This ConBlom kit is a multi tool rather than a dedicated hedge trimmer. One extension pole carries a pole saw and a 31 cm hedge trimmer, and the box also holds grass shears and a brushless pruner. It is made to run on Makita 18V batteries but is not a Makita product, and no battery is included. It suits light, varied garden jobs more than serious hedge work.

In its favour
- One pole carries several heads: hedge trimmer, pole saw, grass shears and a brushless pruner.
- The pole extends from 1 m to 2 m and the head rotates 180 degrees, according to the listing.
- The pole saw has automatic chain tensioning and oiling for high branches.
Good to know
- A 31 cm blade and 6 to 8 mm cutting capacity limit it to light, soft hedge growth.
- It is a third party kit made to fit Makita batteries, not a Makita tool, and no battery is included.
Our take
What comes in the kit
The listing describes a pole saw with automatic oiling and chain tensioning, a 31 cm dual action hedge trimmer, 15 cm grass shears and a pruner with an SK5 steel blade. The pruner offers three cutting capacities, given as 3.8, 5.1 and 6.4 cm. Sharing one pole and one battery type across these heads saves shed space compared with buying each tool on its own.
The pole extends from about 1 m to 2 m, and the head rotates through 180 degrees, which helps you reach high branches without a ladder.
Hedge trimming limits
For hedges, the numbers are modest. A 31 cm blade with a cutting capacity of 6 to 8 mm is suited to soft, fresh growth on small hedges and shrubs. It is not built for woody laurel or overgrown privet, where a trimmer with an 18 mm or wider gap is far more comfortable.
The listing also mixes figures for the pole saw, mentioning both 6 in and 8 in branches, so treat its saw capacity with some caution.
Batteries and build
No battery or charger is supplied. The kit is designed around Makita 18V packs, so it is aimed at people who already own them. Amazon lists the weight at 6.15 kg, which likely covers the whole kit rather than one assembled tool.
Better picks for hedges
If hedges are the main job, the Ryobi OPT1845 kit has a 45 cm blade, an 18 mm gap and a 115 degree head with a battery included. Bosch Professional's GHE 18V-50 TP goes further with a 2.5 m pole and a 23.5 mm tooth opening.
Verdict
Consider this kit if you own Makita 18V batteries and want one pole for light pruning, high branches, small hedges and lawn edges. Its hedge trimmer is small and limited to thin growth. For real hedge work, choose a dedicated pole trimmer such as the Ryobi OPT1845 kit or the Bosch GHE 18V-50 TP.
