   I’ve used the Makita trimmer extensively in the few weeks since it arrived. Delivery, by the way, was swift; no problems with packaging. The trimmer comes with a couple things I’d not seen before. One is a “Hook Complete” that links the trimmer cord to an extension cord and prevents stress between the two that could otherwise cause disconnection. Another is a “Waist cord hook” and “Holder” that clips to the belt and keeps the extension cord well away from the trimmer blades. Previously I had used a carabiner clipped to a belt loop, but the Makita hook and holder work better. Over the years I’ve owned trimmers from different manufacturers that required pivoting of the blade in order to change from a horizontal to a vertical cut. A really nice feature of the Makita is that the placement of three switch triggers [rather than two that most trimmers have] eliminates the need to stop cutting in order to pivot the blade head. With three switches, all that is needed is to place the tool in the desired position and use any two of the three switches that best meet the need. The 25″ blade makes hedge trimming quick, clean and efficient. End results have been impressive, whether trimming round or square corners. This trimmer is among the more expensive, but if your bushes or hedge lines are long and tall, and you like to keep them neatly trimmed, the Makita is the right tool for the job.
