XMU04ZX 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion Cordless Grass Shear with Hedge Trimmer Blade, Tool Only

I have an ornamental grass garden and once they go dormant in the winter I have to cut them down to just above ground level. These cutters are great for that task and only a larger, heavier duty hedge trimmer would be better.

I just love this Makita with the hedge trimmer blade attachment. So much so that I purchased a second one for use in our Local Forest Garden. It does the heavy work around trees and bushes that we can't get into with our weed whackers. That way we can protect that drip irrigation lines. I use the hedge trimmer attachment for heavy grass. BUT BE CAREFUL. This is not a toy, and it is very easy to injure yourself if you don't pay close attention. The blades are extremely sharp. I managed to almost cut the tip of my thumb clear off. Battery life is super. Weight makes it easy to handle for long periods of time.

I bought these grass shears to cut down the ornamental grasses shown in the pictures. It used to take me a couple of hours using hand clippers to cut these grasses down in the spring. I used the Makita with the grass clippers attachment, and it worked great! It was like giving a haircut. I was able to do all 12 plants in about a half hour. I was worried after reading some reviews that it would bind, but I had no problems other than when I got a piece of bark caught in the blades. They would not work for cutting anything very thick, but they work great on grasses. I considered buying some of the less expensive shears on Amazon, but decided to spend a little more because I have Makita drills and their quality is excellent. I was very happy that I was able to use the previous generation of 18v batteries that my drills came with on these shears. I haven't tried the hedge clipper attachment. Some of the reviews talk about how tough it is to switch between attachments. After watching a YouTube video on how to change the attachments, it was easy and didn't take long at all. I would recommend this Makita tool for anyone wanting an easy way to trim grasses.

This was a great purchase! Easy to use safely. Nice having two cutting blades, though I mostly use the hedge attachment.

Exactly what I needed! I'm using this for trimming of ornamental grasses. It is FANTASTIC for doing that. Very light and glides through the overgrown grass like a hot knife through butter. Very light with the small 18V 2Ah battery which lasted a very long time. My large job took 1.5 full batteries. It took a job that usually takes me 2-3 hours down to 30-45 min.! I can not speak to how it performs as a hedger, as I've not tried the hedger blade attachment, but it works great for light new growth trimming of hedges of all types. Highly recommended, and I can't believe I've been using hand clippers for these jobs for so long. Well worth the money IMO in time savings alone. Time=money ;-)

Light trimming of shrubs is great and quick with this tool.

This is my first review on Amazon. Sorry it's long. I am angry for a couple reasons and feel responsible to let people know about this cordless grass shears. When I decided to buy Makita over lesser priced equivalents was, I wanted the best product and thought Makita would be the right choice that would do a great job. I am extremely disappointed in the performance of this product. I bought it to ONLY cut grass along a white fence so my weed wacker wouldn't damage the fence but more importantly throw grass against the fence staining it green. Initially I was very disappointed how badly the blades cut the grass. It sort of chewed the grass and it took too long to cut. My cheap traditional scissors did it so much better, but it was way too much for my hands. I felt I had no choice but persevere with the Makita, but by the end of summer the grass shears were barely cutting the grass at all. It cut like really bad scissors and the grass seems to go between the blade and it didn't cut but chewed it. Looking at the blades showed no obvious issues. The blades do rub together as expected. So why did it cut so poorly? When I called Makita customer service they wanted me to bring it to an authorized service center that was far from my home or mail it to them for inspection. I told him the product runs but it's not cutting. All they could say was send it in, but the blades are not covered under warranty so I would go through all the trouble only to be told there's nothing wrong with the actual product. A waste of my time and a waste of more than $200 since the shears and the battery together was over $200. Unfortunately they told me I waited too long for a return. I think they should have returned it but even if they are in the right not to refund my money I am still angry and disappointed in this company and its product and advise people to stay away from at least these Grass Shears. Personally I won't buy Makita. I think they should stand by their products especially if their product is poorly designed or just not working properly.

I use it to trim plants and works very well, very versatile and easy to use!
