YAWV Brushless Electric Pruning Shears for Makita 18V Batteries — SK5 Blades, LCD Counter, 0.8–1.2" Cutting Range

The YAWV Brushless Electric Pruning Shears is a lightweight, Makita 18V-compatible cordless cutter with SK5 high-carbon blades, a brushless motor and an LCD counter for fast, precise pruning.

Designed for gardeners and orchard workers who already own Makita 18V batteries, these handheld pruning shears deliver rapid, reliable cuts without adding extra chargers or batteries. The tool-only unit fits BL1860/BL1850/BL1840/BL1830/BL1815 series batteries and uses a high-efficiency brushless motor coupled with hardened SK5 cutting edges to slice branches cleanly. It’s built for repeated use across gardens, orchards and small farms while offering safety layers and a compact, balanced form factor.

How quickly and cleanly does it cut branches?

YAWV’s brushless motor accelerates the blade action for near-instant cuts, giving a trimming action in about half a second. The SK5 high-carbon steel blade stays sharp for reliable, consistent slicing and resists corrosion when cared for properly.

• Cut speed: approximately 0.5 seconds per trim
• Blade material: SK5 high-carbon steel for sharp, long-lasting edges
• Cut range: adjustable diameter from 0.8" (20 mm) to 1.2" (30 mm)
• Designed for clean cuts on branches in gardens, orchards and vineyards

Will this work with my existing Makita batteries and chargers?

Yes — the shears are a tool-only model intentionally compatible with Makita 18V battery packs. If you already own Makita batteries and a charger, you can plug them in directly and avoid buying new power accessories. The product does not include a battery or charger, keeping upfront cost low if you already use Makita tools.

• Compatible models: BL1860, BL1850, BL1840, BL1830, BL1815 and similar Makita 18V packs
• No battery or charger included in the box
• Safe to pair with authentic Makita power sources to reduce risk from third-party cells

What safety and control features are built in?

The unit adds a two-step trigger safety to avoid accidental activation and includes an automatic blade-close sequence for idle times. Users select one of two cutting-diameter modes, and the device uses an audible beep pattern and a brief hold command to lock or release the blades. An LCD display tracks use so you can monitor pruning sessions without guesswork.

• Two-level cutting-diameter switch for 0.8"–1.2" branches
• Built-in safety switch requiring two quick trigger pulls to engage
• Hold-trigger functions: 3 seconds for mode operations, 5 seconds for auto-close beep sequence
• LCD digital counter displays usage for batch and inventory tracking

How durable and serviceable is the shears in heavy use?

The brushless motor is engineered for extended life, higher output and lower energy loss compared with brushed alternatives. The package includes a spare SK5 blade and maintenance tools so you can keep the cutter tuned on the job. YAWV supports the tool with a two-year warranty for added peace of mind.

• Brushless motor: higher longevity and improved efficiency versus brushed units
• Included replacement SK5 blade, lubricating oil and sandpaper for upkeep
• Weight: about 2.6 pounds for easy handheld use over long sessions
• Two-year warranty and customer support from YAWV

Who is this for: The YAWV Brushless Electric Pruning Shears suits home gardeners, orchard managers, landscapers and seasonal workers who want fast, repeatable pruning and already own Makita 18V power packs. It’s ideal when you need a portable, high-output cutter with clear safety controls and basic on-device usage tracking, without repurchasing batteries or chargers. If you need a complete kit including a battery, choose a different offering; if you want a tool that integrates into an existing Makita ecosystem, this unit is purpose-built for that workflow.
