Makita191T38-7 Pole Saw Attachment EY403MP

Used for several purposes. Cutting Large conifer hedge, thicker branches to thick for hedge cutter. High branches on trees. Very useful.

I bought the complete DUX60 makita cutting and strimming set up. First things first… as a system its brilliant. You will need several batteries and a pair of chargers if doing community work at a big scale but other than need to charge its powerful and impressive.The pole chainsaw is my fave bit of kit. It is amazing at big hedges, brambles and raising treet canopies. The cost is high, but its a fab bit of kit and other than the strimmer itself, it’s the one I use the most. Love it!

I didn't get on with this at all. I bought it alongside the 18V LXT power head and tried to use it to do a bit of pruning of a years' overgrown beech hedge, which was too gnarly for my hedge trimmers to get through.In use I found that this mini chainsaw head just chewed up the thinner branches and mostly moved the thicker ones about without cutting very well. It was also uncomfortably heavy to hold out at arm's length horizontally [and I'm not a seven stone weakling].Now, I'll be first to admit that I tried to put this into service for a task it isn't primarily designed for. But I hoped it would fall somewhere between conventional hedge trimmers and a chainsaw for cutting through "stuff" that was too much for the former and not rigid enough for the latter. In the end it just wasn't fit for that particular purpose.You may have better luck using it as a more conventional pruning saw for single high branches. But I already have an excellent manual pole saw for that. So this was returned.

Use regularly at home can’t fault it
