Easily change from grass shear to hedge trimmer for minor hedge trimming. The XMU04ZX has dual blade action and a wide 6-5/16” cutting width and delivers faster blade speed (2, 500 strokes per minute/SPM) than the previous model. When using a fast-charging 18V LXT 5. 0Ah battery (sold separately), users will get up to 200 minutes of run time on a single charge. It has 3-stage adjustment so the cutting height can be matched to the application. Additional features include a rubberized soft grip handle, tool-less blade changing, non-electrolyzed nickel-plated blades to resist staining and rusting, and a compact size at only 4. 1 lbs. (with battery, sold separately). It’s part of Makita’s expanding 18V Lithium-Ion System, the world’s largest cordless tool system powered by 18V lithium-ion slide-style batteries. Makita 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Batteries have the fastest charge times in their categories, so they spend more time working and less time sitting on the charger. For improved tool performance and extended battery life, Makita created Star Protection Computer Controls . Star Protection is communication technology that allows the Star Protection-equipped tool and battery to exchange data in real time and monitor conditions during use to protect against overloading, over-discharging and overheating. For increased versatility, the tool can also be powered by Makita 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Batteries with the star symbol on the battery indicating Star Protection inside. Review: I use it to trim plants and works very well, very versatile and easy to use! Review: I have an ornamental grass garden and once they go dormant in the winter I have to cut them down to just above ground level. These cutters are great for that task and only a larger, heavier duty hedge trimmer would be better. ## Features - Up to 3 hours of run time with 18V LXT 5.0Ah battery (battery not included) - Makita-built motor delivers up to 2,500 SPM for efficient cutting - 2-in-1 quick blade change from grass shear to hedge trimmer - Grass shear features easy to operate 3 stage cutting height adjustment (9/16", 3/4", 1") - 6-5/16" shear blade with dual cutting action for maximum efficiency ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B089J87426 | | ASIN | B089J87426 | | Best Sellers Rank | #55,892 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #15 in Power Shears | | Blade Length | 16 Inches | | Blade Material | Stainless Steel | | Brand Name | Makita | | Color | turqouise | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars (950) | | Customer reviews | 4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars (950) | | Cutting width | 16 Inches | | Date First Available | 26 August 2020 | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00088381723442 | | Included Components | Unit^Instruction Guide | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 19.9L x 35.2W x 18.1H centimeters | | Item Type Name | 18V LXT Grass Shear with Hedge Trimmer Blade | | Item Weight | 454 g | | Item model number | XMU04ZX | | Manufacturer | Makita | | Manufacturer | Makita | | Manufacturer Part Number | XMU04ZX | | Material Type | Plastic Metal | | Model Number | XMU04ZX | | Power Source | Battery Powered | | Product Dimensions | 19.91 x 35.2 x 18.11 cm; 453.59 g | | UPC | 088381723442 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Makita - **Colour:** turqouise - **Item weight:** 1 Pounds - **Power source:** Battery Powered - **Product dimensions:** 19.9L x 35.2W x 18.1H centimeters ## Images ![Makita XMU04ZX 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion Cordless Grass Shear with Hedge Trimmer Blade, Tool Only - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61VkNuW7zTL.jpg) ![Makita XMU04ZX 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion Cordless Grass Shear with Hedge Trimmer Blade, Tool Only - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/518VUmQiolL.jpg) ![Makita XMU04ZX 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion Cordless Grass Shear with Hedge Trimmer Blade, Tool Only - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/512jdIXXMdL.jpg) ![Makita XMU04ZX 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion Cordless Grass Shear with Hedge Trimmer Blade, Tool Only - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61M3ieLTOKL.jpg) ![Makita XMU04ZX 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion Cordless Grass Shear with Hedge Trimmer Blade, Tool Only - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61YVe4qvaRL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: How do you sharpen the blades?** A: Don't know for sure. You can take the blades off and hand sharpen. Perhaps Makita may sharpen it? **Q: Why am i having a hard time locating the hedge trimmer attachment (in the us)? internationally, it appears to be viably available.** A: I had a really hard time finding this part . It took me forever but here it is Makita 198408-1 **Q: Does the BL1041B battery fits this shear?** A: My battery (I bought locally) is a standard Makita 18V Battery 4.0 Amp: BL1840B from a local store. So your battery should fit fine. It will accept a range of Makita batteries. Probably all. **Q: Can it cut emerald zoysia** A: this will cut off your finger! This is no toy or average clipper. It can cut small branches. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by J***E on 9 January 2023* I use it to trim plants and works very well, very versatile and easy to use! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by J***M on 6 February 2026* I have an ornamental grass garden and once they go dormant in the winter I have to cut them down to just above ground level. These cutters are great for that task and only a larger, heavier duty hedge trimmer would be better. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by R***K on 14 March 2026* This has been a real nice addition to my yard tools. I purchased the extension handle (from another source) and it makes trimming a breeze. I'm 76 with 5 spinal surgeries making it difficult to impossible to bend. This tool has been a godsend. I highly recommend it. ## Frequently Bought Together - Makita XMU04Z 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless Grass Shear, Tool Only - Makita 198486-1 Long Handle Attachment - Makita BL1840BDC1 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion Battery and Charger Starter Pack (4.0Ah) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/467095095-makita-xmu04zx-18v-lxt-lithium-ion-cordless-grass-shear-hedge](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/467095095-makita-xmu04zx-18v-lxt-lithium-ion-cordless-grass-shear-hedge) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-07*
