Works like I expected, good for medium size branches.

The Makita 22 inch 18-volt cordless Hedge Trimmer had plenty of power and battery to trim all my hedges, not to heavy and a lot safer with no extension cords.

Nice looking unit, light weight, cuts excellent and has great battery life. Another great quality Makita product.

Lightweight and easy to use. Best ever!
Holly Krajcik (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.
