One Small Step to Better Solutions. Makita Split Motor Improved Convenience

Hooray for Makita!
Now it’s the season for fallen leaves

Like everything else,
with just a little adjustment and preparation,

“I don’t feel like using tools”

—you know that feeling, right?
What caught my attention this time

Makita A-76043 Split Grass Trimmer Hedge Trimmer Attachment (Compact Type) EN402MP (Angle Adjustable)

“When you use it, the angle droops”
It’s so incredibly frustrating~

This is so convenient!
It’s great to have both long and short ones!

Makita A-76043 Split Grass Trimmer Hedge Trimmer Attachment (Compact Type) EN402MP (Angle Adjustable)

This item
Grass cutting supreme!

Maybe “supreme” is an overstatement,
but it’s definitely hyper-good.

Even with fairly thick grass,
“Chop! Chop!” it
mows it down~
What a reliable item!
I was impressed.

However,
when used differently from its intended purpose,
swinging it left and right like grass cutting,

“the angle drops”

It’s fine with light grass,
but with bamboo-like stuff, it’s no good
bit by bit
can’t withstand the impact and gravity?

I have to adjust the angle back every swing
so tedious~
I studied the structure (*´ω`*)

There’s a spring inside the orange tip,
and the angle is fixed by that tension.

While it’s easy to adjust,
the problem is it resets from impact and gravity.

First, I tried enlarging the hole on the other side
so the pin would go in deeper.

However,
this failed and didn’t solve anything.



Physical lock with a GoPro clamp!

I physically locked the angle adjustment so it can’t be released
with a clamp.

Perfect! It won’t drop anymore!

For those who use it roughly
and the angle changes, I recommend it♪

This clamp is easy to tighten,
and there’s a spring on the clamp return side,
so you can release it quickly.

This is a perfect fit!
I always store my split motor
with the head removed.

This allows space-saving storage.
For those like me who aren’t serious about it?
A must-see.

By using this,
when removing it, you reduce the hassle of loosening screws by one step.

Since I inevitably work tired and dirty on site,
I want to make things easier however I can.
It’s become much more efficient.

Small things make
a huge difference in work efficiency.
