Makita Edger (EE400MP) - Review

Edit: Thank you to Toms Yard Maintenance for pointing out my error at 3m9s! The blade is 203mm (8") long and not 270mm (10.6").

Here's my take on the Makita EE400MP Edging Attachment which I use on my 36v Makita Power Head.
Do you NEED one?
Residential - no. But it is faster/easier to get nice edges.
Commercial - I would - it will save you a lot of time.

great video without all the " look at me, now I am going to show you how to: " title of video"... (which the viewer obviously already knows) so thankyou so much for that, I was already interested to watch! and it made me smile! Thankyou!!

For the additional uses bit, I wasn’t expecting it to do tht well with tht

[leighharvey]

Wanting to know if the 18v multi tool is powerful enough? Some people say it needs 36v

[chrishewson]

Would this work on edges running along a gravel path slightly overgrown with nothing in between I've tried strimming it but it's hard work and uses up the line very quickly as it's cutting down against the gravel

What speed do you run your 36v power head at? Reason I ask is that I'm wondering if an 18v head would suffice.

Hello there, nice to see the attachment in function. Do you think I could run a 8" Crimped Wire Wheel instead of the original blade?

[bobcougar]

How do you like the Powerhead line-trimmer vs a dedicated trimmer?

270mm or10.6 inch blade? Looks like an 8 inch or 200 mm blade to me.

I like this, but I've never seen one used on a lawn without hard surface to place the wheel on. Do they work on lawn without hard edges? You would solve a lot of mystery for me. Thanks for the video

I have a petrol edger which served me well for more than 10 years. It's now shot, so am thinking of getting one of these. I have been on the edge (no pun intended) for a while now, and was initially looking at the Ryobi, but it does seem to be very flimsy in comparison. With the cost of this attachment plus the power head, still not sure if this is something worthwhile for me to buy. Would seem to be cheaper just to buy another petrol edger.

Does the blade not just get destroyed with you heating concrete etc ?

[ademaiden-Cinematography]

My lawn is a circle, any good for this?

[Novica]

Nice vid man, I think I'm gonna grab one 👍

[droptop]

Great job & great edge, but if you trimmed any branches of mine like that than I would be trimming something of yours off sharpish.

[forger]

Lololol. I meself likes certain plants a little overgrown rofl. Looking forward to the 36V vs 40V and the "practical" runtime.

[nswayze]

Great review, thanks for that. Where are you buying your clothes?

[SuperDrake]

Looks like the grass in Australia grows about as fast as in Florida.

Great video. Suggest wearing a face shield.

Love your wife lol . I have a ryobi battery lawn mower and I want a battery operated whipped snipped . I am disabled and my carers loo, after my yard now so I want something very simple . My back yard isnt very big what do you recommend a corded one or battery petrol is out to hard to maintain for my carers . Thanks from Sydney Australia I have a victa not ryobi . The victa was cheaper and easy to use .
