The new 18V LXT brushless cordless 20 in. articulating pole hedge trimmer, XNU01, and 18V LXT brushless cordless 24 in. pole hedge trimmer, XNU02, allows Makita to offer a complete gas-replacement portfolio to convert a commercial landscaper’s handheld equipment to cordless.

The XNU01 is ideal for efficient trimming of overhead and low-lying hedges. The 20 in. dual-action double-sided shear blade provides optimal performance. An articulating blade provides six angle settings for 115° of working range. The BL brushless motor delivers up to 4,400 SPM for faster cutting, with three speed options (2,000/3,600/4,400). Users can enjoy 80 minutes of run time with a fully charged 18V LXT 5.0Ah battery. Makita’s 18V LXT brushless cordless 20 in. articulating pole hedge trimmer is available as a bare tool (XNU01Z) and kit (XNU01T).

Also ideal for efficient trimming of overhead and low-lying hedges, the 18V LXT brushless cordless 24 in. pole hedge trimmer offers 75 minutes of run time using a fully charged 18V LXT 5.0Ah battery. The XNU02 weighs less than gas models and features a 24 in. dual-action double-sided shear blade. It has three speed options (2,000/3,600/4,400) and a BL brushless motor that delivers up to 4,400 SPM for faster cutting.
