ZUYIYI Cordless 2-in-1 Pole Hedge Trimmer for Makita 18V — Bare Tool, 20in Dual-Action Blade, 7–8.5 ft Reach

The ZUYIYI 2-in-1 Cordless Pole Hedge Trimmer is a detachable, Makita 18V-compatible tool that converts between a handheld bush trimmer and a 7–8.5 ft pole trimmer with a 20-inch dual-action blade for clean, low-vibration cuts.

Replace ladders and awkward reaches with a lightweight, extendable trimmer built to expand your current 18V Makita tool ecosystem. Designed as a bare tool (battery not included), this unit gives you professional reach and maneuverability for hedge tops, tall shrubs and awkwardly positioned branches while keeping storage and transport tidy thanks to a quick-release pole system.

How does switching between pole and handheld modes work?

Changing configurations is quick and tool-free using the push-button quick-connect pole. The detachable extension locks securely so the tool feels balanced whether it's used close to the ground or at full reach.

• Tool-free assembly with quick-connect pole system
• Detaches to serve as a compact handheld bush trimmer
• Secure locking mechanism for stable handling
• Compact storage when disassembled

What power source is required and is a battery included?

This trimmer is compatible with Makita 18V BL series lithium-ion batteries, allowing you to use existing Makita batteries for cost efficiency. The product ships as a bare tool, so you'll need to supply a Makita 18V battery and charger.

• Designed for Makita 18V BL series batteries (battery not included)
• Works with your existing Makita 18V platform for convenience
• Battery choice determines runtime and cutting throughput
• Reduced initial cost by omitting battery and charger

How effective is the cutting performance for hedges and small branches?

The 20-inch hardened steel dual-action blade cuts with reduced vibration and can handle branches up to about 3/4 inch thick, making it suitable for routine hedge trimming and light pruning. Dual-action teeth give smoother finishes and faster work across dense growth.

• 20-inch hardened steel dual-action blade for precise cuts
• 3/4-inch maximum cutting diameter for tougher stems
• Low-vibration action for comfortable continuous use
• Blade cover included for safe storage and transport

How does the adjustable head and weight affect usability?

The head pivots through six positions up to 150°, offering greater reach and angle options than many competitors. At just 7 lbs without battery, the trimmer is easy to lift and maneuver, reducing fatigue during longer sessions.

• 150° pivoting head with six angle stops for precise shaping
• Lightweight 7 lb body (battery excluded) for less arm strain
• Ergonomic, non-slip handle for steady control
• Balanced weight distribution for safer high-reach trimming

Who is this for? Homeowners, landscapers and gardeners who already use Makita 18V batteries and want a flexible, lightweight trimmer for both ground-level and elevated trimming will appreciate this tool. It suits anyone seeking a safe alternative to ladders for hedge tops, a compact handheld trimmer for smaller jobs, or a cost-effective addition to an 18V battery toolset. Note that the unit is sold as a bare tool, so plan to use a compatible Makita 18V battery and charger for operation.
