Cordless Electric Pruning Shears, 2 Gears, for Makita Battery (Body Only) — Confirm Your Battery Platform

A cordless pruner only makes sense if it runs on batteries you already own, and this one is built around the Makita 18 V platform. The listing is a 65 mm two-gear electric pruning shear for cutting tree branches, sold for Makita batteries — which is exactly where the checks begin. First the battery system: Makita has more than one 18 V line, and a slide pack for the LXT range does not fit an XGT tool. Confirm which Makita packs you own, that the terminal and latch pattern matches this tool, and keep in mind that third-party 'Makita-style' packs can differ slightly in terminal height, so they may not seat fully or may cut out under load. Second whether the battery is included: tools sold 'for Makita battery' are usually body-only, so check whether you are buying the shear alone or with a pack and charger, and how many batteries the kit contains. Third the cutting figures: the listing labels it 65 mm, which for pruners is often the blade size rather than the branch diameter you can actually cut — confirm the maximum branch diameter in each of the two gears and what the two gears change, opening width, cutting force or speed. Also check the blade type and whether it is replaceable, the weight in hand for a long pruning session, and any restriction on shipping lithium tools to your country. 541 sold with a 98.0% positive rating.
