Makita DUH551Z 36 V Cordless li-Ion Hedge Trimmer

Product Information

A Makita-built brushless motor delivers 4,400 SPM for faster cutting speed when set on the high speed option. However, a longer blade also means a heavier and more unwieldy hedge trimmer, so there’s always a balance to be found between size and weight. It takes a relatively long time to charge - 230 minutes - and although the run time of just 20 minutes is very short it comes with two batteries, so if you’re organised and keep the second battery charged, you can get 40 minutes continuous use. It uses one of Bosch’s 18V “Power for All” system batteries, which takes about an hour to charge and gives you around 30 minutes of trimming. It’s part of Makita’s expanding 18V LXT System, the world’s largest cordless tool system powered by 18V lithium-ion slide-style batteries.

Some of our partners may process your data as a part of their legitimate business interest without asking for consent. It’s also lighter than its gas-powered competitors, so you can use it for longer without getting fatigue. However, petrol has an environmental impact, is expensive and messy and trimmers are heavy, noisy and require regular maintenance.

Always check for nests before trimming, even outside these months, as it’s an offence under law to intentionally damage or destroy active bird nests. What’s more, hedge trimmers by their very nature make it all too easy to cut through the cord if you’re clipping at an angle without paying due attention.We and our partners use data for Personalised ads and content, ad and content measurement, audience insights and product development.
