Features & Benefits
- Cordless Freedom: Operates on Makita's 18V LXT Lithium-ion batteries, providing power without the restriction of a power cord, enhancing mobility and safety.
- Brushless Motor: Delivers increased power, extended run time, and a longer tool lifespan due to reduced friction and heat generation.
- Long Reach Design: Features a long shaft, with an overall length of 2,115 mm, enabling users to easily trim tall or wide hedges without the need for ladders in many cases.
- Angle Adjustable Head: The hedge trimmer head can be adjusted through 115 degrees, with 6 angle settings from 45° tilt-up to 70° tilt-down from the horizontal position. This allows for comfortable and effective cutting of hedge tops and sides.
- Foldable for Storage and Transport: The blade can be folded 180 degrees, significantly reducing the tool's length for compact storage and easy transportation.
- Optimised Blade Design: Equipped with 500mm double-sided sharpened blades featuring triple-edged cutting teeth. These are engineered to securely hold branches and reduce friction, leading to smoother cutting and improved battery efficiency.
- Three-Speed Settings: Offers high, medium, and low-speed options (4,400, 3,600, and 2,000 strokes per minute respectively), allowing users to select the optimal speed for different hedge types and cutting conditions.
- Constant Speed Control: Maintains consistent cutting speed even under load, ensuring uniform results.
- Reverse Rotation System: A helpful feature that allows the blade to be freed if it becomes jammed by thicker branches, preventing damage and improving workflow.
- Electric Brake: Increases user safety by rapidly stopping the blade motion once the trigger is released.
- Extreme Protection Technology (XPT): Designed to resist dust and water ingress, enhancing durability and reliability in various outdoor conditions.
- Lightweight Construction: Contributes to reduced user fatigue during prolonged use.

The first thing to think about is the power source you prefer. If you’re a landscaper or other professional, you may want the power of a petrol-powered tool. However, thanks to ever-improving battery technology, the newest cordless electric Hedge Trimmers offer a viable alternative. They’re also a good choice for home users, especially those with larger gardens; is there anything more frustrating than plugging in your Hedge Trimmer, only to find the power cord is too short to reach the vegetation you’re looking to cut?
It's also worth thinking about the hedges themselves, especially in terms of how thick they are, their maturity and the type of plants growing within them. This can be important because Hedge Trimmer blades are made up of a series of evenly spaced teeth, and the space between these indicates the size of branch and stem the trimmer can comfortably cut. Mature hedges and those made up of woody plants like privet or holly can have thicker stems, so the blade on your tool of choice needs to be able to cope with that.
This means that blade length is an important consideration when choosing a Hedge Trimmer. Longer blades are designed for use on those thicker stems, while a shorter blade might be a good match for home users with smaller gardens and younger foliage. The ToolStore UK range of Hedge Trimmers includes tools with blade lengths from 25 cm right up to 75 cm.
Brushed motors use carbon brushes to transfer power from the fixed part of the motor to the rotor. This creates a reliable and relatively inexpensive motor, but brushed motors d require regular maintenance, in order to either clean the brushes or replace them as they wear out. A brushless motor, by contrast, uses a magnet mounted on the rotor to generate the power and electrical switching to perform the function carried out by the brushes. The additional complexity of the motor’s working means that brushless motors are usually more expensive than brushed.
However, eliminating the brushes also eliminates internal friction and maintenance, meaning that brushless motors offer both increased power and a longer working life. Brushless motors also generate less heat and noise and so, on balance, are considered superior to brushed motors.
