What You Need To Know About Makita Hedge Trimmers

A brand of lawn and garden equipment making a buzz in North America is Makita. Makita makes all kinds of affordable, quality power tools, including the renowned Makita hedge trimmer line-up. Despite the name, Makita is an American company, based in New York. (See? Never jump to conclusions!) Makita originally was an electric motor company, but in 1970 switched focus to top of the line power tools. Gardeners everywhere are glad they did.

Racing Sponsor

Makita hedge trimmers might sound a little familiar to you, since Makita has been a major sponsor of sporting events for many years. You probably have seen their logos for motorcross racing teams and soccer (football) teams. Their bright red logo is a little hard to miss. They've also teamed with Suzuki as co-sponsors for some teams.

Advantages

But, you're not buying a Makita hedge trimmer because they like sports. You're buying it because you want a decent hedge trimmer. Makita hedge trimmers are lightweight (some only seven pounds) and feel very comfortable to hold, which means less fatigue and blisters for you. Many come with a "low noise" feature, which your neighbors will certainly appreciate.

Makita hedge trimmers are also made of premium products, not shoddy materials that will soon wear out. Makita hedge trimmers are made with premium steel, goes through at least nineteen quality checks, high-grade magnetic copper wire and runs for three minutes as a final check before leaving the factory. Despite all of this, Makita hedge trimmers are not the most expensive hedge trimmers you can buy.
