Makita 40V max XGT Brushless Cordless 24" Articulating Pole Hedge Trimmer — Bare Tool
The Makita GNU01Z 40V max XGT Brushless Cordless 24" Articulating Pole Hedge Trimmer is a professional-grade cordless solution for trimming tall, low-lying, and hard-to-reach hedges. Built around Makita's 40V max XGT® platform, it combines a brushless motor, 24-inch double-sided blade, and articulating shaft to provide strong cutting performance with greater positioning flexibility.
The cutting head offers a 115° working range with six angle settings, making it easier to adjust the blade for overhead trimming, hedge tops, and lower sections. Its commercial-duty gear case is designed for durability, while XPT™ protection helps increase resistance to dust and water in demanding outdoor environments.
This is the bare-tool version: the battery and charger are not included.
Key Features
- 40V max XGT® Power: Designed for demanding professional landscaping applications.
- Brushless Motor: Makita-built brushless motor delivers up to 4,000 strokes per minute (SPM) for fast cutting.
- 24" Double-Sided Blade: Provides a wide cutting path for efficiently maintaining larger hedges.
- Articulating Cutting Head: Six angle positions provide a 115° working range for overhead and low-lying hedge trimming.
- Three Speed Settings: Choose between 2,000, 3,000, and 4,000 SPM to balance cutting performance and battery runtime.
- Up to 1" Branch Capacity: Designed to handle branches up to 1 inch in diameter.
- Commercial-Duty Gear Case: Built for improved durability in professional applications.
- Grease Fitting: Allows convenient gear-case maintenance using a compatible grease gun.
- Soft-Grip Handle: Helps improve comfort and control when working at different cutting angles.
- XPT™ Protection: Engineered for increased resistance to dust and water in harsh job-site conditions.
- Star Protection Computer Controls™: Helps protect the tool and battery against overloading, over-discharging, and overheating.
- Cordless Operation: Eliminates fuel mixing, pull starts, exhaust emissions, and extension cords.
Cutting Performance
The GNU01Z provides three selectable cutting speeds:
| Speed Setting | Blade Speed |
|---|---|
| Low | 2,000 SPM |
| Medium | 3,000 SPM |
| High | 4,000 SPM |
The lower settings can be useful when conserving battery power or working with lighter vegetation, while the high setting provides maximum cutting speed for more demanding trimming. Makita rates the tool for up to 65 minutes of runtime on High when paired with a 40V max XGT 4.0Ah battery.
Articulating Head for Flexible Trimming
One of the main advantages of the GNU01Z is its adjustable cutting head. With six angle settings across a 115° working range, the blade can be positioned to suit different hedge surfaces. This is particularly useful when trimming the tops of tall hedges or working on lower sections where a fixed cutting angle would be less convenient.
