Makita HU06Z 12V max CXT® Lithium-Ion Cordless Hedge Trimmer, Tool Only

Sporting a very positive first impression because this little beauty is well balanced, easy to trim & shape with and basically works like a charm! Wish they made a kit for it with a battery, charger, and plastic storage case, but this will do for now. Just bear in mind that this is a petite 12 volt shrubber, not a full sized 18v trimmer-hedger and the power is not as intense. It works great for what is designed for and is now one of my favorite cordless tools! Kudos to Makita from a Makita cordless fan and thank you, Amazon for the fast prime home delivery!

If small area's to handle, this is your tool. I love Makita and Milwauki tools. I only wish it came in a higher voltage for those that have massive jobs to utilize such equipment. The ease of handling and sharpness of blades gives it 5 stars. I love it so much I am going to buy another and ship to my sister. Great for 1/2 hour jobs. Charges rapidly. Forget about the catch gate included. Your going to have to cleanup anyways. It makes a nice guide however if one has unsteady hands or Parkinson's Don't take that as a joke, it is not. My brother suffers from. Just a Que for one that may have either and still loves to garden. Thanks for listening. Ken Sanderson

As a woman I was never trained on how to use a trimmer so I wanted something small and easy to handle. This tool is pretty lightweight and very easy to use It did the job quickly. I did 4 trees plus some brush (to push it back) and a few other things all on a single charge and could have kept going. Highly recommend!

Wow, if you’re wondering if this is worth the money, don’t. Ive been using a less expensive unit for a few years. With about 7 large topiaries, I had no idea what I was missing. Forget all the noise about voltage, battery size, etc. when you buy quality like this you get super sharp blades and a cut speed that doubles the other guys. Just buy it, you’ll understand after 10 minutes of cutting what you’re missing.

Can’t handle much, or clutch slips. And when the blades get done, it’s good for the trash???? No sharpening service will touch this- they all say the blades are too small! Makita, a disappointment! How’s about a solution for worn clutch and blades?? So upset!!!!

So I never actually used this thing but I did like the size and weight and the quality it felt durable and I think it would have good maneuverability. Had to return it because I rock the 18 V platform.

This is the tool I’ve been dreaming of forever. I’ve bought several battery grass shears and saw the Mikita grass shear. Bought it and it certainly is a good, long lasting tool. After liking the power and durability of the makita grass shear, I bought this trimmer. What a life changer! It is the perfect size for one hand use. I use it to harvest peppermint for making home brewed tea. Trimming around trees, spring clean up of pokey, dried stems. We have 5 country acres and have a lot of the thick stemmed wild grass that gets into everything. This tool just cuts through it with ease. The battery lasts as long as I’ve needed it in a full day of work!! Did I say how much I love it !!

Very light weight, yet powerful. Battery doesn’t last as long, but I can use any of my husband’s other Makita tools.
