Makita 17-3/4" Electric Hedge Trimmer - UH5550

The Makita 17-3/4-inch electric hedge trimmer is the most powerful trimmer in its class. You'll make quick work of those hedges with its powerful 4.6 Amp motor. The handle is simple to operate and features an ergonomic grip design for comfort and reduced vibration. This trimmer is well balanced for even sweeps over the tops of hedges and, weighing only 7.1 pounds, it won't wear out your shoulders during those hard-to-reach trims. It features a cutting diameter of 9/16 of an inch, and a cutting length of 17-3/4 inches. Makita hushed this trimmer down for quieter operation. For ultimate safety, the two-hand operation switch-motor will run only when grips are held with both hands, and the blade stops quickly when grip is released. A large, transparent hand guard lets you see what your trimming. Makita designed this tool for low vibration for reduced strain on the hands and arms. It comes with a limited 1-year warranty.  more
