Thanks for the advice, I've just ordered this model so I can just stand on my garden instead of using steps . I also gave the makita lawnmower and strimmer which are great
I was only looking at the hedge trimmer attachment for my petrol stihl pole pruner this morning. I've got the mini chainsaw attachment and that's absolutely brilliant. Had a sixty foot pine tree come down with a storm a few years ago and I used it more than the stihl petrol chainsaw. Great tools. 260 quid for the trimmer head though.
Thanks for the video - very useful and informative . I have a standard Makita 520mm Hedge Trimmer and it is great , but i have some tall hedges that i want to get to without resorting to using ladders.
That was my exact reason for investing in this Makita hedge trimmer. It is so much quicker, easier, and safer without needing steps. Thanks for your comment!
Nice bit of kit, don't forget to oil it after each use as it helps a lot,as its easy to forget and people wonder why its not working properly and it gets sticky .
@@FixitwithFowler Yes, I'm too far invested in Ryobi tools to change now. They might not be man enough for the pros but they have done some fairly hefty DIY duty.
I've never used them but I know a lot of people who rate them. As you say, once you have the batteries and other tools in the range, then it makes sense to stick with that brand
This has nothing to do with hedges but my question is,.How do you paint over plasters bonding or do you sand/scuff it up first...it just soaks the undercoat up even after 2 to 3 coats ??
Bonding plaster goes on as a base coat to bond between the bricks/block work and the final skim of multi finish plaster. So, in short, you either need to add a skim of multi finish plaster or some sort of filler like gyproc easifill. Hope that helps
One very important thing to mention is if this Makita is equipped with a battery protection where it won't let you draw these lithium batteries down too much as to ruin them as opposed to the older Nic batteries which can be drawn right down and be recharged with no problem, this problem has affected the my Makita 18 V tools such as drills, circular saws etc.Has Makita done anything about this ?
Oh right, the instructions that come with the Makita hedge trimmer state 10mm cutting diameter, but I'm sure it could manage thicker bits. Thanks for your comments!
