Milwaukee M12 Tool Line

and the Makita LXT 18V

My Makita pole saw is the double battery type. It came with an extension 'section', which can make it somewhat unwieldy, but it works very well.

A bonus is that Makita sells a whipper-snipper attachment that fits the operator section. I bought that separately and it works fine.

We already had a Stihl combi so it made sense to me to plan for a battery Stihl power head. We purchased a Stihl lawnmower a few yrs ago ( before Milwaukee or Mikita) and picked up the combi power head last fall when they were on sale fore a good price with 2 batteries. 3 batteries lets me trim, blow, and cut the lawn. The first battery is charged before I am finished.
