Makita 18V Brushless Hedge Trimmer 600mm (DUH602 Range)
The Makita 18V Brushless Hedge Trimmer 600mm (DUH602) is a powerful and lightweight landscaping tool designed to provide efficient trimming and shaping without the hassle, noise, and fumes of a petrol-powered equivalent. Powered by a high-efficiency Brushless motor, this trimmer delivers exceptional cutting performance, effortlessly slicing through branches up to 21.5mm in diameter. The 600mm blade provides excellent reach for medium to large hedges, making it a perfect choice for both residential gardeners and professional landscapers.
Engineered for maximum user comfort, the DUH602 features a rotating rear handle that can be positioned at 0°, 45°, and 90° to the left and right, allowing you to comfortably trim vertically and at various angles with minimal strain. It offers advanced control with a 3-stage electronic speed selector (Low, Medium, High) and a variable speed trigger, giving you the ability to match the cutting speed to the specific density of the foliage. Additionally, the built-in anti-vibration structure and lightweight 4.5kg design (with battery) significantly reduce operator fatigue during extended use.
