Lightweight at only 2kg with an adjustable telescopic shaft to offer an optimum cutting position and adjustable loop handle this trimmer is easy to use and control when trimming around obstacles such as trees or fences. The main shaft has an adjustment range of 180mm for comfortable height adjustment and the strimming head has a 5 position pivoting head for perfect working posture.

The on-off switch has a safety button to prevent accidental operation and a light to indicate low and empty battery status. With a built-in battery that gives you over 45 minutes of continuous runtime, this machine has the power to let you do domestic gardening without having to wait to recharge. Product must be currently advertised in print or electronic media (Including newspaper, catalogue, radio, television advertising or online) The machine was easy to use according to reviewers, who said it was great for small to medium sized gardening jobs.There are four red indicator lights on the battery – not the charger – to indicate the state of charge. The fan on the DC18RC charger makes a low hum and battery charge took one and a half hours. We managed 14 minutes run-time on low speed. For more time you can invest in bigger-capacity batteries – although, if you have yourself a collection of Makita tools, then you can just swap out the battery as you go, too.

Easy to operate front grip which provides better handling of the machine as the top of the grip is positioned closer to the shaft The machine produces 63 decibels of sound when running, making the noise level comparable to a dishwasher or traffic.

When you switch on the leaf blower the sound resembles a hairdryer, and even on the top setting it only reaches “crazy hairdryer” in volume. This helps if you don’t want to annoy close neighbours. The 5 head positions on the Makita DUR181Z 18V Review make this trimmer highly versatile and the fact that you can use a range of interchangeable batteries gives you more freedom. Despite being an 18V trimmer you could effectively work on larger lawns with one of the larger batteries. The additional features and sturdy design make this trimmer marginally heavier at 2.5 Kg. This is still relatively light and the adjustable height, pivoting head and adjustable spool handles make it comfortable to operate. Power I have a 5amp battery and using that I've only ever used about 1 bar of the battery, or about 20 minutes of use. The provided 1.5amp battery would be largely useless for any prolonged use. So, if you are thinking of getting this, get a larger capacity battery.
