Makita DUX60Z Twin 18V (36V) Li-Ion LXT Brushless Split Shaft - Batteries And Charger Not Included

Product Information

The versatile attachments are easily fitted with a tool-less slide joint coupling with a simple clip-lock fixing the attachment securely in place. Delivering excellent power levels this lightweight machine boasts 0 harmful emissions and extremely low noise levels which allows this Combi engine to be used in noise sensitive areas. It cut through thick branches (I believe the max branch cut size is 21mm which is one of the best out there) with ease and completed the whole job using only half of the battery life (2 x 5ah). As with cars though a bigger engine does not always translate to better performance so it is important to compare the specifications of tools at different voltages between different manufacturers. If you've done it, made it, got a van load of oily t-shirts and have decided to give something back by sharing your knowledge or wisdom, then you're welcome too.
