Well balanced tool design- The battery position is located under the main handle, exactly at the place that plays a role of pivot point when the tool is swung like a pendulum for grass cutting. The battery is therefore not swung around to minimize userâ€™s fatigue.
Easy to change spool assembly.
5 position pivoting head enables user to adjust cutting angle, allowing for trimming in tight spaces.
Battery capacity warning lamp.

Really well made product. A pleasure to use.

Ian Nickless 7 months ago

Excellent strimmer. Runs for ages on an 5 amh battery and is very quiet. Would definitely recommend.

Scottish Crafter 7 months ago

I already had batteries so it made sense to go down this road. Spent about 20 mins cutting very long grass seemed to cope well

Sven 10 months ago

Works well and efficiently. Good for a small garden!

Ray Haskins 10 months ago

Excellent purchase for home , but I use a lot of Makita 18v tools for work so I knew it would be good ... check out the 18v hedge trimmers ( I’ve borrowed mine from my son, he’s moved house & no hedge .... result )

Janette Hammond one year ago

Very pleased with this item and would be happy to use household again

mike ward one year ago

had one for ten years cannot fault it

Bryan Mitchell one year ago

This Strimmer is small, light, and highly manoeuvrable as it is battery powered, and uses the standard Makita 18v power tool batteries. We have had experience with the tools in use and can say they are effective and hardy.

Mark Wicklen one year ago

Only used it once but so far so good a well balanced decent performing tool

Michael Nuckey one year ago

David Mccabe one year ago

It’s a little heavier than I thought. But it will do the job.

Luke Chaplin one year ago

PAUL R BELCHER one year ago

Excellent product and service

Jason one year ago

Great bit of kit great for the garden

Steve one year ago

A good price and excellent build quality.

Miss CY one year ago

For something that works off a battery it’s not bad. But for the cost of it I’d have expected a bit more oomph. I’ve got a garden that’s big enough for an electric strimmer to be a pain in the rear but not big enough to wield a petrol strimmer This would be perfect but it’s just not “quite“ man enough for the job. It does it. But it doesn’t do it well.

UK Shopper one year ago

If you already have the batteries then this is a great, light garden tool for edging and tidying up. Good value.

Dean Donovan one year ago

Great item

Ian W one year ago

Light and easy to use, did the garden quicker than it took to start the old petrol strimmer!

Tim Anderson one year ago

Very well made quality product from Makita

S. Cleary one year ago

Super strimner and reasonably light - easy to put together - have found it extremely useful

B Gracey one year ago

less powerful than a petrol strimmer, but more convenient , lighter and cheaper to run

Stephen T. one year ago

The trimmer has excellent head adjustments and adjustable pole length. The only thing that requires a bit of practice is edging the lawn. Take care to keep the string from wandering off line, otherwise you will cut a neat groove into the lawn surface.

Samantha North one year ago

Great light weight. Does the job in minuets

Miss Hiett one year ago

well balanced easy to use and lasts a good 30 mins on a 3 amp battery

Customer Alljobs one year ago

Best trimmer I have ever used. Very efficient as are all the Makita tools I use.

Lee from Suffolk 2 years ago

The cordless line trimmer works very well. Unfortunately, this is my second machine as my previous one gave up the ghost after two years, hence the reason why I took one star away. I use a 4ah battery and this gives a good 30-40 minutes of constant use, which I think is good.
