Someone, somewhere out there, in the big wild world, will place a finger between the blades, pull the trigger and instantly regret it. The good news is, they will still have seven fingers remaining. 👍🏼👌✌️
The problem is it so easy you get too confident. Even cutting the bamboo, you start with your other hand a foot away from where you are cutting, 5 cuts later it's right next to your fingers. I noticed this using it myself.
if u think that makita pro version of those prunes is expensive, you are hardly mistaken mein liebe. Before makita came with those prunes, we europeans, were usually buying infaco cordless prunes that makita copied. We were paying it for 2k euros haha, while makita is only 1k euros. As u can see, makita is twice cheaper than the usual tool (swiss infaco) thats generally being used haha. Those prunes are made for vineyard, and they have to be super quality, cuz they have to survive 8 hours of scissoring for 90 days haha. We usually had a joke that infaco was using golden wires in the scissors, to explain the price haha
I just received my pruners. Surprisingly they feel pretty solid and cut really fast and clean. In fact very very clean. Makita does need to make something like this pruner. Thanks for the tip on these pruners. I doubt I would have ever found them on my own. Nice birds! Nice channel! NZ rocks…. Thank you!
Got 30 acres of lantana and dead wattle to shred. Just ordered two of these and couldn’t agree more about the makita genuine product. Who could justify $2k for a pruner? An 18v unit is all I need!
Yep Makita, DeWalt and the others should do prosumer pruners. No one wants to have to buy a new battery platform. I'm not sure there's even a pruner on the Cordless Alliance System (CAS) .
Just received and tried it - FANTASTIC - thank you so much for making this video as was at a loss to get it started ie setting the cutting size - thanks once again,,
i dont get why makita doesn't make this in cordless model....who in da fuck would drop over $1000 on a fucking pruner? it would be cheaper to hire people multiple times to get that amount lmao
Makita do a vacuum cleaner 36 v it’s way overpriced also, it’s huge , almost tempted if it could be plugged in to mains with just one lead trailing , I wouldn’t mind that so much , as two 6 amp battery’s cost £ 170 , another note to makita GIVE US THE CHOICE !
It seems to have some power, I wonder how it would stack up against the Milwaukee PVC shears? they are the same price here in Canada. The problem with Makita making it is they would charge more money for it and it would probably not work any better.
We got ours the other day. I ordered about 3-4 months ago-pretty cool tool. I just wished it arrived before valentines because that week is the week I always prune everything in the garden to get ready for our gulf coast spring here in Texas. It is fantastic fun to chop stuff up so it fits in 😮trash can. I also turned branches into mulch when I was too lazy to bring to side of house with can. Thanks for the heads up. Home Depot has the DeWALT version.
I have this tool which I have started to use almost every day, for the past 3 months, for cutting coaxial cables and electrical cables and it seriously makes life alot easier. I read somewhere that you said this thing doesn't cut the same as it did when you first bought it.
yeah, at first i though it just produce just enough power. But after seeing how it cut 1" branch like butter it kinda shock me. They should at least designt it with enough safety feature, it just to dangerous the way it is. You can easily cut some of you limb accidently. the trigger even has long trigger which is easily triggered..I know you need to respect the tool you use, but you still cant deny how this tool can make small mistake to big accident.
It is not anywhere near as dangerous as any circular saw or angle grinder. You would have to deliberately put your finger or hand in it and pull the trigger. Would you put your hand in a standard pair of secateurs?
and whats wrong with a pair of secateurs?! my property developer neighbour would love this as it makes a silly noise and makes him think he's being noticed.
Get one here if you fancy it- www.banggood.com/custlink/vv3dPGLBgp
What a great tool!
Can't help but think how efficient the Mafia would be with it 🤔
Makita should make one - the Japanese yakuza could make great use of it.
Future mafia torture device ideal for taking off fingers ha
i think saws and drills are just as effective, lol..
A pair of Tobisho or Okatsune would do the same, though possibly slower and therefore more torturous.

@@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL Great video.
Okay mates. I'll bite. Do you have a link for the story? Thanks.
@@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL You might lose a few subscribers if you do that. Maybe you should keep it to yourself.
I bite my tongue every day.

nice video as you said there is one with a beckpack but ots also expensive as hell around 1000€ in Austria

Thank you!
It's an awesome bit of kit, I've found if you hold the trigger down then turn the tool off it keeps the blades closed which is safer to store.
Yeah that's what I do.
Great tip!
my grandma would love this tool! she would think that it is a real makita made tool ...

