Makita A-76043 Hedge Trimmer EN402MP
I finally managed to get one after pre-ordering!

The other day I had the
Ground Trimmer Attachment EN424MP
that amazing thing you roll along

So I thought, wouldn’t an adjustable-angle
trimmer be less impressive?
(*\u00b4\u03c9\uff40*)

Actually, it’s not bad at all! Pretty comfortable
But here’s the thing:<\/p>\n\n\n

\n

It’s too long to swing around. So heavy…<\/p>\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n



<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Here’s what the overall setup looks like

The blade is 500 mm
Total length is 1444 mm

When connected, it’s quite long.
I mean, it’s really long…

And
with the blade at the end, it feels even heavier

Like fishing, maybe?
You’re just<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
\n

The blade uses a sliding cut action. No debris flies around.<\/p>\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n



In power tool terms,
it’s kind of like the difference between a grinder and a nibbler.


Rotary versus reciprocating
different cutting methods
Unlike the centrifugal force of rotary tools,
this one does a “snip-snip” cut
which keeps debris and spray to a minimum<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Just lower it to adjust the angle”

Super convenient,
but if you push it too hard it’ll slip
*Don’t overdo it<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n
\n

You can adjust the angle in really fine increments.<\/p>\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n

One-touch adjustment\u2014a really appreciated feature<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Portability and storage
“It’s best to disconnect it every time”
The adjustment only moves 90\u201390 degrees
*Probably because having more range of motion
would be dangerous if it swung toward you

The M5 bolts can be modified to a lever-style fastener too<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

An area with dense growth nearly 2 meters tall

I decided to give it a try, swinging away
and cutting the grass<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I can cover this much in about 10 minutes.
Performance better than I expected
(*\u00b4\u03c9\uff40*)Wow!

But
it’s long, so it’s heavy
To put it in perspective…<\/p>\n\n\n

\n

Like swinging a mop around in a swimming pool?<\/p>\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n



Not quite that extreme,
but that’s the general idea

Chip saws really are versatile!
That’s what I realized<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It uses body movements you don’t normally make,
so it’s surprisingly tiring

Especially since you’re gripping the switch while swinging,
my right arm in particular…

I’ve completely fallen for
the split-shaft motor.<\/p>\n\n\n
