MakitaHU06Z 12V max CXT® Lithium-Ion Cordless Hedge Trimmer, Tool Only

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

It is light weight and transpires quality but the price is too high and the power is not enough.

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!

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 !!

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.

worked great but does not work with standard Makita batteries that come with other drills and saws. I had to order a separate charger and battery in the CXT series. Other than that it works great and comes with safety guards. Use time for me was about 35 minutes.

Works great for its size. Not enough power to get the thicker branches but definitely sharp and gets smaller branches.
