Cordless Electric Pruning Shears for Makita 18V Batteries

Professional cordless pruning for fast, clean cuts

- These Electric Pruning Shears are designed for reliable, high-output trimming of branches in gardens, orchards and vineyards. Powered by a compatible 18V lithium battery (not included), they deliver consistent cutting performance without the restrictions of power cords or fuel, making them suitable for both intensive professional work and demanding home garden care.

Constructed from durable metal with a robust PVC housing, the shears operate at a working voltage of 21V with a rated power of 100W and maximum power of 500W. The tungsten steel blade provides a clean cutting range up to approximately 30 mm, ideal for flower branches, fruit trees, shrubs and potted plants. The compact, ergonomically shaped handle is designed to sit securely in the hand, reducing strain during extended use and enabling precise control around dense foliage or tight spaces. Operation is straightforward: insert a compatible 18V B‑series lithium battery, power on, and engage the trigger for smooth, powered cuts that significantly reduce manual effort compared with traditional hand pruners.

The cordless design allows full freedom of movement along rows of vines or trees, with no risk of cord damage or entanglement. Maintenance is simple: the blade can be cleaned and lubricated after use, and access to the battery compartment is designed for quick changes between charged packs. Safety is supported by an electric shut-off when not in active use, helping to reduce the risk of accidental activation during handling or transport. This tool is supplied as the bare machine only, without battery or charger, to integrate easily into existing 18V systems.

Battery compatibility is focused on Makita-style 18V B-series lithium batteries, such as BL1850B (197285-8), BL1840B (197270-1), BL1830B (197602-2), BL1430B (197618-7), BL1820B (197487-6), BL1850, BL1840, BL1440 (196391-6), BL1415 (194560-3) and BL1815N (196781-3). It is not compatible with Makita G-series batteries (e.g. BL1813G, BL1413G, BL1415G, BL1430G, BL1815G) or 18V Ni‑Cd batteries such as 1822 (194465-7). This focused compatibility ensures stable performance and simplifies battery management for users already working within the Makita 18V platform.

• Cordless operation with 18V lithium batteries allows unrestricted movement and quick battery swaps, integrating smoothly with existing Makita 18V tool systems.
• Tungsten steel blade and ergonomic handle support precise, clean cuts with reduced hand and arm fatigue during longer pruning sessions.

FAQ

Q: Is a battery or charger included with these pruning shears?
A: No. This item is supplied as the bare machine only, without battery or plug. It is intended for use with compatible 18V B-series lithium batteries, such as many Makita 18V packs listed in the compatibility information.

Q: What branch thickness can these shears cut?
A: The rated cutting range is up to approximately 30 mm, depending on the type, hardness and condition of the wood. For very hard or dry branches, cutting slightly below the maximum diameter is recommended.

Q: Are these pruning shears suitable for professional work?
A: Yes. The electric drive, tungsten steel blade and ergonomic construction make them suitable for frequent use in orchards, vineyards, landscaping and intensive garden maintenance.

Q: Which batteries are not compatible?
A: These shears are not compatible with Makita G-series batteries (such as BL1813G, BL1413G, BL1415G, BL1430G, BL1815G) or 18V Ni‑Cd batteries such as 1822. Only use compatible 18V B-series lithium batteries for correct operation.
