrist arthritis) Does a fantastic job on tall quack grass and thistles! Stays charged for a very long time. I really like this hand held, battery operated grass cutter.

Works great but should have slow reverse or some other method to more easily unjam the blade.
