Makita is expanding the line of cordless outdoor power equipment with the 18V LXT® 18" Telescoping Articulating Pole Hedge Trimmer Kit (XNU05SM1). The motor delivers up to 3,600 SPM for faster cutting. It is a welcome solution for professional hedge trimming because there are no pull starts, zero emissions, lower noise, and reduced maintenance.

Ten angle settings provide efficient trimming of overhead and low-lying hedges. The telescoping shaft easily adjusts the length from 6-feet to 8-feet to access hard-to-reach hedges. The 18-1/8” dual-action double-sided shear blade provides optimal performance.
