Pros
- Light at 6.78 lb with the battery, so long sessions are easier on the arms
- A 4.0 Ah battery runs it for up to 100 minutes on Makita’s figure
- Double sided blade cuts in both directions for faster passes
- Battery fits the large Makita 18V LXT tool range
Cons
- Only cuts branches up to about 0.6 in, so it struggles with woody overgrowth
- No rotating handle for vertical cuts