Im interested in seeing a teardown of youre thinking about it still
By the way love the channel. No nonsense reviews. I hate the cheesy American reviewers who are obviously just out for free swag
oh my banggod that thing looks bloodygood!
The link isn't working anymore. Can anyone recomend a tool same as this, so I dont buy some bad example? Aliexpress or any other site also?
Imagine this tool and bl4080f
Bad handling, but it looks cool
link dont work whats it called and were to buy in uk
thanks for this vid. didn't even know there was a knockoff of the makita pruners. sweet. chur
Got one for the wife... arrived quick to Melbourne ... she loved it
Now I want one
Ok, these are awesome. Ordered some
i dont get why makita doesn't make this in cordless model....who in da fuck would drop over $1000 on a fucking pruner? it would be cheaper to hire people multiple times to get that amount lmao
Haha Makita made one it's over $1000
Looks a great tool.......
They do make one :DUP361Z . But the priced is outrageous: 800€ here.
nvm.you mentioned it.
Makita do a vacuum cleaner 36 v it’s way overpriced also, it’s huge , almost tempted if it could be plugged in to mains with just one lead trailing , I wouldn’t mind that so much , as two 6 amp battery’s cost
£ 170 , another note to makita GIVE US THE CHOICE !
Will it trim and cut lead flashing ????trying to find a safer easier way to cut lead flashing(uk).
pretty cool... Would be nice to have an extension to reach up high in a tree. Probably have to have a bunch of weight on the end.
Where did you find this... I would love to add one of these to my collection????
I think it was a banggood special
Get one here if you fancy it- www.banggood.com/custlink/vv3dPGLBgp
Got one of these, makes short work of pruning the garden. Cost me £45 to the UK at the time
a powered sissor? runs on battery? david cross would want 1
This is a great tool but i never buy this for my wife. I like her fingers.
Good secutures them lol powerfull cutting them branches like nothing made out of butter gonna get that tool ideal for the garden
It seems to have some power, I wonder how it would stack up against the Milwaukee PVC shears? they are the same price here in Canada. The problem with Makita making it is they would charge more money for it and it would probably not work any better.
I watched it thinking it was going to be rubbish, but now I really think I need to buy one myself
Is this have fingers protect?
with another blade this can be the generic version of the smaller wire cutter that Dewalt has.

Nevermind. Left it outside on garden table and a rain storm came through when I picked it up it made beeping sound and smoke came out of it.
I have this but unfortunately cannot find replacement blades for it. Do you have a link maybe? The tool itself is great though

Love that tool makita deffo need to knock it off or make thier own 1
Do they still make those snips?!
Yep! Video soon. Probably over on Builds.
shoutout to #tullensnips 🤙
Do they make that with tin snip blades?
No but I have a review of what you might be after coming soon...
Just a quick question; does it only run of a regular Makita 18V battery of can u use a Makita 18v LXT battery as well? Cheers
What is your definition of a "regular" makita battery?
@@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL I am under the assumption that there is a difference between a LXT battery's and other MAkita 18V battery's. Am i wrong?
Makita 18v LXT batteries are the most common battery on earth. Let's leave it at that.
blades are available also?
Yes. I think I put a link somewhere...
Makita does make something nearly just like this. Pruning shears. Looks like it hooks up to the back pack
As I said in the video.
yea and it costs over $1000, you wanna spend that much on a fucking pruner? lol
Ordered. Looks decent. Found it listed for under £60 too
arrived yesterday... i love it!
Ha ha trim your toenails 😂
Where do you get the blades for this?
u cant use bamboo as firewood
Pretty sure you can.
I have this tool which I have started to use almost every day, for the past 3 months, for cutting coaxial cables and electrical cables and it seriously makes life alot easier. I read somewhere that you said this thing doesn't cut the same as it did when you first bought it.
Feels like it's losing power, but maybe I have just gotten used to other brands of similar tools.
@@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL Longshot here but do you know if there's any way I can make the cutting size a bit wider? Thanks pal.
@@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL Hey mate just wondering how the pruners going after a year of use?
this looks dangerous as hell, it needs two switches one for each hand
yeah, at first i though it just produce just enough power. But after seeing how it cut 1" branch like butter it kinda shock me. They should at least designt it with enough safety feature, it just to dangerous the way it is.

Looks like too much liability to me.
How do you feel about circular saws?
Definitely a dangerous tool thy needs the right respet
Respect
and whats wrong with a pair of secateurs?! my property developer neighbour would love this as it makes a silly noise and makes him think he's being noticed.
A lot of people have injuries or are of an age where manually using a pair of secateurs is difficult, painful or impossible.
