Makita DUH606Z 18 V LXT Brushless Cordless Hedge Trimmer 600 mm

The Makita DUH606Z 18V LXT Brushless Cordless Hedge Trimmer 600 mm Body Only is intended for shaping and maintaining garden hedges, shrubs and bushes. Its 600 mm double-sided reciprocating blade has 30 mm tooth spacing and cuts branches up to 20 mm thick. This cutting format provides broad coverage for routine domestic trimming as well as more demanding garden maintenance. A brushless motor drives the blade at up to 4,000 strokes per minute, supporting consistent cutting across longer sections of growth.

The body-only trimmer weighs 2.2 kg before a battery is fitted, which is the relevant figure when assessing handling weight. An ergonomic padded rear handle provides the main gripping position and supports controlled movement along hedge faces. Its soft-grip surface adds cushioning where the tool is held during extended trimming sessions. Listed battery life is 70 minutes when the trimmer is used with a compatible lithium-ion pack.

Compatibility is limited to the Makita LXT battery system, making this configuration most relevant to users who already own suitable packs. The removable battery format allows a discharged pack to be exchanged instead of remaining fixed inside the housing. No battery is supplied with this body-only version. A charger is also excluded, so first-time LXT users will need to obtain both components separately before operating the trimmer.
