Description

The 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless Grass Shear with Hedge Trimmer Blade, Tool Only (XMU04ZX), is a compact and cordless solution for grass trimming and cutting. Easily change from grass shear to hedge trimmer for minor hedge trimming. The XMU04ZX has dual blade action and a wide 6-5/16” cutting width and delivers faster blade speed (2, 500 strokes per minute/SPM) than the previous model. When using a fast-charging 18V LXT 5. 0Ah battery (sold separately), users will get up to 200 minutes of run time on a single charge. It has 3-stage adjustment so the cutting height can be matched to the application. Additional features include a rubberized soft grip handle, tool- less blade changing, non-electrolyzed nickel-plated blades to resist staining and rusting, and a compact size at only 4. 1 lbs. (with battery, sold separately). It’s part of Makita’s expanding 18V Lithium-Ion System, the world’s largest cordless tool system powered by 18V lithium-ion slide-style batteries. Makita 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Batteries have the fastest charge times in their categories, so they spend more time working and less time sitting on the charger. For improved tool performance and extended battery life, Makita created Star Protection Computer Controls . Star Protection is communication technology that allows the Star Protection-equipped tool and battery to exchange data in real time and monitor conditions during use to protect against overloading, over-discharging and overheating. For increased versatility, the tool can also be powered by Makita 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Batteries with the star symbol on the battery indicating Star Protection inside.

    • Makita makes some of the best power tools on the market!
Style: Shears w/ Hedge Trimmer Blade
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.

    • Quality product and affordable price.
Style: Shears w/ Hedge Trimmer Blade
This has been a real nice addition to my yard tools. I purchased the extension handle (from another source) and it makes trimming a breeze. I'm 76 with 5 spinal surgeries making it difficult to impossible to bend. This tool has been a godsend. I highly recommend it.

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. ... show more

    • Worth every cent for ornamental grasses
Style: Shears w/ Hedge Trimmer Blade
I bought this tool to deal specifically with my horrifically overgrown ornamental grasses (about 4' round on each). Given the way my yard is laid out, "hacking" them down with hedge trimmers makes a huge mess. With this tool, I am able to get underneath the 3' tall grass blades and sort of sheer the plant like a sheep. Takes about 30 minutes per plant, but it results in very little mess and I can almost take the plants down to the ground with two huge bails to dispose of. After cutting two plants, the 4AH battery still has half a charge. The only thing I'd recommend on a job like this is to strip the tool of all guards (they get in the way) and bring a kneeling pad. I went with Makita primarily for the brushless motor. The entire tool is VERY easy to hold and handle. Even with a larger battery the whole thing is very light. I wasn't going to trust some $39 Ryobi tool to be stout enough to do what I wanted. The hedge trimmer attachment works good as well. My only gripe is the placement of the trigger safety. It's awkward to engage. ... show more

    • Makita NEVER fails to Satisfy!
Style: Shears w/ Hedge Trimmer Blade
Makita is second to none - the highest quality tools/machines. Owned them for decades Issue/problem free. Never had one fail on me. The only regret you can possibly have is NOT buying one!

    • Great Tool
Style: Shears w/ Hedge Trimmer Blade
I love this tool. The first time you change the attachments it is a little tricky so use You Tube, but other than that it is great. It is compact and light weight which makes it much easier for trimming the hard to reach places.

    • Just doesn't cut.
Style: Shears w/ Hedge Trimmer Blade
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. ... show more
