Also known as Makita Split Shaft Machines this range of gardening tools is designed for versatility and compatibility. This range consists of a ‘Power Head’ which is the ‘engine’ of the tool range which is compatible with a range of attachments which allow you to preform multiple garden tasks such as trimming, edging, pruning, and cutting with one ‘engine’.
Since Makita have gone completely cordless / battery powered their range now consists of three power heads so you can match the tool to your needs, whether you’re a homeowner, estate manager, or professional landscaper. Removing the hassle of petrol engines and the need for mixing and storing fuels or oils. Since Makita discontinued the EX2650 petrol unit, the demand for cordless power heads has soared.
Benefits of the Makita Combi System...
As there is only one power head the need for servicing or repairing several tools is reduced as you only need to maintain and service the one power head.
Each power head has a lever style lock system which allows for a quick and easy toolless installation or removal of the attachments.
