MAKITA 18V LI-ION grastrimmer (alleen voor het product) - DUM604ZX

Prima graskant schaar en buxusschaar

Werkt uitstekend. Het is enkel niet makkelijk te wisselen van gras trimmer naar heggenschaar. Goedkoper dan bij specialisatie shop

Superbe achat, le changement de tête aurait pu être plus facile mais pour avoir du solide c'est du solide!

Outil parfait pour le jardin, robuste et tres pratique. Prise en main super . Ne vide pas trop vite les batterie, aussi c'est du MAKITA..

Muito boa a ferramenta. Útil para cortar a grama em pequenos locais e podar a cerca viva.

This is very much a first impression feedback which, I hope, addresses a couple of points in some other reviews.Firstly. As noted more on the sales page this is supplied as a BARE UNIT. Some buyer missed that there is no battery or charger. As with other professional equipment companies, items are sold this way as many users already have sufficient batteries. If you need a battery and charger they can together cost more than the tool.Secondly, changing from grass cutter to hedge trimmer is very easy and takes less than two minutes. You do need to read the instructions. They could be slightly clearer but all the information is there. The part that seems to confuse is that when the cutter has been removed a small rotating disc can be seen. For use as a grass trimmer it should show two concentric discs of different sizes. For use a hedge trimmer the discs are the same size. See photos with review. To change from one to the other just pull the disc off the pins, turn it over and push back on the pins. It is easy to pull off but grease makes it slippery so I use a pair of pliers to grip it. The instructions show the small locating pins lined up along the length of the tool for the grass side and across the tool for the hedge side. Rather than trying to turn the disc just leave it where it is and when placing the new blades in place slide the cutting blade a little (wearing gloves) and it will drop into place as soon as it lines up correctly with the disc.Now down to impressions of the tool itself. I have tended to standardise on DeWalt kit as I could also buy bare units to use my existing set of batteries. I have however purchased a Makita mower which came with batteries and charger so buying this grass trimmer was an economic decision. If I had no batteries and no intention of buying other Makita kit maybe the economics would not be so clear cut and I would have looked at cheaper options. Maybe one which came with a built in battery although they tend to work at a lower voltage and have less power. There is however no doubt that this is a quality made item and the extra power from 18 volts makes it a pleasure to use. I mainly use it as a grass trimmer but have tried the hedge trimmer and on thin growth it is OK. I guess I will still get my larger trimmer out on occasions especially if the growth gets heavier. The instruction do make it clear that any growth over 10mm should be removed with shears.A couple of small criticisms. The grass tray that fits on the bottom is not fantastically useful but it does act as a guide so the grass is not cut too short. It is a shame though that th size options do not match the mower size options. I have the mower set to 50mm but the longest option on the shears is 25. The principle of a guide is quite good though and I am looking at either sticking or screwing a spacer on the bottom to lift it to 50mm.The cuttings tray on the hedge trimmer is even less use. It is only an option if working horizontally and although it helps to keep cutting from dropping into the hedge its not fantastic. Both these items are really just lumps of plastic so not using them is hardly a big issue.

I have a big garden bordered with boulders. It's really hard to keep the grass trimmed around the boulders. Weed whackers don't get into the spaces in between well and if you try you go through yards of trimmer line. This works great and is very quick and easy. I already had batteries from a Makita cordless chain saw (also great!). I get tired of trimming the edges long before the battery wears out.
