This trimmer/pole saw works much better than I expected. Not for the pro that uses it every day, but excellent buy for the average home owner. I have invested in many Makita tools that use the same batteryAll are excellent quality.

I like how lightweight this is and that it has power too. I am a woman in her 60's and just love the fact that I do not have to mix oil and gasoline anymore!

I love the Makita tool set. The assembly was fairly straight forward. The weedeater works great. The battery life with the weedeater is really great. The weedeater has two speeds but mostly I only use the higher setting. Next the pole saw. All I can say is it also is great! Please know that I have extra batteries from the other Makita tools I own. And I used three Makita batteries with the pole saw for about 45+ min of heavy trimming. The saw is great and I trimmed some fairly large limbs. In the end I would totally buy this again, but if this was my only Makita tool I would get some extra batteries especially for the pole saw.

I was on the edge of buying the 18v x2 (36v) model power head but I’m glad I didn’t! This thing has plenty of power. The pole saw has more power than my actual normal style makita brushless 10” chainsaw. The weed eater shows much less on the spec chart vs the lxt brushless stand alone weed eater I already own, with the motor in the actual trimmer head. Surprisingly it is way stronger on the power head unit. Speed is great, weight is counterbalanced better and it comes with a sling making weed eating much more precise. I do recommend buying the shaft extension piece as this doesn’t reach very far for the pole saw attachment.

I have a 100' long 16' high "hedge" that is made up of laurels, deadora's that have been topped over the years, etc. All for a view of the lake. It has been a nightmare to trim every year. The actual hedge part is fine. I have a Makita hedge trimmer for that. What is hard are the shooters that aggressively grow off of the topped evergreen trees. These form trunks that are too thick for a hedge trimmer or a pole cutter. This kit works so well and I cannot believe I have maintained this hedge that way that I have for 20 years! The chain saw pole cutter is the absolute BOMB! With the counter balancing design of the motor and battery on the back end of the handle, the weight of the chainsaw (plus oil) is counter balanced in a way that makes the heft very manageable, even on top of a 16' ladder. I cannot say enough at how blown away I am at the efficiency of the cut. 2" to 6" rounds, lopped off in seconds. So now instead of multiple shooters as a result of limited cutting capacity of previous tools used, I was able to cleanly cut where I actually needed to, to facilitate healthy growth. The line trimmer is also excellent. Well balanced as well. Also spins really fast for efficient trimming of most any weed or brush. With the kit on sale, the value is the best addition to your landscaping arsenal for any amount of money, let alone this sales price!

Using the saw drains the battery quickly and all the parts for weed eater weren’t there.

This thing does exactly what it claims. Trimmer works well, but I wish it had the option to rotate the head for edging. It's a little awkward but I can make it work. Pole saw is very good for the relatively low power of this machine. User discretion is everything here, you're not going to go ballistic and lop off huge limbs with this. But for trimming off dead branches that are reasonably sized, the saw is very efficient! I've trimmed oak and walnut trees with ease so far. I like it, I already have the batteries, it's a good product.

OK, first what loved about this purchase was that I had the option to pay in 5 installments which, with how things are going in the world, it helped alot to be able to do that. Now to business, I love this makita & I've been needing a weedeater for about 3 years now. I had an old gas powered one but getting that thing to run..... let's just say it took more than I was willing to give. But now this combo kit, ahhhh it's so nice. Put the battery in & go. Works perfect for the area that I need to trim, I've used the chainsaw attachment to cut down some dead limbs in a couple trees around the house. And, not that I do it, but if I wanted to, I could do all my yard work at 3 a.m & no one would get mad cause there's so much quiter than a gas motor. My down side to it is that it came with the 4.0 battery which, ya it works but I've ran it till I had to swap batteries. And that's fine cause I've got other Makita tools so I just pop a 5.0 battery in it & go. I still need to look into getting other attachments but I'll get to that eventually. I highly recommend this product & all makita products. Those folks at Makita are super easy to talk to & get warranty stuff taken care of with little hassle.
