Makita DUH751Z 18V Li-Ion LXT 75cm Brushless Hedge Trimmer - Batteries and Charger Not Included

Product Information

We were a bit worried by the limited 1.3Ah capacity of the bundled battery, but it charged in under an hour and lasted for around 40 minutes. More expensive models will give you more cutting power or a longer reach, but this is a great affordable option for casual gardeners with a hedge or two to trim. The Makita DUH751Z 18v hedge trimmer features a powerful brushless motor that is more efficient than a brushed counterpart providing around 30% longer runtime and requires no maintenance. The double sided 75cm blade is designed for cordless hedge trimmers for faster, cleaner cutting with longer battery life and is capable of cutting branches up to 21.5mm making it a true replacement for electric and petrol trimmers.

Its triple-edged cutting teeth are designed to easily catch and firmly hold branches. Curved blades reduce friction resistance to suppress energy loss. Due to the low resistance run time is increased. The three-speed selection switch gives you ultimate control for a variety of hedges. DUH751Z Features: We like the chunky triggers on the handles, the large protective shield, and the guard at the end of the blade. So as long as you don’t need a powerful trimmer, you’ll find this one easy to use. The Gardena Comfort Cut 50/18V is another great choice for small to mid-sized gardens. As the name suggests, it’s been designed for comfort. It’s well-balanced and solidly built, with grippy, non-slip handles and good protection for the hands and blade. While it’s a little noisy for a cordless model – with a high-pitched motor noise that hits around 94dB at peak – there’s surprisingly little vibration transmitted through the handle.

User benefits

Our test model shipped with a 2.5Ah version of Bosch’s 18V “Power for All” battery, which will work with other products from Bosch and its Power for All alliance partners. It takes just over an hour to charge and runs for up to 80 minutes. This trimmer is ready to get some hard work done, and it makes it all look easy. The Makita DUH751Z 18V 75cm Brushless Hedge Trimmer features triple-edged cutting teeth specially designed to easily catch and securely hold branches. Its curved blades reduce friction resistance to suppress energy loss. Run time is also increased thanks to the low resistance. This tool is also equipped with a Battery protection circuit, which protects the battery from damages sustained by high temperature or overload current. Its ergonomic soft grip makes handling easy and comfortable, allowing smoother control for a more efficient result. Designed for professional tradesmen and gardeners alike.

Variable 3-speed (High: 0-4,400 / Medium: 0-3,600 / Low: 0-2,000 SPM) design for optimum speed control Whatever the hedge type, however, the three-speed brushless motor makes light work of it. Plus, when pairing with Makita’s 18v 5.0Ah battery, the DUH751Z seems to go on forever; we had over 90 minutes of use from a single charge. And even with a longer runtime, the rotating handle kept things comfortable for both horizontal and vertical trimming. A great alternative to a hefty petrol model, the DUH751Z is a top-tier tool for demanding jobs. Constant speed control delivers more power to the motor depending on the material being cut to keep the motor speed constant and three speed settings high/medium/low can be set to match the environment and extend battery life. The rear handle has an ergonomic rubber grip for firm control and rotates in 5 positions for comfortable prolonged cutting.
