Supersedes DUH651ZMakita DUH601Z 18v LXT 600mm/23.6" Brushless Hedge Trimmer Body Only
The cordless Makita DUH601 is a Brushless hedge trimmer which is powered by a single 18 volt LXT battery. It has a 60cm (600mm) blade length and a maximum cutting diameter of 23.5mm. The three-speed selection switch gives you ultimate control for a variety of hedges.
New triple-edged cutting teeth are designed to easily catch and firmly hold branches. Curved blades reduce friction resistance to suppress energy loss. Due to the low resistance run time is increased.

Like everything Makita produces the DUH601Z body only hedge trimmer is exceptionally well made. With its battery pack it's still relatively light and comfortably manoeuverable. Its cutting blade is sharp and can accommodate some sizeable stems. Whether it's value for money, time will tell as it's at the pricey end of the market. Also I feel it a pity there's not some price concession when buying a battery.

Solid, sharp and lightweight. Easily surpassed my expectations

Fantastic trimmer - not too heavy, easy to handle (especially when up a ladder!), and it cut through my mixed hedges (beech, laurel, blackthorn, hazel) without jamming on the chunkier branches. Used with 5ah batteries I was able to do all of my hedges on a single charge, and it was much quieter than my old petrol trimmer.

Seems well made as usual for Makita as well a good balance once the battery is inserted. Not used yet so only gave 4.

Only used it once so far but I was pretty amazed how quick & efficient it dealt with my hedge.

Obviously not as heavy duty as a petrol or electric trimmer. But does the job very well
