YAWV Electric Pruning Shears compatible with Makita 18V, Tool-Only | Brushless Motor & LCD Counter, SK5 Blades, 0.8–1.2" Cut

The YAWV Electric Pruning Shears is a lightweight, battery-powered cutter designed to plug into Makita 18V batteries and make branch trimming faster, cleaner, and less tiring.

These cordless pruning shears pair a high-efficiency brushless motor with SK5 high-carbon blades and an LCD counter to speed up routine pruning in orchards, gardens, and small farms. The unit ships as a tool-only model (Makita 18V battery not included) and focuses on safe, repeatable cuts with two adjustable cutting modes and a built-in safety sequence. It’s sized to balance power and portability, giving professional and hobbyist gardeners a compact electric alternative to manual shears or heavier power tools.

How fast and powerful are these shears for everyday pruning?

The YAWV trimmer uses a brushless motor rated at high RPM to deliver strong, consistent kinetic energy while conserving battery life. Blade engagement finishes in about half a second, letting you work through large numbers of cuts quickly without tiring your hands.

• Brushless motor for higher output and longer lifespan compared to brushed motors
• 0.5 second cut speed for rapid repetitive trimming
• SK5 high-carbon steel blades for sharp, long-lasting edges
• Designed to reduce wear and energy use for extended run time on Makita batteries

What branch sizes and cutting modes can I expect?

The tool offers two adjustable cutting-diameter settings to suit varying branch thicknesses, with a practical range that covers most garden pruning needs. Switching modes is straightforward once the safety activation sequence is completed.

• Adjustable cutting diameter roughly 0.8–1.2 inches (20–30 mm)
• Two-mode selector for finer or thicker branches
• Simple mode change by pressing and holding the trigger as instructed
• Automatic blade close feature for idle safety after holding trigger

Is it safe and easy to operate for casual users?

Safety features help prevent accidental starts while the ergonomic layout minimizes hand fatigue during long sessions. A built-in safety switch plus a required trigger sequence reduce risk, and the lightweight design keeps the tool comfortable for extended use.

• Built-in safety switch requiring a double trigger pull to engage
• Three-second hold to select cutting diameter; five-second hold to close blade
• Weighs about 1.6 pounds for reduced arm strain
• LCD display counter to track cuts and plan maintenance

What accessories and support come with the pruner?

The package includes replacement and maintenance items so the cutter arrives ready to use and stay sharp. YAWV also provides a two-year warranty to cover defects and support customer questions.

• Includes one SK5 replacement blade, lubricating oil, sandpaper, and assembly tools
• LCD counter and user manual for quick setup and operation guidance
• Two-year free warranty and customer support from YAWV
• Note: battery and charger are not included; compatible with Makita 18V series

Who is this for? The YAWV Electric Pruning Shears suits gardeners, orchard workers, landscapers, and hobbyists who already own Makita 18V batteries and want a compact, efficient tool for repeatable branch cutting. It’s ideal where speed, consistency, and low operator fatigue matter—such as routine orchard maintenance, pruning fruit trees, trimming vines, and managing hedgerows. If you need a cordless trimmer that balances cutting power with portability and straightforward safety features, this tool is built to fit into an existing Makita-powered toolset and simplify regular pruning tasks.
