Makita GHU01Z: The Hedge Trimmer That Changed My Life

[@jwm1893]

Glad to see you reviewing Makita's XGT OPE. I think they're underrated and there's not enough reviews.

[@dmacl123]

I have had M18, Ego and got into the XGT line earlier this year. Your review is 100% accurate. The first time I picked up the hedge trimmer I was impressed at how smooth and refined it was. I have the 17” string trimmer (replaced the head with echo), hedge trimmer, and blower. I’ll likely get the chainsaw as well. I kept just a couple Ego and sold out of M18. The new eRebates makes it easy to get tools and OPE.

I'm excited to hear your thoughts on the other 40v OPE that you have. I have some of their tools for maintaining our lawn, and I really like them. The build quality of their power tools / OPE just is very impressive. That is something that even my dad noted when using some of them. Interested to hear your perspective since you use these to make money.

What is the name of the plant you are trimming at 5:13?

[@draytonPW]

I have a lot of power tools of various brands but Makita's OPE line is one I will not be dropping anytime soon.

Just checking you said 3600 and 5000 spm which is the 02Z model but in the headline is says the 01Z model which has the lower rpm for thicker material “rough cut’ which has the 2000 ,3000, 4000 spm, Appears you may have accidentally mixed up the headline number.

[@tomsqualitylawncare5945]

And/Or the headline number is correct and you are holding the 01Z model but all the cutting speeds you mentioned in the video are from the 02Z model either way something is askew

You should try out the new 60v flexvolt hedge trimmer looks impressive

[@elreydelmundo8499]

I'd be surprised if it's better than the 20v Dewalt

[@electric6877]

It's way better. I started with the 20v dewalt then got the 18v and then ended up going with Husqvarna then Greenworks Commercial but I'm considering these because they're way faster than all that I have

[@johnbcardin]

$400 tool + $300 battery!

[@parkerk7018]

Hedge trimmers are always expensive

[@Surmoka]

@@parkerk7018 except that for example Ego costs less than half the price for similar performance.

[@jakubciba6858]

Try it with 2.5ah or at keast 4ah with 5 it is really unbalanced

[@Surmoka]

XGT line is good but waaaaaay overpriced.

[@HarlemGreatest]

Meh… Ego is way better
